It's either ITCOTCK, 666, or Close To The Edge. Tales From Topographic Oceans might be the most ambitious but it certainly has enough flaws holding it back.

Yeah but they aren't selling out either

Fuck's sake, that album is made out of 4 20 minute+ songs. If anything it's their only prog album, the ones before it were psych rock and the ones after were fusion.

Oh sure, keep telling yourself that whiny faggot

OH MY FUCKING GOD
You know what the worst part about that whole affair is? They broke up ONE. YEAR. before Close to the Edge and Thick as a Brick showed how you could have side long songs and still a single. OH MY FUCK I just want to go back in time and slap them and say wait one more year I will bring you money from the damn future if you stay in this band for one more year.

At least the material on Out of the Coma was decent.

>>64541075
>Oh boy it's the nu-prog shitposter again Go away, no one likes you or your buzzwords

not a buzzword a lot its very much a real thing
nu-prog is shitty progressive rock that comes from an alt-rock indie or post-hardcore background how is that a buzzword
>>
>>64541098
It's still the best prog to come out of the 2000's and the best candidate we have for Dark Side of the Moon of the 2000's.
>>
>>64541077

Out of the Coma was a good album, although the title track had some pretty stupid vocal performances from Roger

But holy fuck HOLY FUCK THE MALGAARD SUITE

Not the best but one of

Western Culture technically isn't even a Henry Cow album, it's a Tim Hodgkinson and Lindsay Cooper collaboration with Fred Frith and Chris Cutler as session musicians.

The first Art Bears album is the real final Henry Cow album
