Be selfish not pretentious? Those go hand in hand very, VERY often.

Not to mention his whole rant is pretentious.

I get the idea but I think the statement is a little over the top.
On his side, I've always thought that it's silly to think that every song you write over a period of a year or two will fit into a story or concept.
The feel over form thing makes sense, but if you think that Crack the Skye is more about wankery and space lyrics than emotion, you need a swift backhand to the face.

OK since no one else is asking, who the fuck is Greg Puciato and why should I care what he thinks about concept albums?

Greg's the singer of The Dillinger Escape Plan. I'm guessing that's not going to make his opinion any more valid for you

[Northern_Shaman]

What a stupid fucking opinion.

I don't think it's a shot at BTBAM. I remember talking to him after I saw them last year, and i was wearing a BTBAM shirt, and he said something along the lines of them being a great band or something like that. But then again that was before Parallax II was released obviously.

[Alduin]

didnt he guest on Deconstruction? One of the most over the top prentious concept albums of all time?

[anomynous]

Yes

He was probably drunk, who gives a fuck.
