Not defined to the actual Progressive Metal genre, Experimental/Post-Rock and such included. 

Was just curious what are some of everyone favorite prog metal albums, seeing i can be very picky with my metal. 

I'll give 5 for now.. No order.

Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Cynic - Traced in Air
Arcane - Chronicles of the Waking Dream
Deafheaven - Sunbather
Intronaut - Valley of Smoke
Crushed like a rose in the riverflow.

I mean to listen to OM again. I listened to it once and liked it, but I couldn't get the full effect because my dad heard it from my headphones and started making fun of it.

Great to see that one get a mention... have you heard Vision Divine's 'Stream of Consciousness'? it's surprisingly good and certainly for MK fans...
