Well with a new Jethro Tull, Rush, and DT coming out it could be really good by the summer. The new Lamb of God is really good too. Somewhat slow start, but looks promising.

Don't forget Indukti and OSI.
=)
I'm extremely excited for Nils on guest vocals on the Indukti album. The sample song on their myspace sounds awesome.
I also have very high expectations for OSI with Gavin Harrison on drums.

^ How is it? I haven't purchased Frusciante solo albums in the past - I wouldn't want to listen to an hour of guitar noodling.

Oh, it's so much more than druggy guitar noodling: beautiful orchestrations, excellent songwriting, some great scorching solos (there is one by Johnny Marr sounding a lot like Fripp), very tasteful use of electronics and a simply overwhelming feel of "mellow majesty" throughout. I know, my description sound like drivel, but the album is really, really worth it, IMO.

^ maybe I'll get it! If you think it's prog you can also tag and rate it at PF ... that way it will also appear on the ProgRadar feed (see my shamelessly plugging thread in the GTWO section).

thanks for the band Dark Suns! They remind me of Tool. But I am only on the first song!

^Tool? Really! I thought more like Opeth and Pain of Salvation. Excellent all the same. Ironic that I started this thread recently since it seems the years about to step up a gear. We had the PoS DVD last week, Mastodon next week, Wobbler I think will be available generally the week after that and IQ not long after that.

I think we have come to a conclusion:
2009 is not off to a slow start.
A quick look on the internet reveals there is already a big number of new 2009 releases.

The new Mastodon album is a BEAST!

Indeed, IQ's Frequency will be with us soon. I have heard versions of 3 of the new songs (there's 7 on the new album) and they all sound great, particularly Stronger Than Friction, which blew my socks off when I saw them live late last year.

Yeah that's a great album
Overall it has been a slow start but besides Nemo I really like the new one from Giant Squid and Pandora...or was that last year
