IQ is absolutely killing it in the Random Album Clashes! This is certainly going to be their fifth win in their seventh appearance!

Several good albums there, but just one masterpiece: Subterranea.
People compare it with The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway: Ok - its's a double concept album and that's it.
The concept is totally different and the mood is much darker.
For me, Subterranea is a far better album with not a single indifferent track. There's quite a few of those on the Lamb.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

IQ gets the nod.

Surprised that IQ got that many....alwys thought that 2lp should have been a single with too many uninteresting tracks overall. And Radiohead..another 'overrated' band for me.
And KC should have gotten more...a killer live set .

A stellar list of albums’97! Forgotten about the amount of albums that. I purchased that year, mIQ Subterranea

From this list I picked IQ narrowly over Pär Lindh Project.

Some other faves from 1997:
5uu's - Crisis in Clay
Cliffhanger - Not to Be or Not to Be?
Discipline - Unfolded Like Staircase
After Crying - 6
Citizen Cain - Raising the Stones
Koenjihyakkei - Ni

I hesitated between IQ - 'Subterranea' and Fates Warning - 'A Pleasant Shade of Gray'. However, I decided by IQ - 'Subterranea'.

Between IQ, Marillion and the Ozrics I choose Radiohead - on of the best albums of the decade, imo.
