oh, i guess i was thinking of a "concept album" in a looser way. Not so much storytelling as the all the songs having a common theme and narrative. if you see what i mean. :)

I agree with most people in here, Tusk isn't really a concept-album. It could never really be with 3 different writers..

Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway..that's a concept-album! great stuff...

I don't think Tusk is anything along the lines of The Wall,Tommy, or Ziggy Stardust in any way, shape or form, so apparently it is not a concept album. It is very experimental (by Fleetwood Mac's standards) though.
