I don't necessarily agree, as I think a number of those songs have independent meanings which don't relate to your theory. (Eg Psychopomp seems to be about Death (or an underworld spirit) paying a visit to a man who lived his life to excess and is now paying the ultimate price).
But I still love the rock opera theory. And I suppose songs can take on different meanings in different contexts, so the idea of the rock opera isn't completely discredited even if the songs have different meanings outside the context of the rock opera story.

I honestly odn;t know what this song was supposed to mean by itself. But i think that Transmission may have been a rock opera.
Temptation - (Intro to the night)
Army Ants - (A slight warning of how the night shall end.... confusion)
Psychopomp - (She starting to regret what is going on, but he is pressuring her to continue)
Gyroscope - (She's in a different world, one that's he's been in before, but she can't cope)
Alarum - (Uh-oh)
Release - (Coming to the hard decision of what he must do...Call for help and potentially have jail time, or leave her to die)
Transmission - (um..... 911... and trying to understand what to do, while fried off his gourd)
Babylon - (His and her Temptation has brought them to Babylon.... a bad night... their own created hell)
Pulse - (Things get worse.... as he waits for help, she's slipping away into death.)
Emerald - (Help arrives, but consiqence is now his problem, as she is off to the hospital, he is relieved, but not in the best way)
Aftermath - (Pretty self explanatory, both title and lyrics)
