Well the poll is called PAs top 5 albums, and these are currently the ones occupying the top 5. Simple really.

I have heard four of these. All good albums. Only Pale Communion has not reached my ears.
The Corvus Stone album can be listened here (on their bandcamp page).

Two albums from this list candidate for my top 10 of this year. If I should post it right now, Belighted would be on #6 and L'Enigma della Vita on #7.

So I vote for the Russian outfit. Great album!

IQ. The others don't do much for me, except for Opeth because I haven't given it a listen yet.

Damn!
I wish I had time to listen to everything like I used to. I must make that a rule for 2015. Or is it 16?

I've listened to all 5 and they were all okay but not spectacular.

Pity. It sticks in your head after listening a couple of times per day for a month, if you're willing to spend the time. Oh well, opinions are subjective and we're al entitled to our own. I know, because I can't stand Jon Anderson's voice. Wink

I'm really sorry to read that Wanorak.
No idea if you bought the album but I already know that it takes time to know it. I hope it somehow clicks in the future!

The IQ , Opeth and iamthemorning releases weren't really my thing. Haven't listened to the others; don't know much about them.

Yet you gave it a 4-star rating. I guess an album must be extremely good to match your criteria ;-)

*sigh*

Why do people think that 3* means "this is awful"

I want to give a shout out for Solaris which I personally like better than the current top 5 albums. Can anybody hear me?

I want to give a big shout out for Opeth. LOVE that band and maybe this new one more than most. As for Corvus Stone? Well I find it easy listening. I get a bit bored with music that is the same as but slightly better than or worse than the same thing done 1000 times by others. Only Opeth sound like Opeth to me and that makes them special!

I don't understand why you are angry. Music should be fun, always! It doesn't matter what your music preference is.
 
P.A. is not the only site to check if a band is much liked, it's good for reviews and discover new music, that's it. All you have to do is i.e. check amazon hot new releases and amazon best sellers top albums of all times.
 
This is very silly, really!
