| Phideaux Snowtorch |
| This is an awesome record. It may not be the most innovative as it gestures very strongly towards the seventies, but the record is extraordinarily well put together. In particular, Snowtorch Pt.1 is all that an epic prog rock track should be. This record however cannot be really said to merit a 5 in part because the other tracks don't match Snowtorch pt.1's intensity, and also because the record can sound a little cliche and cheesy at times |

| Steven Wilson The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories) |
| The first track and last track are some of Wilson's best work, but overall this album is too backward looking for its own good. It seems to try too hard to recreate certain elements of 70s prog, without doing anything interesting to innovate that sound. |
