Third and last RAC for this week is for 2011, a very very good year for many, including me (in terms of musical releases, of course) with a plethora of interesting albums. Pick your preferred one and tell us which it is. Mine is 'Grace for Drowning' by Wilson, surprisingly.

So much good stuff in there, that I surprise myself for going for Lulu - but I really do like that album. (The only Metallica album I’ve ever owned.) ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Based on what you like, I would think there is a good chance you might enjoy the Opeth, Wilson and Beardfish albums. You should try one, and see what you think! ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

| I'm a big fan of Comm so I've gone for that, with Heritage in second place. |

I refrained from asking why is it even in the poll, it's one of the most disliked, even hated albums and in this case, unfortunately I agree.

I like Steven Wilson's albums with Porcupine Tree, so there's probably a good chance you're right about me liking his solo albums too.  I think it was Cristi who said I probably wouldn't like Opeth, although there's always 'ope-that I might like them.

I think you just DID ask why it's even in the poll in a roundabout way.

there is no escaping you.  I was referring to the death metal Opeth that is definitely not for you. But the prog-rock Opeth, yes, there is a chance you might enjoy it, albums like Damnation, Heritage, Sorceress, Pale Communion and In Cauda Venenum.

I think Cristi meant refrained from asking why it is in the poll, until this point. That’s how I read it anyway. I don’t think Cristi would have queried it, if I had not voted for it. But it just goes to show that even if an album is the “most disliked, even hated album”, it doesn’t mean everyone hates it. I love Lulu. Top ten Lou Reed for me, probably. We all like different things. And what is horrid to some is great to others. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Don't know a band named A Scarcity of Miracles, but I suppose you are referring to the Jakszyk, Fripp & Collins album, which will get my vote, because for me it is the only interesting (and good) one on this list... ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Steve Wilson for me from these. My personal favorite from '11 is North Sea Radio Orchestra - I A Moon ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

Great Opeth album here. Scarcity of Miracles is also good and the Wilson album better than what came later. |

There are three Opeth songs I don't like and they're all from Heritage, which also has some absolute homeruns. Gotta vote visions but under any other circumstance Opeth would get my vote 99% of the time. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

That's as good a reason as any, despite what anyone else might think of the album.

Me, too! Your inclusion of this rather good Lou Reed album inspired me to do a http://www.ProgArchives.Com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125586" rel="nofollow - latter years Lou Reed poll . Unfortunately, while I voted for Lulu in your poll, I voted for Magic and Loss in my own. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Phideaux narrowly over The Tangent. Beardfish would be my third choice. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |
