Time for the penultimate poll of these series as we have finally reached 2024! I am quite eager to see how this one might turn out although I do have a feeling that Opeth might have an advantage over the other bands. In any case, once we have some clear results here, the follow-up (and final poll) will be dedicated to the "winners" of each year... In the cases where we have ties I would have to resort to the PA ratings as a tie-breaker and give preference to the album with the higher overall rating. The final poll will include 25 entries (2000-24), it should be fun! But let's focus on 2024 as of now... I am kicking things off with a vote for my AOTY, Ihsahn - S/T. Star

Albums with the most votes from the previous polls:
2000: Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
2001: Tool - Lateralus/Opeth - Blackwater Park
2002: Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
2003: Riverside - Out of Myself
2004: Ayreon - The Human Equation
https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133952&PID=6162358#6162358
2005: Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133957
2006: Tool - 10,000 Days
https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133960
2007: Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
2008:

No surprise that I'm voting for Opeth again, although that's not something I thought I'd ever say. Tongue

Surprised to hear that! Knowing that the new album is much more partial to their earlier works (which if I have understood correctly appall you) and not as much to the psych-prog era... which doesn't change the fact that it's a damn good album! Wink

Yes, the same applies to Therion too. Therion's earlier Death Metal albums sounded dreadful to my ears, but I was completely blown away by their Symphonic Metal Vovin album. Thumbs Up

Nothing on the list floats my boat that much although I have Caligula's Horse and Wheel in my top 50 albums for the year. They are solid releases but that is it. I seem to be the contrarian when it comes to Opeth's latest. Not hearing what other people are hearing and felt exactly the same about Haken's Fauna album last year.
Heavier prog albums from the year that I do like a lot are Kingcrow - Hopium, Night Verses - Every Sound Has A Color In The Valley Of The Night and Turbulence - Binary Dreams. From the list I voted for Caligula's Horse as I have that slightly higher in my AOTY List at 40 compared to 49 for Wheel.

Surprisingly enough we have C-Horse in the lead for 2024! Think I might wait a good day more and wrap up this one. Smile

In the meantime, here we have the tie-breakers for the years 2001, 2009, 2013, 2021 (blue indicates the album that will be featured in the final poll):
2001: Blackwater Park (avg. rating of 4.28/1952 ratings) vs. Lateralus (avg. rating of 4.22/1750 ratings)
2009: Annno Domini High Definition (avg. rating of 4.22/1437 ratings) vs. The Incident (avg. rating of 3.68/1697 ratings)
2013: The Mountain (avg. rating of 4.21/1335 ratings) vs. Shrine of New Generation Slaves (avg. rating of 4.07/1164 ratings)
2021: LTE3 (avg. rating of 3.71/120 ratings) vs. Aphelion (avg. rating of 3.67/173 ratings)

*All ratings are as of 21.12.2024
