I think they're either pretentious or fascinating

i think concept albums are pretty cool
i really like trainwreck

The Early November album was a trainwreck.

i love concept albums. some try to hard though and really ruin it for me. but i absolutely love them when they flow well and are cohesive

i think Drop Dead, Gorgeous' concept album would work well for a movie but didn't do so hot musically.

This reminded me to start listening to VR again.

when done right, and they actually do have a solid and interesting concept behind them, they can be amazing. When they're MCR's Black Parade, they aren't.

i had no idea sisters of the red death was a concept album. i obviously didn't get the concept. it wasn't that great an album either...

If the story is interesting, then I'll go with it. I know Coheed has this whole concept idea to it, but I just don't care about it, so I just listen to the songs as individual songs and not as a concept. God I hate the Coheed concept.

Year Zero was the last good concept album I listened to.

I thought The Black Parade was a poorly-executed concept but a good album.

i miss vendetta red. thanks for the reminder?

one concept album that stands out currently is trainwreck. great album and good ideas.

as a say anything fan, i'm waiting to hear responses of what in defense of the genre is [going to be] like as a concept album...

yes, I would concede that, to a point anyways.

nin's year zero was an amazing concept! I was so impressed with it, the ARG that went along with it was so cool. I just wish the album hadn't been so beat focused, I was let down but the songs themselves.

Murder By Death's "Who Will Survive and what will be left of them?"

good call. this album was good, but failed miserably with the whole "concept" idea. i must think of others

I think every album is a concept album in a sense. Maybe not a narrative like a Coheed or Rush or Floyd. But every album has a theme that ties it all together. I don't like referring to albums as "concept albums" for this very reason. I think it limits it too much.
