DPRP Best of 2009 Poll Results

I like our top a lot more - actually I only like The Incident from their Albums Top 10. And my intuition tells me that the reason for it being no.1 is the mainstream popularity PT has, not the daring change in attitude The Incident came with, which made me like this album a lot and brought a lot of disappointment for PAers.

The "best artwork" title for Transatlantic makes me smile

I believe we would have had much the same result as regards The Incident, if we had had a comparable category

@Rico: Yeah I saw that too when I scrolled down.  That's more accurate, and I agree with Raff.

Agreed on both!  Their list makes ours look better and more diverse.  Best artwork?  You gotta be kidding me, that album cover sucks is a snore. 

^ ok, thanks. We are on Canadian Progressive Rock Pages...

Yeah, ferhaps. That, or DT.

As a big name, I'd probably vote it somewhere as a disappointment myself, although I was much more displeased with Kotebel or Deluge Grander (strictly prog). Those were more genuine disappointments, in the sense of taking a blow. Meanwhile, I did slightly expect PT to fail.

That's quite an interesting list, Lucas, though it's also based on  quite different criteria from both DPRP's and ours. Most of those albums have been rated by one or two people, with very few exceptions - which makes the scope of the list a bit limited, in my opinion. It's basically a list of all the albums released in 2009 with the rating given to them by the site's collaborators.

I'm quite stunned that my band Relocator got a few stray votes (two for best newcomer, two for best album and one each in the guitarist and keyboard player categories) - after all, our CD didn't really come out until late January 2010. It missed its original late 2009 release date because of a pressing plant mistake with the artwork, even though those who pre-ordered already got access to advance mp3s in December.

So thanks to whoever voted for us! Next time we'll hopefully do even better now
that our CD is finally available and there are some reviews of it out there.  And who
knows, maybe one day that ProgArchives entry for our album will even go online.
