So many missing…

Born This Way, Norman F***ing Rockwell, Golden Hour, Melodrama, Folklore

Born This Way is not a concept album. I think Melodrama is but I could be wrong.

Idk what qualifies as a concept album. It's such a nebulous term. Most artists would probably call their albums concept albums because there's always some sort of theme that's running throughout the process.

i think it both has a theme, of course, and a story that connects the songs

Kate Bush's Ninth Wave (the second part of Hounds of Love) would have been on top of the list had she released it separately :bradley:

how they define a "concept" album? like Lemonade? like, cohesive?  i'm confused

isn't CHROMATICA a concept album? with it's interludes and such?
