Though it was written by front man Ian Anderson, the album was a musical adaptation of poems from the mind of a fictional 8-year-old. Jethro Tull intended this album to be a joke on bands earning on vogue albums at the time, but it seems most us missed the joke. De-Loused In The Comatorium – The Mars Volta [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1024"] image courtesy: https://phxsux.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/good3-1024x576.jpg[/caption] "Deloused in the Comatorium" has to be the goriest of all albums on this list. Cedric Bixler-Zavla and Jeremy Micheal Ward came together to write a short story that inspired this musical adaptation. Hitting metal charts in 2003, the album followed a story of a man in coma from a morphine overdose and ingestion of rat poison. Metropolis Pt. 2 (Scenes From a Memory) – Dream Theater [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1024"] image courtesy: http://freewallpapersstock.com/download/123308/1024x576/40273_dream_theater_band_room_chairs_hair_7541_2560x1600-1024x576-c.jpg[/caption] I don’t think it’s possible to talk about concept albums without talking about Dream Theater. The band created few of the most complex music arrangements to exist in history; not to mention their immense lyrical content and repetitive themes. Metropolis 2 is the sequel that follows the story of the man who finds his past life, and to this day is a fan favourite and their most critically acclaimed work.
