Never liked 5 Star, they were far too poppy for me

I could only find three 5-star albums on this site from the last 10 years:
Pink Floyd: The Endless River (2014) Styx: The Mission (2017) Rick Wakeman: The Red Planet (2020).

those are two addtional 4.5's bordering on 5 (and the remaining three would be 4.5's landing on a 4).

For whatever reason, I don't think I'll give any 5 stars for an album from the last 10 years, but this one comes closest: Universal Totem Orchestra (I) - Mathematical Mother (2016)

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

And You & I know I hand out 5-star ratings all too easily. Any remaining credibility I had left here was shot to pieces when I gave The Quest album a 5-star rating on (the strength of?) the magical Mystery Tour tribute to The Beatles, which everyone here but me appears to hate.

I think I'm closer to 1.5% (but I rate at RYM, so I might have about 8-9% 4.5's)

As for a genuine five star, I can only think of one that's "prog": black midi - Hellfire (2022) But these 4.5's or 9/10's would have been rounded up to five if I had rated them at PA: Swans - The Glowing Man (2016)King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland (2017) Secret Chiefs 3/Ishraqiyun - Perichoresis (2014) Kosmischer Läufer - The Secret Cosmic Music of the East German Olympic Program 1972-83: Volume Three (2015) I'm sure I've forgotten some albums /artists here. Love many more, but I don't hand out five stars easily.

Frost* - Day and Age (my fave post pandemic release)
Magenta - We Are Legend (return to form) Big Big Train - Folklore (think that just sneaks in timewise and the last of their real masterpeices for me) Far Corner - Risk (glad to see this mentioned by Ian above!) Waste Of Space Orchestra - Syntheosis ( a bit odd ball this and got an international release some months after its original Finnish push out. I don't think it was ever properly promoted or appreciated but got into the collabs list of top ten albums of the year before the international release kicked in. Otherwise would likely have made No1 I believe)

Prog only, in chronological order. iamthemorning - Lighthouse Art Zoyd - Phase V Cisnienie - Brass Album Battlestations - Splinters Vol. I: Tremor Five-storey Ensemble - Presence There aren't many more, I'm critical enough.
I'd have listed Blackstar but it's Prog Related, so I haven't.Edited by Lewian - September 21 2023 at 16:28 |

It's really hard to narrow it down to just five outstanding albums (which means I won't be able to include the last two albums by YES, although I'm sure that'll come as a blessed relief to many here), but here goes anyway.....
 2021: Forbidden Myth - Zantea Chronicles: The Dream Dominator - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaBU4nHamOnWwcRWn5vOWeV-H2dmxxL_E 2021: Tony Kaye - End of Innocence - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mCjy2OnDnLX9XloXHOdwVCAZgPohqHFaw 2012: Francis Lickerish - Far and Forgot: From the Lost Lands - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kq-pjlZUbHbWHat5VafAgRa4jb9t9rILI 2021: Mostly Autumn - Graveyard Star - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lu2blVZ-qAMQRq6Ah5EybiYYvZwqS7rms 2019: Pallas - The Edge of Time - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37V7uR7becU |
