I've been looking through the 2009 albums here on PA and there's not a lot that has cought my attention, with Wobbler's Afterglow Pain of Salvation's Ending Themes DVD (which I now have) the only real exceptions and. We are now half way through March and I cant help but wander when the good stuff gets here, buy this time last year we already had The Mars Volta, Dark Suns, The Tangent and probably several others that I cant quite remember.

I know there's a lot of quality to come but does anyone else feel that its been a slow start to the year?
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Well, things might be slow now but they won't stay that way. Four Devin Townsend albums, a Dream Theater one, a Porcupine Tree one (I heard perhaps a double album at that), a Pain of Salvation one, and a bunch more I can't be bothered to think of at the moment... Plus, you've forgotten the 2009 release that's easily taken the lead slot already, the Umphrey's McGee album Mantis.

I'm quite satisfied with the releases so far - except for the usual difficulties in acquiring some of the albums. But if they don't want me to listen to their music ... so be it!Tongue

The year might be off to a slow start, but it'll pick up. Things like this change from year to year.

I think 2008 had a slower start and a very impetuous finish.

2009 started well - and with many things to virtually choose from.

Yeah, probably a slow start. Only Barbares by Nemo is something special up to here!Sleepy

I really want to give Barbares a listen, but I haven't been able to yet. Also, I count Insurgentes as 2008, despite the goofy general release.

Check the PM calendar Andy.
 
I reckon you would like the Forgotten Suns, Daedalus and Hourglass albums at the very least! Big smile

Another Umphrey's McGee Mantis shout...I'd also like to hear the Nemo album. I need to find a place to sample it. Sadly, no itunes for them yet.
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.

I'll second that one (Mantis).  My only 2009 so far and if doesn't prove to be the best new thing I've heard, 2009 will shape up to be a very good year.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Might be a slow start for prog, but for music in general I'd say no way:
 
Animal Collective
Andrew Bird
Cursive
Bell Orchestre
If These Trees Could Talk
 
And a couple of so-so's:
Irepress
Trail of Dead
 
Next Week:
Mono
Mastodon
The Decemberists

Also, Merriweather Post Pavillion and Insurgentes are indeed excellent. Last year was a bit of a letdown for music overall, especially when compared to the stellar '07.

You think '09 started slow? I already have some albums that were released this year, though i didn't checked em all.

I am really anxious about Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Between the Buried and Me and both Phideaux albums. I just hope Phideaux have this time a fair fight, because he sure should have won back in 07, but 99.999999999% of everyone in this site knows Steven Wilson & friends and who the hell is Phideaux anyway, right?

Woa, I had no idea there was a new Bell Orchestre album out this year.
I have to listen to that one!
I hope the Pysopus one kicks butt too.
