I swear you did this list to punish me, Glenn. 
Seriously, it's just incredibly ironic that almost all of these albums - Triosphere, Masterplan, Engel, Aspera, Agalloch, Grand Magus, Cloverseeds, Creation's End, Sinbreed, Haken, Persefone, Vanden Plas, Anathema, Seventh Wonder and Kingcrow are on my to-buy list. It's not even like I haven't bought a shitload of discs this year, but for some reason I've delayed my purchases of these for other discs...such as the new JOP (which I must say I was completely disappointed in). I think a lot of it has to do with my interest in power metal was greater than my interest in prog this year, considering most of those are prog-oriented bands.
I think the main reason I haven't picked this one up is while I like what I've heard from them previously, I don't have any of their discs and from what I hear, this isn't their best.
One of two on the list I haven't heard of before, the other being Juvaliant. I'm very intrigued, so thanks for the heads up on those.
This is THE band that's mentioned on the board that I absolutely hate. Not dissing your tastes, I just have never and probably will never understand the appeal.
Most surprising album of the year for me. I was not expecting this to be what it was.
To be honest, this was on pre-order along with The Sword's Warp Riders and deleted it from my order because I figured I was kidding myself that this was going to be any good, considering I too thought the debut solo sucked. After hearing that clip though, I may have to check this out. As for the cover, I think she needs to avoid doing those because her cover of Cooper's "Poison" was one of the worst things I've heard in years.
I'm another one of those who finds this disc to just be okay. I like that they went darker again, but for me, nothing is memorable here.
