The band members describe it as a "debate between two contradictory pillars of 20th C. Anti-Humanism: The Futurists versus the Unabomber." The tracks flow into each other to create a continuous musical journey like DSotM.
Pretty high-concept stuff, but with a fantastic sense of humour. Probably the best moment is 'The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity Opens the Discussion', in which mother nature declares war on humanity:
Eaters of the soil take us into the ground
Death by worm!
Eaters of the air drive us from the blue
Death by sparrow!
Eaters of the sea take us into the green
Death by eel!
Eaters of the scraps take in our beds
Death by dog!
Eaters of the soil take us into the ground
Death by sand!
Eaters of the air drive us from the sky
Death by flower!
Eaters of the green take us into the sea
Death by water!
Eaters of the scraps take us in out beds
Death by stone!
[silence]
Death by silence!

Of course I'm here to Kamelot this thread up a bit.
A two-part concept album based loosely on the German play, Faust. Basically the main character, Ariel, makes a deal with the devil Mephisto (not really a devil, but a pretty deceptive archangel) in which if Mephisto grants him any wish or power than Ariel owes him his soul in death.
It's more complicated than that, but that's the general premise.

Sgt peppers isn't much of a concept album, after the beginning of With A Little Help the rest of the songs until the reprise have nothing to do with each other. But still, Sgt Peppers.

Out of this list, Sgt. Pepper's for fuck's sake, none of the others can even compete. But seriously, I wouldn't consider a concept album...
Best concept album? You might shoot this one down, but In Rainbows. I don't care what you say, it's definitely a concept album. 01 & 10. It was totally made to compliment OKC.
But not including that, Hospice! 😁

There is some sense there, but ultimately, it is a concept album.
More or less, the albums is based off of a band (Lonely Hearts Club) playing a concert (lead singer Billy Shears) and the 'concert' is the theme of the album.
It's a bit vague, and the concept is pretty much just the concept of 'making music'.
Now, for the poll.
Am I voting for the best album, or the best concept? 🤔 Because I have 2 different answers for those questions.
