Here's what I actually went and bought:
Pagan's Mind-Enigmatic Calling
Poverty's No Crime-Chemical Chaos
Vanden Plas-Far Off Grace
And I went and revisited an album I bought a long time ago but hadn't really paid much attention to, Andromeda-Extension of the Wish.
My thoughts, based on about a month of listening:
Pagan's Mind-Wow. Awesome band. Especially the guitarist.
Poverty's No Crime- Eh. The album started off strong but degenerated pretty quickly into midpaced prog oblivion. Didn't really distinguish itself after the first two tracks.
Vanden Plas-Same as above. A couple of interesting moments, like "I Can See" and "Iodic Rain", but overall a bit boring.
Andromeda-Is this the same album I listened to two years ago? It sounds so much better now! I have to get the new version with the new vocalist, which IMO was the only weak spot of the album.
Once again, thanks for your suggestions, and I'll be buying a few more prog albums at ProgPower based on your previous suggestions, or any future ones you put in this thread.
What do you guys think is the best place to start in Evergrey's catalog? For a guy who is mainly into power metal?
