Ironically I think it's the other way. Early albums up to and including that one, then after... meh.
RE PT: I think it's good news. Their last few albums have not been great.

Their last 4 albums are my favourite 4, moving in backward order... so this adds to the sting for me.
I just LOVE the 55 minute The Incident to pieces.
That being said... a band ending when they're at the top of their game is also respectable. It'll avoid them becoming like the new Simpsons :S

In Absentia was great. Deadwing was great. after that, hit and miss with me. It kind of felt like the music was blurred with his solo stuff and lacking some of the punch. I can see why he decided to give it a rest. They were awesome though.

I can respect this opinion.
I'm glad that Frost* is back, though!
I hope their next album isn't like their second...that was a huge flop for me.

The music AND the production were huge steps backward.
I was so disappointed.
The new, studio track on the live album was a good return to form, IMO.
Awesome song from an album I just discovered:

Haken - The Mountain
Scale the Summit - The Migration
Protest the Hero - Volition
Still working my way through some of the albums others have listed here with varying results. Great to have all these recommendations to check out!
Haken definitely made my top list after listening to that.
Infestissumam didn't really work too well for me after a couple tracks and I didn't even get through the whole thing.
Pelagial was just a draining album and didn't seem very inspired to me. Most metal gets me pumped up but this one just seemed to make me tired. They also kind of sound like a wannabe Opeth at times.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find Vallendusk anywhere. Will probably just have to youtube it.

Vallendusk is still my number 1 for 2013 but I think Tribulation - The Formulas Of Death has caught the 2nd spot.

I dunno--the first and second songs are maybe the best album opener I've ever heard. "Luoto" just defines epic metal for me. Like I told my wife, it's like they're playing on the edge of a fjord out to the ocean in a most epically triumphant metal fashion. Listen to it with a nice pair of headphones, it's just ridiculous:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w38Bb61ntFY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
"The Unknowing" is also incredible:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsjHvaU5Aik&feature=youtube_gdata_player
There are a couple of songs that are a little meh, but I love this CD. Never heard of them before Christmas, just stumbled across the first video I linked above late at night with headphones, and ease simply blown away. Swano's production is stunning and flawless. Great guitar sounds and masterful layering of the clean vocals especially. Jeez, I gotta go listen to the album again.

yeah the forum feels pretty dead. I check it pretty frequently and I post when I've got some new recommendations to share.
I think the SX boards is actually one of the more active in terms of people viewing, which is surprising.
it comes in bursts tho, sometime there are even more than one unread topic
