IQ.
Half of Road of Bones made me go "Aw yeah, this is awesome", and the other half made me go "This is nice, but not overly special", but that still puts it above Mind. Cannot. Remember., since listening to Road of Bones it feels like they put heart, soul, and effort into more than just the first two tracks.

Both are quite superb, but the IQ album is just astonishing.
I also think that Steve Rothery's The Ghosts of Pripyat is an album which is quite remarkable.

I agree on both points.

I voted Hand. Cannot. Erase. but neither (would) make my year-end Top 20.

For me, easy call - Hand. Cannot. Erase.

IQ for sure, but I'm sure Hand. Cannot. Erase. will grow on me like Road of Bones did soon. Don't think I'll buy a copy though...

IQ without question, and I actually like SWilson's new release.

i voted for "The Road of Bones" because, personally, i really do expect much more from new Wilson's cd, while "The Road of Bones" is a stunning cd IMO.

Both albums are good, but not as good as their ratings would suggest (in my humble opinion). I think the Road of Bones is better, just a bit...
