The Good
This is one of the greatest albums ever recorded.  Ok, so that is a bold statement, but this really is fantastic.  Many times a concept album will sacrifice the songs for the story, or vice versa, but not here.  You have a disillusioned guy who falls in with the wrong people.  After a couple of people get murdered, our hero ends up in custody without his memory.  Did he really commit the murders?

Really, you should already have this.  But if by some accident you don't, get it now!

The Bad
I have nothing to say here.

The Packaging
You get the lyrics so you can follow along with the story.  But really, does it matter?

Bottom Line
This is the album by which all concept albums should be judged.
