Which is your favorite from this list?
(I took out the obvious ones like Opeth, Queensryche and DT)
I went with Angra, closely followed by Orphaned Land.

| Angra by a million miles. The only ones that even come close are Devin Townsend, Orphaned Land and Psychotic Waltz. But they still can't touch Angra. |

Orphaned Land. I can choose some other too though. Cynic, Psychotic Waltz and Angra. -------------

What! No Edge of Sanity or Dan Swano! I picked Arcturus because of 'The Sham Mirrors'. Great Album. Although I would really like to hear Beyond Twilight. -------------

Definitely.Even though they made only one album it made a HUGE impact. Orphaned Land and Psychotic Waltz are close seconds. -------------  |

Cynic only released one album, so even though I love it, I will not vote for them. Arcturus blows me away with each and every album they make, so I'll vote for them, followed by Threshold and Shadow Gallery. ------------- "One likes to believe in the freedom of Music" - Neil Peart, The Spirit of Radio |

| Sadly, from the list I've only heard Threshold and Cynic. But "Focus" blows away any album from Threshold, as much as I enjoy that band. |

Sigh another Prog Metal poll devoid of Dream Theater. When it comes to lesser known bands, you seem to be missing almost all of my favorites. Zero Hour Time Machine Clockwork Lalu Vanden Plas and I like Dream Theater a little too. -------------

I obviously have a ways to go before I become an expert on prog metal, as I'm only familiar with 5 of these bands, and with only one album from each. I really love Beyond Twilight's "For the Love of Art and the Making", Kamelot's "The Black Halo" and Shadow Gallery's "Room V," and was a bit less impressed with Threshold's "Critical Mass" and DTB's "Synchestra". If I considered myself qualified enough to vote, it would probably be for Shadow Gallery. -------------

I just got Clockwork's album Surface Tension and think it is SUPERB. Too bad it's the only album they ever made before breaking up. ------------- |

Anti-Tool poll? |
Posted By: AtLossForWords
Date Posted: September 06 2006 at 19:13
I reviewed it awhile back. I really like how forthcoming the Yes influence is. Surface Tension sounds like a Classic Symphonic album turned metal at times. -------------
