I see Paul giving one star very rarely... unfortunately I don't know that Voivod album. My two big candidates are Cardiacs and Talk Talk (3 stars!). I'll go with Cardiacs (2 stars) this time.

I REALLY don’t get the love for this album, and I have tried hard to like it…

Out Of The Silent Planet gets my vote - fantastic album😎

Surprised that ….And Justice For All is not on this list. It’s prog in my book and epic!!

I guess it's horses for courses mate... when I was younger, I tried really really hard to understand what everyone else saw in Ayreon, until I came to the conclusion that it was god-awful rubbish and moved on..

I wouldn't take it too seriously, the reviewer only listens to the first couple of tracks once while they're doing the housework and if it doesn't immediately chime, they give it a 1 star rating on a public forum... Wink

Quite an eclectic list here. I can understand why you like The Dangers of Strangers, Paul, I do like it too, but it is not up to the better ones here (and of the neo prog of that time, imho). I especially like the Cardiacs, Talk Talk and the Emerson, Berry and Palmer albums here, but I have to go with Queensrÿche's Operation Mindcrime - one of the few prog metal albums that are very high on my lists.

Ah but you see Ayreon is the proverbial dog’s bo****ks in this house (apart from with the wife, obviously)😂😂😂

Yep! That sounds about right. After listening to the first couple of tracks of Voivod's abysmal fourth album I felt as if I was falling into a deep dark void and knew instantly that Voivod were a band to avoid at all costs from now on. It makes Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden album sound like a masterpiece by comparison. As Lewian mentioned earlier, I very rarely hand out 1-star ratings, but I can now add Voivod to the growing list alongside Swans, Therion, Thinking Plague, Robert Wyatt and Frank Zappa. Ouch Thumbs Down Disapprove

Voivod - Dimension Hatross,  not quite expected to be here, nice, but I'll wait for Nothingface  Big smile

Edit : Admittedly, that written before I read your post above, sorry.

I went with Cardiacs' A Little Man and a House and the Whole Windy World over Talk Talk, which is over Devil Doll. I first heard that Devil Doll album when I ran a little The Prisoner forum two decades ago. It's named after a favourite episode of mine.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.
