Spock's Beard: X - Prog Album of the Year!

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

Didn't think anything would surpass Haken but the new SB is their best since Snow

My cd arrived a few days ago (pre-ordered last year) and I was hoping against hope that it would be just as good as Feel Euphoria. Octane & the S/T were just ok. But they knocked it well out the park!

Wow....I didn't realize they had a new release!

i love OCTANE.....among the great prog records of recent times. In fact, I prefer to post-Morse era to the supposed 'classic era'. I'm just not a fan of that "quirkiness" that Morse brought.

Neal Morse may not be that great a vocalist, nor is everything he write great, but without his "quirkiness" Spock's Beard is a pretty run of a mill prog band with very limited talent. I struggle to see how any of the post Neal Morse albums are anywhere close to being "great prog records of recent times".

Prog Sphere spoke recently with Alan Morse of Spock's Beard. We talked about SB’s new album, some previous releases, his connection with martial artist Chuck Norris and so on. So, put your favorite Spock’s Beard album in the deck, get comfortable, and read the words of Mr. Morse. Check it out on www.prog-sphere.com.

Just had a quick listen. Good album but I prefer Haken.
Only competition for Haken this year came from Rosswell Six (Terra Incognia- A line in the Sand)imo.
It seems to become a very good year concerning prog releases,
here are some very good 2010 progmetal albums :
Wolfspring - Wolfspring
Echoes - Nature/Existentce
Section A - Sacrifice
Myrath - Desert Call
Ainur - Lay of Leithian
Julien Damotte - trapped
Mattson - Tango
Gronholm - Eyewitness of live
