Is it too early for this poll? I don't care. Choose.

This is better than IaFA in my opinion, and that was a top 5 album ever for me.

I have heard it yet.

By track titles I'm voting In The Mind of the Last Whale.

If you don't know the name of the band, you probably have no need to be participating in the poll.

The weakest song on the album!LOL But that's only cause it's an atmospheric track, like Silence 011010701.

OK, I found it, but I´ve thought it´s fairness to mention this one in the first post.

Still the best song by my criterion.

I've only heard Fables once so far but "In The Mind Of The Last Whale" actually stood out the most for me and I really liked it. Of course, it doesn't sound like the other songs. I don't like the production as much as I did on IAFA.

After the first couple of listens I'll say Unfed Pendulum. Very good album and I think I might agree with you DP, better than ...Aquarium.

Plus, I just got the hard copy in the post today, about a month and half ahead of when I thought I'd get it with the postage I paid!Big smile
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I voted Unfed Pendulum as well.

At first listen, I thought IaFA was better, but this album sure grew on me fast.

Amazing album...hard to pick a track. Each one has so many little sections, so much going on. I'm listening track by track carefully to make an attempt to pick, but it's going to be hard.
 
Do you think something bad might happen to me from listening to this on repeat?
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
