Tell em/me what albums to get.

[grey knight]

Alright I was just wondering, I've lately got so many things to buy.

I thought about making a list but I was too lazy to,
just mention all kinds of must-get albums for a prog-metal-&otherstuff -guy.

(Note; I've got all Opeth albums)

Edit:

OH BTW, YOU CAN RECOMMEND ANYTHING BETWEEN YES AND BURZUM, incl Power metal. (But NOT hardrock stuff, unless it's progressiveness is above Uriah Heep (doesn't seem that prog to me...).)

Devin Townsend - Synchestra, Terria, Ziltoid the Omniscient

Ive always thought about getting Ziltoid the great, but always backed out of it at the last min.
why should i get it?

 

[Hox]

The actual question is: "Why should I NOT get it?"
It's an excellent concept album. Funny story and "acting", but serious music. Some very awesome dynamics. A great mix of all of Devy's previous works.

[grey knight]

Umm...ok.

Though, could you people write somekind of descriptions for the albums, I'm not gonna buy albums just because you happen to list them. Edit: can't even afford them, maybe one or two at a time.

Btw. I recommend;
Ayreon - 01011001
Ayreon - The human equation

Both are just basically awesome prog shit with multiple singers and etc. And 01011001 is my favorite album of all time, better than any Opeth or Dream Theater album.

 

[Ben_jamin]

I'd recommend some Fates Warning, and OSI

 

[Shapeless)))]

Umm...ok.

Though, could you people write somekind of descriptions for the albums, I'm not gonna buy albums just because you happen to list them.

ok then...

5 random albums, all good:

Blotted Science - The Machinations of Dementia
Technical metal that borders to deathmetal at times, no vocs.

Callisto - Noir
Post metal, dark yet hopeful sounding.

Grails - Doomsdayer's Holiday
Psychadelic rock.

Tenhi - Väre
Dark scandinavian folk/ambient.

Anna Ternheim - Separation Road
Singer/Songwriter-kind-of-music which is awesomely epic.

Fixed.
