| Riverside for me |

For me it's the other way around. These are my two favourite bands after Rush. These two bands have released studio albums the same year 4 times, with 2007 being the last time that happened. Three times in the 90's as well. FOABP was a tough nut to crack for yours truly, and it wasn't until hearing this album performed live in Toronto that it clicked. I don't have much to add other than maybe Mar De Robles from Chile and their "Indigena" record. King Crimson heavy that one. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

My vote goes to the most obvious pick.  |

I don't know what that would be here.

I'm guessing Porcupine Tree.

I've never been a big fan of FOABP, I don't even know why, after all it's not a bad album. So it was not the obvious choice for me in any way. I need to re-visit when i have the time. So much music, so little time.

A very strong advantage of Porcupine Tree over the other albums listed!  |
Posted By: Cristi
Date Posted: December 03 2024 at 02:02
Well, it's the least metal album here, so got most votes from those who embrace the genre the least.

I'm really surprised I'm the only person who voted for Symph X... incredibly strong album which received a LOT of love here back in 2007.. it's even behind Systematic Chaos! ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

It' s most likely because many prog fans - including me - are much more familiar with Porcupine Tree than Symphony X.

You are right. And it is a better album then Systematic Chaos indeed.

3.80 for SX / 3.33 for DT I think Paradise Lost and V are probably their two most consistent albums ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

They never released a bad album. Even their debut is good, if Russel sang on it, it would be considered a classic.
