Better go for "In This Life" first. It's more cohesive. You can't go wrong with this band, though.
If you'll like TP,similiar groups like: Ahvak, 5uu's and Science Group will be very recommended for you. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/cichyczlowiek/?chartstyle=SilverWeekly">

They are all good, but I second the recommendation to start with In This Life. The live album Upon Both Your Houses would also make an excellent starting point.
The latest, A History of Madness, is a bit different, more understated and subtle, and I wouldn't recommend it as a starter. ------------- http://www.progreviews.com/">

I find "In Extremis" a powerful, perfect album, a lot of it is
performed live on "In This Life", and the presence of Bob Drake on bass and vocals (like an updated Chris Squire gone beserk) adds a lot...he's also on a few 5uu albums. Also highly recommended is Hamster Theater's "Carnival Detournement", it also has a lot of musicians from Plague, notably genius guitarist Mike Johnson, and multi-instrumentalist Dave Willey. You can find this and some 5uu albums, also U Totem on www.cuneiformrecords.com. |

Excellent band, as are the other recommended bands. Both "In This Life" and "In Extremis" are good places to start off. I personally started with "In Extremis". |
