  • @bbchronicles736
    @bbchronicles736 Місяць тому

    Great job! Always so great to hear what you pick as the best of the year. I made a concerted effort to listen to more new albums this year and can say that, except for some of those near the bottom end of the top 50, I listened to just about every album you mentioned. And, as usual, many of your picks I agree with wholeheartedly, but many others, not at all. And I have to say that there were more that I disagreed with this year than in previous years, but that's how it goes (to each his own). Some in your top ten would not even make my top 50 (Greep, The Smile, Ellesmere, Opeth), but mostly, a great list. Great to see Link/Nesmith's Arcana get mentioned in the top 25, as it was one of my very favorites (top 5). But surprised to see Barock Project not make the top 25 (it was my absolute fave of the year). Albion's Lakeongs of the Elbid was another of my favorites that you didn't mention and that hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. Some others that will make my list but did not make yours include the albums from The Pineapple Thief, Kite Parade, Cen-Projekt, Azure, Mandoki Soulmates, and a few others, and where was the album from your Myth of Logic buddy? I'm still in the process of compiling my full list, but here is roughly what my top 15 are right now:
    15.Joe Deninzon and Stratospheerius - Imposter!
    14. Beardfish - Songs For Beating Hearts
    13. The Pineapple Thief - It Leads to This
    12. Neil Morse and The Resonance - No Hill For a Climber
    11. Ritual - The Story of Mr. Bogd Part 1
    10. Versa - A Voyage A Destination Part 2
    9. Oddleaf - Where Ideal and Denial Collide
    8. IZZ - Collapse the Wave
    7. Rosalie Cunningham - To Shoot Another Day
    6. Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks - True
    5. Albion - Lakesongs of the Elbid
    4. Cloud Cult - Alchemy Creek (OK, maybe not Prog, but kind of Symphonic folk prog, and brilliant)
    3. Circe Link and Christian Nesmith - Arcana
    2. Big Big Train - The Likes of Us
    1. Barock Project - Time Voyager (Best album I heard all year)

  • @SomniRespiratoryFlux
    @SomniRespiratoryFlux Місяць тому +1

    As always, your top albums of the year list feels more like a list to check out since I haven't heard most of them, but I'll have to listen to some of them soon here! The ones here I did know were Life in the Wires (really fantastic album, still think I slightly prefer Milliontown and Falling Satellites but it's hard to go wrong with any Frost* release) and Wheels Within Wheels (first time hearing Meer and holy cow did some of those vocals blow me away, really exciting band there, glad I took the dive off of your recommendation there). Other albums you didn't mention even in your top 50 that I liked... Both Caligula's Horse and Myrath had early favorites, I don't think either quite reached the heights of prior albums but were still solid early year favorites. And in the "maybe not the most capital P Prog but I still count it" space, there's the new album from Simone Simons featuring Arjen Lucassen, I'm a sucker for anything he touches and when I listened to it for the first time just yesterday I really dug what I was hearing. But my two albums I think might have to be battling for the top spot are the new Leprous album, Melodies of Atonement (it took a bit for the second half or so of the album to grow on me but it really grew on me) and the new Nightwish album, Yesterwynde (was a bit skeptical because their last album kind of didn't do much for me, but this one really worked). ...Maybe that list is showing my more metal side a bit but ah well.

    Great list as usual Scott. I have to admit, and maybe you dont find them as Prog, but I expected The Cures newest album Songs Of A Lost World in the list. To me they wax Prog, but not everyone may feel that way. If you have not heard it yet, I highly recommend it to you. It is my album of the year beating all genres releases. On a side note as I know you like stuff outside of the Prog world, not sure if you like The Breeders, but Kim Deal (native to you in Ohio), released a solo album out of nowhere 2 weeks back. I honestly didnt expect this and even more so it grabbed a hold of me so fast that I can honestly say it somehow is my second fav this year in releases, which we were blessed with so many great albums.

    5. Big Big Train - The Likes of Us
    4. Monkey 3 - Welcome to the Machine
    3. The Flying Norsemen. I thought you might had them in the top 50. I'm a huge fan of Arabs in Aspic. Couldn't wait to spin TFN.
    2. Neal Morse - No hill for a Climber. Would have been my number 1, however.
    1. Opeth - The Last Will and Testament and absolute perfect 5 out 5 for me. Complete masterpiece.
    Can't wait to listen to some of your picks I haven't heard yet. Love the Prog corner man, keep it up.

    A mention for Herin’s, “Hiding in Plain Sight”, which is about his father who suffered from Alzheimers.
    Airbag put out a sonically interesting album.

Weather Systems - Ocean 3. Pure Reason Revolution - Coming up to Consciousness 2. Opeth - Last Will 1. Ritual - Mr Bogd. so a fair degree of overlap but I can't get into Mr Greep.
