Its a semi concept!!! There is a "general" idea though out the album...but it´s not a story, its not The Wall...its more like The Dark side of the moon...I think
"You want me to play what, Robert?"

I think Mr. Fripp had a very clear concept of what the music should be about, which is why I continue to stress that ITCOTCK is the initiation of the true symphonic prog album.
 

But I don't think that's what you mean by it being a concept album, so no it's not a concept album

    
I don't think that "In the court of the Crimson King" is the first "true symph prog album" just because it's longest (save Moonchild) and most renowned song is jazz/fusion with an avant-garde approach (to me at least.)
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity
