I totally agree with Tales. Had all songs been stripped down to 10-15 min, the album would be pretty much perfect!
And if Takk... by Sigur Ros had maybe 10 min less of music I would probably like it a lot more.. but then again, Im such a sucker for short albums

Probably Tarkus , and I am not talking about the music.Such an album needed a much better cover and inner sleeve. But I consider it a masterpiece anyway.
Another case could be Fragile , it's lack of cohesiveness makes it a 3 star record to me.Or TAAB , it has a gap in the 25 th to yhe 27 th minute when it feels like the guys wonder: Well what do we do now? |
WHAT ? No i Love that good old Tarkus Cover  Bloody damn Fine Album to

Well, I dissagree with the folkes on here who think Lateralus was flawed. But hey, I'm a fanboy through and through, and I admit it, so from a casual Tool fan's perspective, I may be able to see your point.
However, for me, it was probably CttE. Please don't crucify me, people, I just think that the title track went on for too long and killed the record somewhat. The other two tracks on the album are flawless, however.

I really would have liked Opeth's latest release, "Watershed" if it weren't for those slightly awkwardly done experimental transtition passages in between songs and sometimes in the middle of the songs. Otherwise I found the album to be a pretty enjoyable Opeth album but something about some of the transitions (like that weird acoustic guitar passage where the guitar progressively tunes down.) didn't work out for me.

still love it to death but Amputechture because of El Ciervo Vulnerado and one section in Tetragrammaton where it's slow and major key. Got nothing against major key but that section's annoying (oddly enough it wasn't live for some reason)
otherwise flawless album

Twelfth Night's "Fact and Fiction".
If it wasn't for the abominable "Love Song", that album would never leave my top 10. or 20. 30, possibly...
Astonishing and hugely original 1980s Prog album otherwise. |
I like Love Song.

It's not very Prog, though

for me is 'space revolver'' by the flower kings.
You Don't Know What You've Got is the worst song of the flower kings.
BTW some people don't like Chicken Farmer Song ,i love the happy feeling on it  |

not to say that they're bad.. I very much enjoy their albums, they're lacking in the songwriting department is all (I think)

Crime Of The Century for me. Even though I like Dreamer for what it is, it just doesn't reach the same level as the other songs.
