		the pinaccle of prog-metal and the paragon of concept albums.
		I think the definition of a concept album is this: Rather than use the vinyl to record 8 to 12 seperate concepts, the songs,(even if they have a common theme), the band uses the vinyl as the canvas for their single concept.
		If "concept album" simply means that all the songs share some theme, then every soundtrack is a concept album, and I'm sure it would be easy to name a boy band album where every track was about how much they love some girl.

	Pitchfork Feature: Top 50 Albums of 2006
		The whole album, ragged at the edges and bloody with tone, is swollen in the best way, and it crests from peak to peak across 13 tracks that are at once meditative and eruptive.
		The racks are cluttered with promising albums from British post-punk bands boasting charismatic singers, needling guitar work, and hollow, driving drums.
		But even the biggest fan of those albums probably wouldn't deny craving a sequel to pop records like Goo and Dirty, and on their first post-O'Rourke effort, Sonic Youth offer exactly that: Twelve shiny, beefed-up rockers that funnel noise into melody at a level not seen since The Year Punk Broke.

	Muse's Muse Songwriting Message Board -> Concept albums / rock operas
		Where as on a regular album with similar themes...those songs can stand on their own...but with a concept album...the songs still can stand on there own...but it maight be a little bit more out there unless you're already in the story.

		And the craziest part was when people would ask for a description of the album: toward the end of explaining the Pulp Fiction-ish structuring narrative, I had to pause and say, "I can't say any more without ruining how it ends." That's the sign of a good album.
		This was the album for people who wanted to forget in three-and-a-half-minute increments that GW has already taken us through two wars.
		Kelefa Sanneh's critique of the goofy word led me into more conversations than any album this year, and because of that, it was better than all those boring old-timer albums.

		This album has the potential to come off this list at some point in time as Randolph has the potential to be one of the saviors of rock and roll.
		If this list was created in the mid-eighties, there is no way this album would be included as it was the biggest live album of that time.

		Lil Jon is the real star, however, and this album finds him delving into the depths of southern dance music and subsequently surfacing with not just his own best work of the year, but one of the best albums of 2004.
		If Franz Ferdinand's debut album is the most unanimously acclaimed rock album to achieve mainstream success since the first Strokes album, it has less to do with the album's strengths and more to do with the album's lack of weaknesses.

		This is the same with their other albums of the 70s that some people here have contended to be great concept albums, such as Hemispheres, and while that is also a remarkable album, the four songs have nothing to do with eachother.
		The rest of the album is composed of five or so stand-alone tracks, two five-part vignets that tell a story, and several individual tracks that support the story.

	Krautrock artists/bands list
		Krautrock refers to the legions of German bands of the early '70s that expanded the sonic possibilities of art and progressive rock.
		Instead of following in the direction of their British and American counterparts, who were moving toward jazz and classical-based compositions and concept albums, the German bands became more mechanical and electronic.
		Working with early synthesizers and splicing together seemingly unconnected reels of tape, bands like Faust, Can, and Neu created a droning, pulsating sound that owed more to the avant garde than to rock & roll.
