Based on posts I've seen you make about bands in the past, I think you'll really like To Shatter All Accord. It isn't as needlessly dense as a lot of symphonic albums are, and it has a very fresh approach that blends the strong elements of both the past and present. It rocks out really nicely, and definitely has no problem bringing some new, experimental elements to the table that would throw a wrench into a run-of-the-mill retro-prog group's equation. If anyone asks me to name an album that at once has vintage and modern appeal, this is the first that comes to mind.

Plus, it's awesome how different it is from Unfolded Like Staircase. Even though that is one of my top 5 albums ever, it's really refreshing to know this group made another masterpiece album that doesn't just repeat what they've done in the past. I really respect that about them.


Actually Circuitry, When the Walls are Down and When She Dreams She Dreams in Color are all old songs, some of them are even older than Unfolded Like Staircase. Buy the live dvd, all these songs are there,
When She Dreams She Dreams in Color is in a shorter version though. Here's a video with Discipline talking about To Shatter All Accord, also take notice that in the video Matthew Parmenter says that Rogue is a song that they wanted to record for a long time.

Ha wouldn't you know I actually saw that video a few months ago but totally forgot everything they said. Thanks for the refresher Wink


Good that I could make you remember. Smile
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

GFD

The only other album I know on that list is Falling Deeper which is okay but not as good as other Anathema albums I've heard.

The ones I know doesn't really do much for me. I prefer Sky Architect - A Dying Man's Hymn over everything here.

1. Steven Wilson
2. Phideaux
3. Steve Hackett
4. White Willow

There probably are better albums on this list that I have here but I haven't heard them all. Why do time and funds always have to be so limited?

It's so hard to choose only one from this great prog year.
I Am between Steven Wilson, Discipline, Phideaux, La Coscienza di Zeno, Opeth.... Very tough!
