Keeping in mind that gimmicks are not inherently bad, what are some gimmick-based albums that are genuinely good?

NOTIR. You're supposed to put it all in a single folder or playlist and play it on shuffle with a crossfade between tracks. Like a roguelike. It works really perfectly since you can't tell what's an intro, outro, skit, or proper dong. They made "expansion packs" for it too, but that's just a little too much for my taste.

This is really good, they have really good songwriting within hardcore and punk. Plus the gimmick is well used and lots of hardcore/punk bands have something that they use in constant imagery. have some 90's basketball themed hardcore

It came with a booklet containing spoopy backstory to the album.
And yes, I think for one of the songs he put a bag on his head and "played" piano. The bag is involved with the story in the booklet.
