I'm trying to do justice to some other albums I enjoy of this period, same idea as the other poll, choose "other" if you dislike my options, don't abuse it only because it's there. |

A vote for Sieges Even, but a tough choice with Muse and Pain of Salvation. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Where is The Mars Volta?  I guess I'd chose Frances The Mute, otherwise it's either The Power To Believe or Second Life Syndrome. |

I'll go for Second Life Syndrome, which is miles the best on the list. The only competitors would be The Last Bright Light (Mostly Autumn) Or IQ's Dark Matter. All three are spectacularly good. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I'm not a fan of prog-metal, usually, but Second Life Syndrome is my choice from the list. From the "others", the first that come to my mind are "La Novia" by Acid Mothers Temple, "Liquid" by 35007 and "Apsaras" by Alio Die and Amelia Cuni. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

| Went with Deadwing, second in the trilogy of great PT efforts. But, not an easy choice; Damnation is my favorite Opeth offering, and KC's Power to Believe is not bad either. |

I voted for Pimp Your Jimmy Mits. Could just as easily have gone for PT or if I was in a really good mood after having bought some abstract sneakers and a pair of peanutbutter glasses, then maybe Dredg. Triangle is a wonderful tune! ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

| No contest for me: (). I can't say it's a perfect album - its biggest problem is that it's too long; drop a few songs, and it gets tighter. But this has some of Sigur Ros's best tracks, and the first 5 songs or so are perfect. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVsKqzHdApo" rel="nofollow - Other. (Actually, I do not dislike the bands on the list (on contrary), though, I think that Terje Rypdal with Lux Aeterna did do a slightly better album than all of other bigs from the list. Thanks for understanding).

Went for other. In Absentia and Field Day are both better than these, but there's tons of great albums on the list. Skinny Fists has to be my fave from here

Apologies Cristi - my brain has gone into meltdown! From these - Riverside would just pip Porcupine Tree

considering how unpopular progressive metal has become around here, I did not put many. But you are right, yours are good choices Symphony X - you mean to say - V - The New Mythology Suite, right?  |

Sieges Even, The Art of Navigating by the Stars.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |
