I love concept albums. My favorites include: Pain Of Salvation - Be and the rest of PoS, Shadow Gallery - Room V, Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray, Neal Morse - One and a lot of others which I don't remember right now.
I don't need prog metal recommendations since I know most of it and would like to hear something else than that. Even though my favorites include a lot of prog metal albums, I don't consider it such a good genre. Thanks for the help! |

Scenes from a memory:Dream theater. its great from start to finish, and although the plot is kinda corney, it will ocuppy a lot of time trying to figure it out, if you try to do it yourself instead of going online and looking it up ------------- I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t. -Stone Beard |
