Favorite Concept Albums?

What are OT's favorite concept albums? Mine is "Kezia" by Protest the Hero. It tells the story of a messianic woman named Kezia who is martyred and what-not. Its very good. Their musicianship is very intelligent while maintaining brutality and interest. And their lyrics are surprisingly literate. Here's the cover:

Oh. I dunno. Maybe:

Illinoise by Sufjan Stevens? Dunno if that counts.

Edit - according to Wikipedia it does :P

lol. that's not conceptual, though. and, imo, not nearly as good as Kezia. are you a PtH fan, or just being wry?

Yeah, I like them. :) I just didn't know any conceptual albums, so I just put another PtH one there, lol. :P

Lets say...

A 40 minute song whose first lyrics are "I really dont mind, if you sit this one out" ? I love this freakin album.

yeah, thats definitely a concept album. i had in mind more story based albums, but thats a really out of the box one. thanks!ANNIHILISM

This will be entirely biased but i thought Sgt Peppers Loney Hearts Club Band was a good concept for a album by The Beatles, basically now that they stopped touring that staged this kinda virtual/ audio tour displayed within the songs.

John Frusciante - The Empyrean

Sort of the complete opposite of your band by the sounds of it though. Mellow & psychedelic for the most part.

Oh Sleeper - Son of the Morning

CunninLynguists - A Piece of Strange

Great minds think alike.

I found it at Best Buy one day I believe it was. If anything, maybe get it through Amazon.com.

These two, definitely.

De-Loused In The Comatorium by The Mars Volta

Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson

The album (Fas - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum by Deathspell Omega) is less about an external journey or happening, but more about a man's thoughts as he descends into what is lyricized as a carnal, 'glorious' depravity. It's an interesting idea that has it's roots in some philosophy, and this is the second album in an ongoing series by them that continues this theme and concept. The album is twisting and turning, chaotic and altogether violently atmospheric, which is why I love it so much.

Frank zappa - Joe's garage
