One thing I don't understand is the rather wanton labelling of albums as 'concept albums'. Like, I don't see how CTTE or 2112 or concept albums as its only the one track/side that is in any way linked, but I've seen things like CTTE labelled as the 'ultimate concept album'.

A term that seems to have bandied about instead of concept album is 'rock opera'- not sure whether that was used more frequently in 60s and 70s.
Sure it could. Nick's quote is howerver a pretty strong argument for it being a planned concept :)

2112 and CTTE, however... are NOT concept albums in any way. Ignore anyone who say they are. :)
