Oh, I'll have to change that on my iTunes then.... Yes, I really like Frames, but I think 4 is my rating for it. I thought 4 stars was excellent? |

I knew I'd forget a couple (Riverside and Galahad). I also put Fish and Marillion as a tie because I really can't pick out which one I like better. 13th Star is Fish's best in a very long time.
For 2007 so far: Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura Fish - 13th Star (tie) Marillion - Somewhere Else (tie) Rush - Snakes And Arrows Iona - The Circling Hour The Flower Kings - The Sum Of No Evil Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet Magic Pie - Circus Of Life Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement Sylvan - Presets Glass Hammer - Culture Of Ascent Shadow Circus - Welcome To The Freakroom Kaipa - Angling Feelings The Puppet Show - The Tale Of Woe Blind Ego - Mirror Circa - 2007 Knight Area - Under A New Sign Amaran's Plight - Voice In The Light Galahad - Empires Never Last Blackfield - Blackfield II Pain Of Salvation - Scarsick Starcastle - Song Of Times E Edited by E-Dub - November 11 2007 at 10:58 |

Unfortunately, YNDIes' EP is from 2006. If it would bt from 2007, I'd have no problems with defining The Album of the Year  UPD: wait, you gave only 4 stars to Frames?

Strong contestant for album of the year for me is the new Manes album!
It's one of the most original albums of the year I've heard so far.

I haven't listened to too many albums from this year, but this is about how I'd rank them, I have a tie for first at the moment:
1. Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet (4.5) 1. Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement (4.5) 3. Oceansize - Frames (4) 4. Porcupine Tree - Nil Recurring (4) 5. Blackfield - Blackfield II (3.5) 6. Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos (3) 7. Abigail's Ghost - Selling Insincerity (2-2.5, not too impressed by this one) I haven't listened to Yndi Halda enough to rank it. If I could include non-prog albums, Chevelle's Vena Sera (4) would be third. |
