I've listened to well over 50 new albums this year. I agree that it was a great year for progressive music, as well as metal.

Five prog albums so far this year that I can remember:
The Mars Volta
Tool
Devin Townsend
Pure Reason Revolution
Kayo Dot
There may be a few others, but like many others on this forum, I've been exploring music that was released in the past (though not necessarily the '70s).

20-30.
I lose count because time really isn't much of a barrier for me, and of course I listen to so much music, but whose counting?
This year was more retrogressive and dated for me then 2005 or 2004, i delved into the 70's again. Last year I could have very well heard triple what I have this year. As far as modern albums go.

I counted and it seems I've listened to 54 albums so far. I am definitely not satisfied.

To tell the truth, the only prog album I bought this year that was actually released this year was Marillion's Marbles By The Sea live performance.

Napster actually HAS most of the prog releases that have come out this year??? I would expect that such a big business to focus on music that is more popular. If you look on Rhapsody they don't even have any Tool albums save for their bad best of- collection! Do you get most/all of these albums from Napster? I'm suprised they're so on top of all the music coming out. P.S. What happened to being a prog metal specialist and prog reviewer?

Napster has many prog albums ... of course prog is not a priority for them, but they want to offer as many tracks as possible, so they publish everything that the record companies give them. You can find obscure albums like Miasma & The Carousel of Headless Horses, or Painkiller (John Zorn), Mike Keneally, Mr. Bungle, Captain Beefheart, All VdGG and Peter Hammill, most Post Rock (Mono, Sigur Ros, Tortoise, Mogwai, GYBE), All Dream Theater, all Symphony X, all new Neal Morse, Transatlantic, Pain of Salvation etc etc...
P.S. What happened to being a prog metal specialist and prog reviewer?

Well, I stepped back from the PMT a while ago. I'm not happy with the direction the archives are taking, and my constant criticism (and also the fact that I'm running my own prog website) don"t go well with running a genre team, or being labelled a collaborator.

Only four: Mars Volta, Gilmour, Flower Kings, Frost. Waiting for the new Spock's Beard, which I already ordered.
I feel that 2005 was better than 2006 but maybe that's just because I listened to many more 2005 albums.

Although I certainly do not necessarily check out the new stuff coming out in an emergency (or any kind of priority), I still try to get in abunch of new/recent albums, partly to keep in contact with what's new, but I must say I do not appreciate over 60% of it.
Although I still want to listen to these two before the year is out:
White Willow
Muse
I have listened so far, to:
Gargamel
Karda Estra
The Mars Volta
Pure Reason Revolution
Tool
Red Hot Chili Peppers
aaaaaaannnnnnnddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!.............
Oh yeah!!! 
That dreadful  David Gilmour album.

I've listened only 2 albums from 2006: Ars Nova - " Chrysalis-Force For The Fourth" (great new versions of old compositions !) and Echolyn - "The End is Beautiful" (in fact this is my fisrt Echolyn's album). As you see I usually listen to 60'-70' or only retro-prog from 90'-00'.
