@boo boo+Urban Hatemonger:

I agree with you both 100% in that they are very hit or miss. With many factors including the bands credibility, subject matter, etc...

Then as you mentioned there is always the concept albums like those of the power metal bands in which the subject matter is just so god damned cheesy it is hard to regard to some of it as music/art at all.

I think a bands image (as boo boo pointed out with Greenday) has GREATLY to do with them getting away with making a good concept album.

My question to both of you though is what of the electronic music in which this happens? There are TONS of psychedelic trance, house, etc, where there is a "concept" throughout the album. And often ridiculous topics such as Earth being invaded and such.
