Niiice . 'Russia on Ice' is epic... I once bought FoT's debut, kind of regret it.  Man, the Best Buy nearest to me (like 45 min away) only carries The Incident, and basically no prog whatsoever. I have all of PT's albums, just kind of sad, though.

BLD is better than Coyote IMHO, but Choirs tops them all.

This as well.
Yeah, I heard the Fall of Troy's debut wasn't that great, but Doppelganger and their newest have good reviews here on PA. There are about 3 Best Buys within 15 minutes of my house but most of them tend to stock the same stuff. They do carry some prog artists, but only the most famous ones or the ones with the most crossover appeal. Every so often I get lucky and find an Opeth album or something (I've found much lesser known artists like Spock's Beard or Baroness there before).
By far the best place for finding prog music is FYE, but the nearest FYE is an hour away.

I'm working on getting everything on CD.
I have Lightbulb Sun, In Absentia, Coma Divine, Fear of a Blank Planet, and The Incident all from Best Buy. Still haven't found a copy of In Absentia or Deadwing though, two of my favorite albums...

FYE actually has a surprisingly decent selection. I am lucky enough to have a feckin awesome record store a few minutes from me, it has to be damn obscure to not be found there

Damn. We used to have an Amoeba Records about 20 minutes away but that closed.
I'm going to write my first review soon. I want to do Mastodon's discography front to back first, but any other ideas as to what I should review then?

All on you man. But Mastodon is a good start! I never did get around to them except for my hatred review of Crack the Skye

It's a phenomenal album, second only to Part the Second last year.
