well, i really enjoyed the story, it's central theme combined with the metaphoric imagery in some songs, like Mother and The Trial. it also comes down to me just enjoying the music more, from Goodbye Blue Sky to Comfortably Numb, it just really clicked with me and was something i could really connect with myself.
plus watching the film really cemented it for me, it gave me something to connect the story with. i still liked the album as much before watching it, mind you, but the movie really helped me in understanding some of the parts on the album and really get the story as a whole.
sure, i understand how people can see the whole thing as overblown and hate it as opposed to their previous work, but for me this was an album that just clicked with me, i can't really explain it further than that
