AS THE WORLD

Wow, highly underrated here. This is one of my favorite modern prog albums. These guys always focus on the song first, and are great at writing dynamic tunes. Their choice of chords is interesting too, often alternating between jazzy off-kilter chords and pretty melodic ones. They're also very heavy on the syncopation and weird time signatures but they still manage to make it extremely catchy. Some of the highlights are As the World, Uncle, How Long I Have Waited, The Cheese Stands Alone, and One for the Show. This is a great unknown modern band and if you like melodic, catchy, complex, eclectic rock music then you should give these guys a try.
