Everything by Nightingale up until their most recent studio release was conceptually linked.

Great! I certainly didn't think of Triumvirat, and Rick Wakeman, more than 30 concept albums... wow, the guy's a living concept

Even though they are not concept albums truly, Symphony X does put together some very conceptual stuff.

Same with the Flower Kings.

even thier tremulant ep is a concept i believe i read somewhere.

I'm not sure about Tremulant being a concept EP, but a line in "Eunuch Provocateur" includes the phrase "De-Loused in the Comatorium," and "Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt" has this line: "It's not over 'til the Tremulant sings..." So it is possible that they are related, but I don't know for certain.

yes they are loosely related (tremulant is about the actual cult and doesn't include anything about Cerpin Taxt) and Tremulant IS a concept album. If I can find the info on the album i'll send you (moatilliata) a PM with the info.

I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

I want to pick that up. I'll have to order it though.

BE is a bit disappointing because, as it see it, there's little actual music on it. It almost never rocks. I still like it though.

Yes, I feel the same. RL is much better

I dont know how that man makes as much music as he does, but yeah all of his are concept(ish) lol

even his newer albums still are. Out There is extremely good and all about an idea that music came from extraterrestrial sources (at least thats what my thoughts were)

Is it stretching too far to say that Jethro Tull only made concept albums? even though Anderson wouldnt admit that Aqualung was a concept album, its still arguable that it is. Maybe not thier earlier stuff, but after aqualung, almost all of thier albums were stories

As far as I know, although they didn't start out as a concept act, every studio album W.A.S.P. put out since 'Headless Children' has been a concept album. Could be wrong though..
