if you want to witness a true concept album classic getting performed as a whole, I just thought it could be of interest for you all that prog-death band DISILLUSION will be playing BACK TO TIMES OF SPLENDOR live in its entirety (and a few other surprises according to them) on 29 May 2015 in Vienna, Austria at Viper Room.

So, 8 years have passed since a majority of this thread was posted - are there any cool concept albums that have been released since?
What are your current favorites? - Which of the old ones have stood the test of time and which have been added ever since?
Since I am a sucker for a cool concept album, I am always looking for new ones up my alley that I might have missed...
My all time favorites list as of now:
Symphony X - V
Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory
Mind's Eye - A Gentleman's Hurricane (This is sooo good!!)
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth
Pain of Salvation - BE
Sylvan - Posthumous Silence
Devin Townsend - Terria
Currently eagerly waiting for:
Steven Wilson - Hand.Cannot.Erase
Honorable Mentions:
Blind Guardian - Beyond the Red Mirror - some really strong stuff on there and some stuff that doesn't reach me (yet?)
A.C.T. - Circus Pandemonium + The Last Epic
Shadow Gallery - Tyranny + Room V
Marillion - Brave
Pain of Salvation - One Hour By the Concrete Lake + The Perfect Element + Remedy Lane
Ten - Babylon
There are other albums that were mentioned before that just didn't really grab me (Mindcrime, ChristO being just two of those).

Some really good stuff has happened since 2007. I still stick with what I wrote, but may need to add to it.
