Well if a concept album worked the first time, then why not do it again i guess. Isn't every album a concept album sort of? Anyway, I am not too sure what the concept is behind 'the fragile', David Carson the designer for the album obviously thought it had something to do with Tulips - but whatever it may be Trent does a pretty decent job of not repeating himself. As with many double albums though you wonder why not get rid of the filler and put out one solid disc. I am sure it pleased many hardcore fans, but for the casual fan you can end up getting somewhat distracted. Still it is a decent musical acheivement.
