How are concept albums (in general) pretentious?
I just don't get that....
...
Also, if Sonic Youth titled BMR as a concept album, then it would be so.
If you can find a reason in your own mind to call it a concept album with whatever theme you interpret for the album, then once again, you could consider it a "CA".
With that said, I think the answer really can be determined by each listener's idea of the album.
It's the same idea as coming up with an explanation for a piece of absract art. That's how I see it.
