New Keepers of the Water Towers - Infernal Machine

This is a concept album based on Joe Haldeman's The Forever War book. I've heard a lot of concept albums and usually find the conceit falls apart quickly, making the music and lyrics forced and awkward. Not so with Infernal Machine. In fact, this is one of the most successful and enjoyable concept albums I've heard, on par with and sometimes besting Pink Floyd's overlong The Wall.
