Cheers,

I would call albums new idea or the first of a kind a "concept" album. Such as "Pet Sounds" by the Beach Boys, or "Sargent Peppers" by the Beatles.

What I meant are albums that are stories or opera, like "Tommy" by the Who, which also could be considered a concept album, since it was the the first "rock opera" (I could be wrong, but it was the first rock opera that I remember)..
"Quadrophenia" by the Who would be story album, but not a concept album, since the idea had been done before with Tommy.
