IQ - Resistance - I keep trying with it but it just bores me for maybe 70% of the album - love the rest of their albums
Marillion - Somewhere Else (or, as I like to call it, Wish I Was Listening To Something Else); although Radiation is pretty much on a (low) par
Dream Theater - The Astonishing


Resistance bored me the first five listens.  Now, I adore it.  


I've read that quite a few have struggled with Resistance, or at least one side of it or the other... it bemuses me a little as I see it as just being a natural progression from ROB...

Somewhere Else, I have never heard... kind of fell out of love with Marillion 20 years back and although I occasionally listen to their old stuff, I've never really picked up with them again.

The Astonishing.... well, for me it truly is yawn inducing.



Road Of Bones is incredible - pretty much a perfect album! But Resistance just meanders, plods for way too long. Apart from If Anything/For Another Lifetime/The Great Spirit Way….

I also enjoy the trilogy of releases based on Dante's works especially Purgatorio. I even stumped up for the box set after saying I wouldn't!

In Search of Hades and Pilots are both amazing box sets (Hades more so). It'd be nice to get a third round from the remaining years Chris Franke was onboard, but I highly doubt it will happen. Just about all of the '80s soundtracks have been reissued, too, including a 2CD remaster of Miracle Mile that I consider indispensable.

What was ARE going to get, sooner or later, is a fourth round from the Official Bootleg Series, and there will be a complete show from the '80s in there.
