https://thehardtimes.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Queens-final-scaled.jpg25601345The term "concept album" can be confusing. Sometimes it implies that there is a narrative story told through a collection of songs, similar to a rock opera. It could also mean there is a core idea or theme tying the album together. And sometimes it can refer to an entire discography, like every Queens of the Stone Age album. The concept remains the same every time a new record drops: let's go do some drugs in the desert.
