Best Sylvan disc

Originally posted by The Doctor Posthumous Silence is a masterpiece.  Although I also like Presets and Artificial Paradise quite a bit as well.  Don't care much for Deliverance though.  It seems like a rather dull imitation of Fish-era Marillion.  A couple of decent songs, but it's not an album that holds together very well for me.  Posthumous, Artificial and Presets are all excellent IMO, but PS is the best of the bunch.      I forgot that I said almost the very same thing 6 months ago in this same thread.  Must be old age or alcohol abuse.

same here....  both I guess...

can't believe Secrets of the Beehive or Brilliant Trees isn't an option... haven't heard those albums.  Need to explore more of this albums...

Posthumous Silence

I've downloaded their 4 most recent albums from eMusic and so far I really enjoy their sound.  I thought these were their only 4 since that is all that eMusic has listed.  I will have to track down Deliverance and Encounters.  Listening to Plane of  Truth right now from PS,  very nice guitar solo.  I also really like their singer's voice.  I guess I might say that I highly recommend this band to those rare prog fans out there like me who like their prog to be somewhat more accessible.

I got Deliverance a long time ago and didn't think much of it at the time.  I thought it was for the most part a fairly bland early Marillion ripoff.  I ignored the band until Posthumous Silence came out and I heard great things about it.  I absolutely loved that album.  Since then I've heard Presets, which I also think is a brilliant album, X-Rayed and Artificial Paradise.  Both are decent efforts, but no match for their latest two.  I've recently gone back and listened to Deliverance again, thinking that maybe I would have a different feeling about it after hearing more of their stuff.  Nope.  Still think it's a fairly bland early Marillion ripoff.  But they have gotten so much better with time.

I should be getting both Artificial Paradise and Encounters in the mail tomorrow. Taking into consideration that it's gotten a lot of votes, I'm spinning AF first.
