I only imagine it is slightly overlooked by "traditional" prog fans because it is much heavier than your usual metal album, with all the grizzly vocals, but the entire album is exceptionally wild, really can't believe it came out in 2003. Many young metal bands nowadays are miles away from displaying such an adventurous and progressive sound.

By the way, I understand that this is a contest, and there's nothing wrong with that, but for myself I don't treat these as competitions with winners or losers. I just like to the enthuse about music I appreciate with others, and that in itself make the music a winner in my book. And it makes me a winner if myself and others can together share in an express that appreciation ("one of us, gooble gobble, one of us..."). I am not the competitive type, but maybe that's because I always was more of a wiener than a winner... Maybe a Bavarian Bratwurst? We should have a wiener emoticon, --> I have heard the Prog community described as a sausage-fest.
I mean the "competition" and "winner" things are just really here to provide a framework to look back a certain year and have a discussion on what albums each one liked the most. It is in the format of a game or a competition because this makes it more involving and intriguing for a larger group of users but what matters is which albums are appreciated, loved, and whose favorites are represented... Anything else can be mentioned, any band, album or song can be shared over. It is not to be taken as the "prog olympics" but in a  much more lighthearted manner... as I said, it is more of a framework for discussion.



Mine was more of general comment on polls when people focus on the idea of "winners". It's quite common here. Having winners can create a sense of drama. My wife watches shows like Survivor. I've said that I often would rather survival shows that are not contests with necessary winners and losers. Of course the ones who fail to survive kind of are losers, even if they expire later in some of the more extreme survival ones like an extreme fasting challenge such as The Hungry Games and the more extreme still, The Really Hungry Games. :)

I have not been playing close enough attention to be honest, really am out of it these days (got over COVID recently and still having issues) but I figured you were going to have the option with the most votes from each poll compete against each other at the end.

I was divided here between Anekdoten and the Mars Volta, but went with the Mars Volta. Damnation is not a heavy prog album.

OSI's debut is a favourite along with Train Of Thought and Out Of Myself from your list.
How about some more?
The Power To Believe by King Crimson
Twist Of Fate by John Arch
The self-titled debut by Amplifier
A Murder Of Crows by Deadsoul Tribe
Perfect additions! My favorite of this year might as well be the OSI album, love the band.
As for KC, this is another massive favorite of mine and despite being quite heavy overall, I didn't really know whether they fit the category as much as the other albums included... Well, probably they fit as much as Opeth's 'Damnation' LOL
In any case 'The Power to Believe' has to be the top honorable mention!

I adore this album, but it's my runner up here to my favourite Anekdoten album Gravity. Maybe a co-favourite with Until All The Ghosts Are Gone actually.
2003 is a huge year for me, one of my all-time favourites. It's just good seeing the many albums you listed, bringing back good memories.
OSI's debut is a favourite along with Train Of Thought and Out Of Myself from your list.
