I think this is the best prog year for a long time already!!

Von Hertzen Brothers - Stars Aligned
Wobbler - Rites At Dawn
Phideaux - Snowtorch
Yes - Fly From Here
Nel Morse - Testimony 2
Van Der Graaf Generator - A Grounding In Numbers

And there's more to come!! Tongue

On first listen, Franck Carducci's album Oddity sounded very interesting to me.  I will definitely give it more listens.
Just give it all an hour by the concrete lake.

Smile   Note that I said return to those heights - not return to that style or method.
 
The album is a nice enough album but it just does not blow me away like those earlier Yes albums did upon first hearing them.
In fact - aside from Dream Theater I can't remember being blown away by by almost any new releases over the past few years. Maybe the age of the top rated albums here tells a story.
 
 


  Could be , that the same disease afflicting all popular music (most of it is beyond redemption ) also has infected the prog ecosystem.

"Clockwork Angels" seems like it is going to be very good.

Passion by Pendragon is one I'm playing a lot, The New Crusade by Konchordat is excellent and Testimony 2 of course, but I've only played that twice.....actually i'm gonna play it now.Wink
I think I need to finally do some reviews, so those three are a good starting point.

There have been some good albums this year, but so far nothing that really blew my mind (unlike last year) - more quality overall, no masterpieces. And I'm reffering to all music, not just prog. 
Bigger on the inside.

^ agreed. I'd only compare it with 2009 instead of 2010, though.
