Feet, Clowns, Negars?!?? No! Favorite Concept Album.

[Reign in Acai]

Has this thread been done before?!?! :Spin:


Top 3 in no particular order of awesomeness.


Edge of Sanity - Crimson
Ayreon - The Human Equation
Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory


Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime is also lovely, but holds no sentimental value in this heart.

Damn, my choices are pretty common.

 

[Dark One]

Blech.... GMD or Progpower forum thread.

 

[JayKeeley]

Mindcrime is the obvious response, but I'll think further before I respond to ye questioning.

Isn't Morningrise supposed to be a concept btw?

 

[skeptik]

Several King Diamond albums.[/obvious]

 

[AsModEe]

My Arms your Hearse is also a concept album, and I like it better than Morningrise.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

King Diamond for sure
Heavenly - Dust to Dust
Blind Guardian - NIME
Bal-Sagoth

 

[IOfTheStorm]

In the end there can be only one (Mindcrime that is)..but because this is the obvious answer, as already said, and the topic wouldnt be interesting if everyone mentions only this, here is a top 10 + 1 :

Fates Warning-A.P.S.O.G.
Nevermore-Dreaming Neon Black
Candlemass-Tales Of Creation
Eloy-Power And The Passion
Shadow Gallery-Tyranny
Ayreon-Into The Electric Castle
Genesis-The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
The Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow
Eternity X - The Edge
Wolverine - Cold Light Of Monday
Saviour Machine - Legend I

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

DNB, Mindcrime and Virgin Steele's Invictus.

DNB may also be switched with NIME, I can't really decide.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

MARILLION - Misplaced Childhood
GENESIS - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
PINK FLOYD - The Wall
THE WHO - Tommy
QUEENSRYCHE - Operation: Mindcrime
KING DIAMOND - Abigail
ULVER - Bergtatt
IRON MAIDEN - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
SAVATAGE - Dead Winter Dead

 

[skeptik]

Countess - The Book Of The Heretic

 

[Hell Mike]

Seventh Son and Blood in Ice

edit: and nattens madrigal obviously

 

[Evil?]

Ah yes, Nattens. That slipped my mind. Good call.

 

[skeptik]

I didn't know Nattens Madrigal was a concept album. Oh well, put that on my list.

 

[Evil?]

If you read the liner notes and the lyrics it explains it all. Pretty nifty.

 

[skeptik]

Yeah, I should probably do that more often, but most bands are shitty lyricists and so it's usually not worth my time.

 

[Hell Mike]

It's a beautiful haunting romantic dark tale of lycanthropy to be taken partially literally and partially picturesque (?word) explaining the different sides of man.. or something. Anyway, it rules a whole lot and is fucking awesome and the second best album ever.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Current 93 - All The Pretty Little Horses
Fields Of The Nephilim - Elizium
Katatonia - Brave Murder Day
Lux Occulta - Forever Alone. Immortal.
Negura Bunget - 'N Crugu Bradului
Ulver - The Trilogie
Ulver - Perdition City

some of it might be stretching the definition of a concept album, but anyway...

 

[General Zod]

Mindcrime is the only correct answer. After that (in no order), Pink Floyd's The Wall, Nevermore's Dreaming Neon Black and Opeth's Still Life.

 

[Will Bozarth]

St Anger

 

[Claws of Perdition]

Nevermore's Dreaming Neon Black and Opeth's Still Life.

These are correct both my favourite albums of said bands also.

St Anger

WIN!
