Man, many great albums here.  2011 was indeed a wonderful year for prog!
My vote, as usual, is for A Tower Of Silence.
#2, not listed here, has to be Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving - Deaden The Fields.
ACR: Do you know this one?  Another Aussie band.

Tough call between Unexpect and Leprous from these, went with Unexpect, though White Willow's Terminal Twilight and Fen's Epoch are a step above both and easily the best two albums of 2011.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I love nearly all of these, but Grace for Drowning is one of my favorite albums of all time. Listened to it today, in fact. My choice is easy.

My actual number 1 is an album by a not very well known Australian band called Chaos Divine, but Haken are a close second, so I'll give them a vote here.

A weak year in my opinion, nothing blew my mind.

I went with The Tangent this time.

2011 was a brilliant year for modern prog. I picked Grace for Drowning, but here's a brief list of my other favorites..

1. Grace for Drowning
2. Snowtorch
3. Visions
4. A Dramatic Turn of Events
5. Heritage
I consider drone metal to be progressive...

I was looking for Karmakanic and Mars Hollow, maybe even Yes' album from 2011... but from this list (and maybe in retrospect, having lived with these records for the past couple of years), I choose Grace for Drowning.

Beardfish takes this one for me, maybe Haken in second. I didn't think 2011 was that great to be honest, 2012 was much better.

This is almost too hard to call.
Phideaux gets my vote by a whisker, but there are so many fantastic albums on this list.
