Great stuff!Subsignal's "Touchstones" was the best album for me this year.

Listen to "Walking with Ghosts" off of their first album - that's my favorite song by them, gives me chills. If you don't like that then they're probably not for you.E: Subsignal album sounds like run of the mill prog to me.
The reason why I didn't like Subsignal's first album was because it felt like run of the mill prog to me, too.
Whenever I post a song from this album, I choose a random track; that's how great the entire thing is. Acquired Taste is no better than the others. Enjoy!
It's a shame so many of the prog bands I'm a fan of only released good but not great albums (Symphony X, Opeth, Pain of Salvation, Dream Theater). Oh well. Fates Warning and Psychotic Waltz will make things better this year.
Top 5 prog:
Arch/Matheos - Sympathetic Resonance
Redemption - This Mortal Coil
For All We Know - For All We Know
Fair To Midland - Arrows and Anchors
3 - The Ghost You Gave To Me
Top 5 other:
The Weeknd - House of Balloons
Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow
Elysian Fields - Last Night On Earth
The Roots - undun
Evanescence - Evanescence

Yeah, Zonder will always be one of my favorite drummers and I always prefer when a band sticks with their original (he's not "original" but he's been the drummer for the longest time) members. But you know what? Jarzombek did a hell of a job on Sympathetic Resonance. If the new Fates goes in a similar heavier, more metal direction, he might actually be a better fit. Plus, Frank Aresti is back! Come on. Really interested to find out what the new album is going to sound like though. I would expect it to follow Sympathetic Resonance's lead with the no keyboards etc. since now there's OSI to fill that more electronic side of things, but Matheos never really repeats himself so who knows.
And yeah. Psychotic Waltz. Still can't believe it's actually happening. Can't wait.
