I don't mean to imply you have terrible taste in music, but Marrow of the Spirit is their best so far.



Also Dream Theater sucks Cool


As a matter of fact, I know you are one of the few (if not the only one) who thinks like that Cooling. LOL Even Brian, who puts that guy on an ivory tower, kind of thinks like me.

Brian also put it #2 on his list for MMA, though.  And Kevin agrees with me that it's better than The Mantle (it just took him a  while)
 
I hope you know that such a comparison is like saying Union is better than CTTE or that Systematic is better than I&W or that Invisible Touch is better than SEBTP.

Thanks for all the work and effort Alex ! Clap
An interesting top 10 for sure.I need to re-visit Clivages.  By the way Steve at Cuneiform Records was going to E-Mail Daniel from Univers Zero to give him the news.Kind of cool.

Excellent work Alex. Great to see 2 or my choices in the top 10. Certainly means there is a lot for me to explore. As mentioned by other posters, a strange year for prog. I hate comparing but 2009 was an exceptional year for prog releases whereas 2010 was imo not quite as diverse. Still a wonderful top 10 which inspires me to take another listen Smile

No kidding, I have more 2011 releases from just the last 2 weeks than I have 2010 releases.

Which ones might be worth checking out?
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

But no masterpieces for me in 2010.
 
I'm expecting several in 2011. Deconstruction samples sound unworldly.
What are those samples like since I loved Ki but foun Addicted a bit boring?
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Well, heard 7 from the Top 10, not bad. The only problem is that only one of them figures in my personal Top 10. LOL

It's nice to see so many things listed ... and I/we/mostofus ... have no idea who they are ...
 
I can't afford all this stuff! Cry

The Agalloch release wasn't what I expected, but heck, the Alcest release crushed it imho.

^It is better than The Mantle, but there was much better Black Metal out last year IMO.

I was late, just got Road Salt One and love it. Would have given it points. It took me a long time to forgive them over Scarsick.

I'm surprised the Anathema album didn't do better, it's done very well elsewhere.

Coyote and Marrow Of The Spirit can be streamed, I'd check them first before paying. Big smile

Good. I haven't heard one of them. 

I'm thinking on getting Univers Zero, Kayo Dot and Agalloch though.
