why isn't this your AOTY?
who?
>>61046364
Because there was better prog this year like Steven Wilson, Anekdoten, Riverside and Leprous
isnt it a musical? thats what the one song I heard sounded like.
>>61046364
because its not 2009 and thats not Act III
>>61046364
enjoyed a few of the songs, need to listen to the whole thing in order to really care tho
that said the album art is fucking awesome
>>61046528
Agreed, one of my favorite album artworks of all time.
>>61046409

>>61046364
Pic related is my AOTY. Act IV is definitely up there, though. I think it has a few very weak tracks that keep it from being fantastic (which is true for all their albums imo).
>>61046409
Steven Wilson is overrated and derivative.
>>61046411
It's a concept album (part of a series), so there's a story.
>>61046420
Act II was better.
>>61046528
The art is good.
>>61046409
All those albums were disappointments, with Anekdoten being the least disappointing.
Riverside was nothing short of unmitigated bullshit.
>>61046409
get that Riverside shit out of here
>>61046623
There's nothing wrong with being derivative
>>61046409
>>61046633; that's not to excuse this band, by the way. I've never really liked them. The Grand Astoria, Lord Montague, Blastar, The NErve Institute, and Magma all put out better things.
>>61046364
Because I haven't heard it yet. I've downloaded it but i'm yet to hear it.
>>61046654
Cardiacs, Gentle Giant and Magma :^)

>>61046646
What the fuck is wrong with you
Why am I even trying to discuss prog with a group of faggots like this
>>61046650
I should have said that it's too derivative. Obviously all modern progressive rock is going to be heavily influenced by prog from the 70s, but Wilson's solo work seems like direct copies of King Crimson and Yes (although the production is better). I think Porcupine Tree had a distinct feel, and I really liked it.

>>61046686
Riverside's album was fucking terrible. You're the faggot.
>>61046704
You are fucking terrible, name better prog albums from this year
>>61046677
Listen to that shit senpai
>>61046364
but it is anon
>>61046722
Pretty much all of them, even the disappointments.
The Grand Astoria - The Mighty Few
Serious Beak - Ankaa
Sospetto - Quattro Specchi Opachi
Octopie - The Adventures of Harry and Walrus Kane
Cave of Swimmers - Reflection
Anekdoten - Until All the Ghosts Are Gone
Lord Montague - The Cave
LordFish - s/t
Dreadnaught - Gettin' Tight with Dreadnaught
Blastar - s/t
The Nerve Institute - Fictions
Some big name disappointments were better than Riverside's diarrhea too, including Enslaved's schlock, and Steven Wilson's very meh output.
And Baroness's Purple is shaping up to be pretty good based off the singles.
>>61046789
saw them live in September and it was awesome. They've been my favorite band since I saw them on Attack of The Show in like 2011
You're all fags
>>61046842
that's a good album too
>>61046842
bit long desu
>>61046364
The Dear Hunter is one of the worst bands of our time.
>>61046931
that seems like a bit of an exaggeration family
>>61046931
That's a fairly bold claim. Is there any reason in particular you feel that way?
Casey needs to realize that he could be the next danny elfman and stop wasting his time with the dear hunter. The first 3 acts were good but he needs to move on
>>61047007
bland song writing and even blander instrumentation. The Color Spectrum in particular is one of the biggest musical headaches i can think of.
>>61047049
Weird, I think the Color Spectrum is their best album. And I could understand finding the songwriting cheesy or pretentious (especially when he tries to get political), but bland certainly isn't the word I'd use.
>>61047049
you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I think there are definitely far more bland bands out there. so, saying they're one of the worst of our time seems like a faulty claim
>>61046364
Because I like this better. Why don't you?
>>61046623
t&y is hands down raoty
Dear Hunter is pretty good, don't get why they get so much hate here
They are certainly better than Deerhunter
because i dont listen to garbage
i wish the singer wasnt trash
