I find that if there's a major theme running through an album, just like any other piece of work, it seems to be more cohesive and well-thought-out, rather than pretentious. stronger, more consistent. like a real piece of work, just like if you were to put together a book of various authors' work, short stories or something, they should all relate to each other. different peoples' perspectives on the war in iraq, or the vietnam war, or more broadly war in general could make a book. not allen ginsberg's thoughts on sex and hunter thompson's thoughts on the american dream and timothy leary's thoughts on drugs and ann coulter's thoughts on religion all rolled into one. that doesn't make sense. no flow.
concept albums are like it has a purpose rather than being a jumble of shit cobbled together. however there are some really terrible concept albums out there. you've got to back it up with the music.
