Hi,

I wanted to keep up with this, but (because of university business) I'm not able to much. So I ask here.

Please, can you give me up to (let's say) five good albums of 2010 ? I've tried some, reviewed few, but this will surely help.

Univers Zero, prog-wise (you'll soon hear the new Jaga Jazzist is also very good - the "very" part is not true Tongue).

Non-prog, Joanna Newsom's Have One On Me and The Knife's Tomorrow, In A Year are so far the only other great albums I listened to.

Not from me - I think it's more than very good, it's excellent! Tongue

Univers Zero - I loved this one. Reminding me Karda Estra quite a lot. However, are there others ? I think about  "The Watch", even on some of their previous albums, these Genesis influences were too much.

I am also quite careful with Joanna, you know how her voice can be love/hate for various people. I heard her once, I liked songs, but I'm not sure about her voice. Will try in future again.


But something from prog realms ?

If you like metal, try After by Ihsahn.  It's got saxophone in it, but he pulls it off very well.

He is. Actually this is a group he leads called Masal (after his 1982 album, means Luck in Hebrew) and it features his son on drums, and the album is called Glagal (means wheel in Hebrew). Quite different than that albums, fusion with emphasis on a rock approach, not as epic and grandiose as Masal.

I'm glad to find about this. The new tracks don't compare to Masal but they're still very enjoyable. Thanks for letting me know!

Thanks for recommending me this guys. I'm going to find buy links right now.

Assaf, you're right. Too much metal isn't good for me, so thanks. I'll actually go also after Masal (before Jean), just to hear first what was first. And I like Fromuz previous releases, so this will be next target.

Igor, The Watch is the one I'll choose to listen properly. And Mindgames, this one seems to be fine. However, I'll not go after Silver, not yet. I still have to hear their effort before 2010. 
Hope everything is OK in your country though :- /

Ihsahn, why not, I from time to time seek good metal albums (and only metal that can interest me is prog one, I don't know why)

Not bad João (I had to copy this character, as I'm not sure how to write it :-D )

Ange's release is something I didn't expect (I mean, their main work is from 70's, or isn't it ?),  but I anticipate it quite a lot now.

Let's try Pat.

Here is a list of prog/prog-related albums issued in 2010 so far :


The rating is on 15.

In the top 5 you have :
Orphaned land, ange, motorpsycho, univers zero, relocator.

I didn't listen to any of these albums, but reviewers are rather objective on this website (except maybe regarding german bands).

Heh, German, something like I being "objective" on Czech bands and Igor on Post Soviet ones.

Oops, I didn't say anything :-P


EDIT: Oh and Lucas, it seems like not so many people were listening 2010 releases. Still, majority of people listens (of prog people) their stash from 2009. Not that I do differently, but just though about it and maybe we should just wait for more people listening 2010 albums.

In addition to the ones mentioned already, I see that the latest by Elephant9 has some stellar reviews here and there. And Fromuz has a new one out as well, so far they have yet to create something -not- worth listening to :-)

I tend to be objective regarding bands of my birth country (Poland)...In fact, I dislike bands like Abraxas, Collage's 'safe' and later satellite, Believe, and all generic neo-prog bands. Also not a fan of Ankh.

Anyway, for non-prog music I am looking forward to listening to the new Hank Williams III album : rebel within which is due in may 2010 : http://www.hank3.com/
