dream theater - scenes from a memory...their best album to date with very little wankery and bullshit.

I like this album as well, but there is quite a bit of wankery on it I think. The ballads on this album are a lot better than their failed attempts on earlier albums.
 
I never got the feeling that Antichrist Superstar had a concept. Or was good, for that matter...

Well, it is. As for the latter, it's a matter of taste. I played the hell out of it when it came out. HAven't listened in a while.


Another concept album: Wolverine - The Window Purpose
