Hmmmmm... yeah Concept album + not so good lyrics = not so good album...
But it sounds as if its more of a thematic approach than actual concept piece like Sweet_Nothing was saying...
Concept albums are indeed difficult pull off for even the most creative artists... Witness the flaws all through Genesis' Lamb Lies Down on Broadway... great album by the way... but a very convoluted, garbled story that required alot of liner notes to unpack and even then it was wanting for some commonsense and feasible plot...
Apparently Gabriel wrote the story / lyrics rather hurriedly and under alot of family / band pressure and tension...
