I just wrote a large theory on the concept of the hip-hop punk album NINE. Here it is:

If you think about it, NINE could be thought of as one big fat song, shuffled. What it's about is fuzzy; multiple interpretations of the songs exist, like Darkside is either about drugs or a boy in love with a bad girl. But if you were to take it as it's written, it could be about one bad girl, and perhaps NINE's 'chorus' would be Darkside, where it obviously states it. But, The First Time could be them seeing each other for the first time, Darkside could be about them falling in love and the narrator realizing she's as dangerous as American Idiot's Whatsername. Then she leaves and finds him again, starting with Pin The Grenade being her leaving for the first time, I Really Wish I Hated You being his sadness of her leaving, and some more emo shit until we reach On Some Emo Shit where she commits suicide. Heaven is about Travis Barker almost directly witnessing a school shooting, but in the story it could be about her dying through a few metaphors; 'Angel wings at the bus stop, halos left on top of the bar. Heaven doesn't want me, now. Heaven doesn't want me!'

*gasps*

And then there are some miscellaneous songs. A member of blink-182 said to write Happy Days about not giving an eff anymore, so maybe it's who I will now jokingly call Whatsisface learning to let go of this girl, and perhaps Remember To Forget me is sort of like this girl writing him a letter from heaven or giving him a sign that she's doing fine. The miscellaneous songs that don't make sense are mostly Ransom and Blame It On My Youth.

I only have an explanation for Ransom: that his girlfriend turned yandere and kidnapped him to just be with him.
