Arena. Songs from the Lions' Cage is actually on the CD player in my car at the moment and it is quite brilliant. Valley of the Kings (bit misnamed because it's about building pyramids and there are no pyramids in the Valley of the Kings, but hey ho) and Solomon rank with the very best long tracks in prog and the rest is excellent too. I'd heard the tracks live played by the line up with John Mitchell and I was a bit apprehensive about whether Keith More would be a let down, but he's not in any way. And John Carson is a very good vocalist.

How they managed to top it with The Visitor amazes me.

I saw Arena live with the line-up of Paul Wrightson and John Jowitt, along with Clive, Mick and John M., and it was a positively electrifying show. They hadn't made The Visitor yet, just Songs and Pride. My one minor quibble was that they didn't play "Empire of a Thousand Days" from Pride, but the crew had to set up for the next band.

I actually voted for The Sky Moves Sideways. This was tough as I like Nucleus as much if not more currently. I had to think back for this one and I was listening to Porcupine Tree before Anekdoten, plus this is their best release in my opinion. I was also listening to this before I went online in the early 2000’s and rediscovered Prog. I had all but given up on new music as I had mined the popularly known progressive landscape dry. Then I found a lot more old and new Prog thanks to the internet and searching for and finding music I actually liked. On a side note I got the new Tree release today, Closure Continuation. I’m sorry but do not like this new release at all to date. I feel they stopped progressing. The new release sounds like a demo Steven Wilson solo release to me. Maybe the absence of the bass player has more to do than just the bass. I do not know. I’ll give more time yet I’m that disappointed.

Most likely the OP does not know the album.
I don't know it either. 

We obviously do not know the same albums all the time.

You're right. I've never heard of the band or the album, until now. Smile

Who would've predicted that King Crimson would go on to win this poll? Certainly not me. Embarrassed
