2020
Asad Ahmed Ascension3.5
Plini Impulse Voices2.5
Impulse Voices is so tasty
Dark Tranquillity Moment3.0
DT totally on autopilot. Not a very eventful album
Doomsday Astronaut Doomsday Astronaut4.0
Mitochondrial Sun Sju Pulsarer2.5
Lunatic Soul Through Shaded Woods3.5
A cohesive that feels like a concept album. It can feel labored at times and would have
benefited with addition of drums scattered throughout, but it's still a pleasant listen
Fates Warning Long Day Good Night4.0
Fates' longest and arguably most diverse album yet. Almost a one stop shop for the Fates rsound without sounding like an overly contrived "Greatest Hits" album. There are songs that rcould have fit on older albums while others that sound like new territory. The band sounds rtight but feels like they had more fun with this album since it's more jam oriented. As with rall Fates records, it's a grower so give it time. Longest rShadow is a beast of a track and Jim Matheos is a genius & Metal titan
Takatak Acrophase3.5
The Pineapple Thief Versions of the Truth3.0
Even more diluted than Dissolution, which in itself was more diluted than their more aggressive albums like SHIM (even if it's my fav of theirs). Bruce has mastered his formula for artsy indie prog, but it does feel like he could have done so much more. Leave Me Be is an absolute banger though, tasty tasty tasty
Pain of Salvation Panther3.5
The album art is cool anyway so.....
Ulver Flowers of Evil3.0
A Thousand Cuts is excellent
John Petrucci Terminal Velocity3.5
Nothing revolutionary, but at least it sounds like John's having fun again. And the
chemistry with Portnoy is immediate,pocket and groove for days. Dave LaRue is one of my
favourites, what can I say about the man, he just gets the job done, always in there laying
the foundation (too low in the mix though)
Haken Virus3.0
Asad Ahmed Severe Cuts3.5
The second release from Asad following his debut solo album Rebirth. I kept my expectations tempered but just like Rebirth I find myself really enjoying the songs on here. Asad seems to branch out more in terms of styles and brings more variation to his songwriting. Really enjoyable instrumental rock from the sub continent
Mariusz Duda Lockdown Spaces3.0
Mekaal Hasan Band Andholan (Special Edition)4.5
A stellar blend of the East and West as per usual from the band, but this album sees the rband delve into a heavier direction, which I wholeheartedly welcome. Quality prog rock/jazz rfusion from the Sub Continent

Magic is one of my favourite songs of Shamoon's. Great melody and beat. Catchy as hell
Darkwater Human3.5
Dream Theater Distance Over Time3.5
The band isn't pushing any boundaries, but this is very solid for what it is. Haven't
enjoyed a DT album this much since Octavarium. Even LaBrie sounds good.

Feels like reuniting with an old friend after many years
Soen Lotus3.5
Polished, mature, rhythmic, and moody. I was pleasantly surprised by this album. The engineering and mix is nearly perfect and the songwriting is really enjoyable overall

This has become my favourite TPT album. Great moody atmosphere and mature songwriting, with great performances from the band. Great organic production to top it off. Looking forward to their next one thanks to this

Funky goodness delivered by these up-and-coming Pakistani youngsters. Groovy drum rhythms, rtasty guitar melodies & basslines, Saxxxx, and some of the highest pitched vocals in rPakistani music are the assets of this EP

Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. It's minimalistic but there's character and personality in the compositions, and some of the sections are just ethereal. Poignant lyrics sung my a majestic voice and you have an album worth checking out

RIP Piotr G. You were one of my
favourite guitarists of your
generation in one of my favourite
rbands. Every time new Riverside
material was announced I was most
excited to hear your sumptuous
tones and emotional lead playing,
and was looking forward to many
more years of great music with
ryour involvement. Wherever you
are, you will be sorely missed, but
you will live on through your
rmusic. RIP

This album hits the sweet spot between progressive rock and hard rock, a combination that I
feel isn't being explored enough tbh. Top quality songwriting. Sadly Votum themselves would
venture out of this style on their next album. Also, I wish this album was less compressed

This album is very moody, but not as much as I had anticipated and hoped for. The album has it's brooding moments but I had expected quite a bit more dissonance, tension and experimentation. I knew these 2 had it in them and so I wasn't surprised with the result. Expectations aside this is still a great record with terrific songwriting and great contributions from both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Akerfeldt, though I expected more vocal interplay between the 2. The production is good but I thought it could've been better, and the album could feel more "powerful" and "dark". There are many great moments on the record but I have to mention 2 which I enjoyed the most, the intro to Drag Ropes and the atmospheric section of Ljudet Innan, incredible, simplistic yet so impactful. THANK GOD they didn't make a prog metal album, we have plenty of those out there, the world needs more storm corrosion!

Such a disappointing follow up to an incredible debut. The songwriting lacks that character that made the self titled such a great album, and it feels really watered down. An attempt at mainstream fame maybe? The next album better be a hell of a lot better

The album is a step in the right direction for me, however it could've been executed in a better manner. The decision for vintage instrumentation and arrangements was definitely something I was looking forward to, and there are many instances of it's brilliance shining. However I feel Mikael held back with his experimentation and as a result a lot of the time it feels like the foundations for a great album were set but not enough was constructed over those foundations.

What a great blend of somber Indie Rock and Folk music. Very chilled out for the most part,
with heavy arpeggiated based song structures and "Coming of Age" stories. Can feel a bit
samey and could have used some rockier tracks, but it's got some depth to it at least. If you
want to listen to one track, make it "Yellow Brick Road."
Votum Metafiction3.5
The band has changed it's style on every album, and this is probably their most mellow and melodic. If you enjoy the artsy/proggy side of bands like Riverside, Anathema, PT, then this is worth a spin. Enjoyable stuff, especially "Home"

After the release of the whopping trilogy of vintage melodeath albums that helped refine the genre, I would understand if IF needed to change things up a bit to add some juice to their sound but this isn't what I had expected, there are interesting moments but scattered and as a consequence its tough to listen to the album continuously without skipping your way through. One special mention needs to be made of the solo on Trigger (which could be mistaken for the intro to Dark Signs), although it's short it leaves a sweet aftertaste, and its quite possibly the best part of the whole album, vintage Jesper.

There are interesting musical ideas like the instrumental break of "The Bringer", the chorus and instrumental break of "Natural Chaos" and of course the glorious "Song of the Damned", but these are so scarce and short lived that one wonders if they could've been elaborated upon, maybe that would've put this album to memorable status.

Steven Wilson sure knows how to create a landscape of sound which you can blissfully immerse yourself in and this album is a full blown out version of the psychedelic aspect of Stevens musical genious. Sure it's very long with many sections being repeated endlessly but it all makes sense when listened to in the correct context. The production is gorgeous with all the instruments sounding terrific and being well balanced in the overall mix. The soundscape of the album is also terrific, it really feels like you're swimming in an ocean of psychedelia and ambience. I enjoyed this album as much as I could while being in my senses, I can only imagine what it would feel like for the people in the mental state this album was intended for.
