I wouldn't bring it up because I have no idea how it is a concept album. Maybe I'm just not listening close enough. What is the concept?
Elysiana:
It's the story of a serial killer, through his eyes, beginning with his childhood and ending sometime during his marriage. I think PT has never come out and called it a concept album but it's pretty well accepted as one.

Didn't see any of these:
This Heat - Deceit
Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind
Current 93 - Sleep Has His House
Dome - Dome 2
Univers Zéro - Heresie
The Olivia Tremor Control - Black Foliage Animation Music
Venetian Snares - Doll Doll Doll
Henry Cow - In Praise of Learning
Flux Of Pink Indians - The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks
Coil - Musick to Play in the Dark, Vol. 1
Diamanda Galas - Plague Mass
Crass - Yes Sir, I Will
Brian Eno - Discreet Music
Einstürzende Neubauten - Stahlmusik
I'm not going to count any recordings of Alvin Lucier, if only because they are technically "classical pieces", though I Am Stting In A Room is one of the most extreme stretches of a single idea in recording history.
Some of these are fairly loosely held together, but all have something that they are, crucially, oriented around as a concept.
Anyway, as you were.
P.S. To the indie kids: If you like Neutral Milk Hotel's second album so damn much, why do you seem to stridently ignore On Avery Island? It is, at very least, an equally good album, and at points just as worthy of needless over-analysis!
