Try some Pain Of Salvation, the concept albums will always rule!  Start out with Remedy Lane and The Perfect Element I and then work your way onto BE/ 12:5 if you are a Prog Rock fan or A Hour By the Concrete Lake/Entropia if you are a Progressive Metal fan.

But you must buy the BE dvd OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!
