"Battles - Mirrored. Called... and rightfully so.. the ITCOTCK of the 21st century. The template for today's 'not your daddies' progressive rock"
No, I think that would be PT's "in absentia." At least that's what PROG magazine says(although they didn't use the KC analogy). For me personally maybe the first Transatlantic album although that came out in 2000 and technically that might not be considered the 21st century. Another possibility would be the first Mars Volta album "deloused..."

Nice updated list, Mickster! All stellar albums--each packing quite the punch. I've listened to all of Agalloch's albums now (studio releases) and wonder if you get the same sense that I do that the band got kind of stuck in a rut: they all sound the same! It's a great sound, but there is so little change or deviation or freshness to any of the albums it's almost shocking (to me). I love your perfect description of Tio Bitar: definitely the most Batman-like of all of their wonderful discography. (Don't guess you've ever had that convergence with Reine yet, have you?) |

what a decade.. rivaling.. and in ways topping the 'golden age' of the 70's. It was a great time to be collab on this site we literally had more great music thrown at us on the genre teams than you could fully assimulate.
1. Dungen - Tio Bitar. The ultimate light and shade album.. incendiary and beautiful at the same time. 2. Miriodor - Avanti. The album that started me down the dark path of uncle Ian and auntie Raff 3. Guapo - Elxers. Yeah everyone.. especially those two love Five Suns. This was the album that was a 2x4 to the head. Helped in large part by having my single favorite 'track' of the decade. The Selenotrope 4. Battles - Mirrored. Called... and rightfully so.. the ITCOTCK of the 21st century. The template for today's 'not your daddies' progressive rock 5. Agalloch - The Mantle. Incredible album by my fellow Portlandiers which seemingly lost to many as it came out before the internet and music forums were beginning to rev up. |

Terria, by Devin Townsend.
Out There, by Rick Wakeman. Train of Thought, by Dream Theater. Originalis, by Cast. Anno Domini High Definition, by Riverside. The Whirlwind, by Transatlantic. It ended up being 6, though. |

I know it's a hard thing to do to narrow it down to just five albums. That's why I chose ten albums instead.
