Your Favorite Concept Album

[CF87]

For one song albums, I prefer Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness. Then again, Green Carnation is one of my favorite bands so I'm biased.

Great choice. I always find this album to be very emotional and moving(not in an 'Emo" I hang out at the mall wearing eyeliner and listen to indie rock way!)

 

[LuminousAether]

Yeah, I think the story behind it and everything just makes it even more emotional. It's nearly perfect (I'm not a huge fan of the part with the wailing female vocals).

 

[RevolutionIsMyName]

Probably between King Diamonds "Them" and Mastodon's "Leviathan"

 

[Demilich]

Edge of Sanity's "Crimson" and Bathory's "Blood on Ice"

 

[Gordy_gorestained]

At the moment, I don't know, but I'm guessing it soon will be Dimmus' In Sorte Diaboli.

 

[Hubster]

What is your favorite concept album? For me it's Iron Maiden's Seventh Son.

Fucking OATH man. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is THE fucking concept album of concept albums.

 

[Death Animal]

nowone like W.A.S.P-Crimsin Idol.
That´s my favorite.

Savatage: Streets

That´s also cool.

 

[Wires & Waves]

husker du - zen arcade
neutral milk hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea

to be honest though concept albums are fucking gay

 

[CF87]

Probably Abigail.

and Conspiracy.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

and Conspiracy.

YEAH! And THEM!

 

[MetalAges]

Iced Earth - Horror Show if that counts lol

That's more of a thematic album vs. concept.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

That's more of a thematic album vs. concept.

But still great.

Man, I binged on that album for a while after I got it- especially Damien and Dracula- and now I can barley listen to it. Hopefully in a few monthes or so I'll be able to enjoy it again. In moderation this time.

 

[Disarmonia_Mundi]

Persefone - Core (Best fucking concept album ever imho)

 

[Carcassian]

Anathema - Eternity (albeit more conceptually held together than an unfolding story)

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Persefone - Core (Best fucking concept album ever imho)

Good album!

 

[[Nightmare]]

cradle of filth - cruelty and the beast

well i think it is one, i am sure it is

 

[Son of Evil]

Earlier, I mentioned Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle as my favorite Ayreon Concept album.

I take it back, just gave Universal Migrator II: Flight of the Migrator a thorough listening. Its lightyears better than Electric Castle. Russell Allen's performance in that album was phenomenal.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

human equation FTW!

 

[Wolfman1966]

Queensryche:Operation Mindcrime
btw, has anyon got Operation Mindcrime 2? How is it?

Oh and TSO is the shit when it comes to combining Heavy Metal and Orchestral

 

[CttN]

Symphony X - The Odyssey.

I wouldn't say the Odyssey is a concept album as much as the last song is an epic. And I'd have to say Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite, or Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime.
