Anekdoten just over Neal Morse and PT. Another album worth mentioning is Thirteenth Star by Fish. A pretty good year for prog...

FOABP This was a poor year for me. Two of my favourite bands released possibly their worst ever albums (DT and Marillion). I expect there are many great albums that I haven’t listened to of course😂 |

Given what I know you like, try out Circus Maximus: Isolate it's superb and will be right up your street. 2007 was actually a pretty strong year for melodic Prog Metal, very little of which is mentioned here. I'll give you a list if you like, but check this first if you don't know it..

^^ well with respect, I thought you might, but I don't think 'Essex Boy' is as well versed as you and he might want to check them out.
Others I enjoyed that year would be: Threshold: Dead Reckoning Pagan's Mind: God's Equation Suspyre: A Great Divide Deadsoul Tribe: Lullaby Pathosray: Pathosray Amorphis: Silent Waters Nightingale: White Darkness Vanishing Point: Fourth Season Poverty's No Crime: Save My Soul Sun Caged: Artimisia Dominici: O3 Tilogy Pt II Pain Of Salvation: Scarsick Voyager: UniVers There are probably others too, but they've slipped my mind... |

I’m certainly not contesting it either😂 Thanks for the recommendations, there’s plenty from Paul’s list that I don’t know either, I would probably start with Phideaux as that’s a band I feel I would probably like🤞 |

^ Birds and Buildings are a band I'd never heard of before, but their album "Bantam to Behemoth" is the top-rated PA album for 2008. so it'll be interesting to see if anyone votes for it.  As for my vote, with eight 5-star albums to choose from, it's probably going to be a default vote for Mostly Autumn again.

| Think Bantam to Behemoth is one of those albums that would be in a lot of people's Top 5 or 10 without being anyone's single favourite. |

Most of the albums on that Progressive Metal list are lesser-known albums from my point of view, bearing in mind I only know two of those listed albums (by Epica & Nightwish).

1. Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet (Probably the best work of Wilson's band) . . . 2. Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement (Although it is not their best album, all the works of the Poles led by Duda are above 3.5 stars). 3. Fish - 13th Star (When it seemed that he didn't have much more to offer, the Scottish giant surprises with this very good work). 4. Galahad - Empires Never Last (The band's best album) 5. Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura (Spiritual Morse keeps the symphonic spirit of the genre alive with this great album). ------------- Héctor Enrique |

^ still remember being at the Astoria in London after Deadwing had been released when Steven announced they were going to preview their latest work and it was a 20 minute number. Cue rukus applause! He seemed to be embracing the 'prog' thing. Ah those were the days eh?

Kind of a tossup for me between Gazpacho and Galahad here. I think they each probably had their best albums in 2007. I went with Empires Never Last. Not only is it Galahad's best album, its close to a classic Neo-prog album (IMHO). Some brilliant stuff on there! ------------- Z |
