If you'd ask me, there are a lot of bands focussed on the Dream Theater like metalprog genre. There were periods where 60% of the new reviews on the homepage of PA were about metalprog records. Since I don't like this subgenre I too thought this wasn't a good year for prog.
 
However... my focus is still on the magical '69-'76 period!

Yet most reviews are of older bands here. Besides, theres an ever increasing number of PM bands that sound nothing like Dream Theater, take a look, you might find something you like.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Okay, how about this for a theory:

People on PA use PA as a tool when buying albums.
The top lists are the easiest way to use PA when making album choices.
The threshold of 25 reviews makes it harder to enter the list.
Fewer albums on the list makes people buy fewer albums,
and thus fewer albums are reviewed by PA members.

In sum: You are all being assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Agreed with the last point. I find there's a few 2008 albums that I've enjoyed the samples of but that I just can't seem to find anywhere. Birds and Buildings is the recent one, I thought it sounded great from the sample cut that's up there but it's not on Amazon or eBay anywhere. I suppose I have to search for less mainstream online distributors, perhaps.
if you own a sodastream i hate you
