ความคิดเห็นที่ 1 20).  LIGHT OF DAY, DAY OF DARKNESS - Green Carnation  (2001 : Experimental/Post Metal) อัตราความนิยม  4.21 จาก 5 คำนิยม -  LIGHT OF DAY is a profoundly, serious composition that is a must for the symphonic and progressive rock collector! GET IT, TURN UP THE VOLUME, PUT ON YOUR HEADPHONES, FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT AND GET READY FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR MUSICAL LIFE!!! TEN STARS!   คำติ -  Rather deceiving... Based on the very positive comments, comparing this album to an opera, I expected impressive melody complexity, with outstanding vocals etc... Melodies are poor, repetitive, and singers have nothing special to show. I have listen to the album a couple of time, but in latest trials I had not the patience to wait up to the end. ความเห็นของผม:  เคยได้ยินแต่ชื่อ ไม่เคยฟังมาก่อนเลย จากคุณ : Analog Kid เขียนเมื่อ : 5 เม.ย. 53 10:11:46

ความคิดเห็นที่ 2 19).  BRIDGE ACROSS FOREVER - Transatlantic (2001 : Symphonic Prog) อัตราความนิยม  4.18  จาก 5 คำนิยม -  In fact, if asked by a friend, just what is progressive rock?, I would probably reach for 'Bridge Across Forever'. It's a wonderfully composed homage to the greats who started the genre decades ago played with more energy, skill, and virtuosity than could ever be expected. From the majestic, soaring highs to delicate textures-- simply stellar.   คำติ -  I used to like Transatlantic but now find their 'prog by numbers' approach somewhat wearing.Morse is a Prog God and what he doesn't know about prog isn't worth knowing and much the same can be said of Roine Stolte but together they don't really gel for me.The whole thing smacks of compromise and is not even worth comparing with classic prog from the likes of Yes and Genesis or even from their own individual groups Spocks Beard,Flower Kings,Marillion and Dream Theater.And thats the rub.Prog supergroups are best ความเห็นของผม:  ชอบมากๆ ฟังได้เพลินมากวงนี้ แต่ละคนรู้จักลดอัตตาลง เพื่อทำให้ภาพรวมของเพลงไม่เวอร์จนเกินไป และเป็นอีกวงที่ยังทำเพลงยาวๆได้น่าฟัง จากคุณ : Analog Kid เขียนเมื่อ : 5 เม.ย. 53 10:18:44

ความคิดเห็นที่ 3 18).  FEAR OF A BLANK PLANET - Porcupine Tree (2007: Tree Heavy Prog) อัตราความนิยม  4.17  จาก 5 คำนิยม - And so, this album was made to represent the manifest against the emptiness that plagues humanity. Steven Wilson has the power to touch people. Every single album of the band has its own feeling. I still can't resume what I feel in this album. But it feels a lot... Masterpiece. คำติ - In an interview with Thrasher Magazine, Steven Wilson tates: "We are essentially playing quite simple, melodic music." Wilson continues. "It sounds deceptively complex, but it's actually very simple and very direct. I think where the complexity comes from in Porcupine Tree is very often in the production and the arrangements." I love simple, melodic music with great production. However, this album is overproduced and overly-long. As it stands, it comes across as neither loyal to its simple core, nor the complex progressive masterpiece it aspires to be. ความเห็นของผม:  อัลบั้ม Prog ประจำปี 2007 ของผม เพลง Anesthetize ฟังที่ไรรู้สึกว่าไม่อิ่มทุกที ทั้งๆที่ยาวกว่า 17 นาที ทำได้ไงอ่ะ แก้ไขเมื่อ 05 เม.ย. 53 10:26:01 แก้ไขเมื่อ 05 เม.ย. 53 10:25:42 จากคุณ : Analog Kid เขียนเมื่อ : 5 เม.ย. 53 10:24:57

ความคิดเห็นที่ 4 17).  SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE - Dream Theater (2002: Progressive Metal) อัตราความนิยม  4.15  จาก 5 คำนิยม -   So, I definitely rate this album as 5/5 because it has everything: strong songwriting, tight composition, excellent melody and skillful musicianship. Overall, it ends up with a masterpiece album that you MUST HAVE it. คำติ -  If you don't mind heavy, you will get something out of the first disc, though it surely is not a masterpiece by any means, nor is it among their top recordings, save for a huge handful of stellar jams and what not. However, disc two makes up for any disappointment from earlier. I give this 4.5 stars. You must get this, if only for the incredible second disc. ความเห็นของผม: ฟังจนแผ่นผุไปแล้วมั้ง ชอบหน้าแรกมากกว่า โดยเฉพาะเพลง Misunderstood จากคุณ : Analog Kid เขียนเมื่อ : 5 เม.ย. 53 10:30:43

ความคิดเห็นที่ 5 16).  ROOM V - Shadow Gallery  (2005 : Progressive Metal) อัตราความนิยม  4.20  จาก 5 คำนิยม -  I like to think of Shadow Gallery's music as mellow progressive rock. There is nothing radical about their music but it's always very melodious and pleasant, with musicianship second to none คำติ -   It's a good cd but really, it becames boring because this band always do very similar albums. I think that, there is people that want to talk bad about dream theater so they used this band, and compared ROOM V with OCTAVARIUM, and there ir no comparation. But, returning to this cd, the voices are ok, the other instruments are good too. However, is a repetitive album that not deserve more than 3 stars. ความเห็นของผม: ยังไม่เคยฟังชุดนี้เลยครับ แก้ไขเมื่อ 05 เม.ย. 53 10:37:43 จากคุณ : Analog Kid เขียนเมื่อ : 5 เม.ย. 53 10:37:11

ความคิดเห็นที่ 6 15). LATERALUS Tool  (2001 : Experimental/Post Metal) อัตราความนิยม  4.18  จาก 5 คำนิยม -   This album while it is not exactly my taste of music, is one I have to admit is the most progressive 'mainstream' album I've heard in the 00s. It contains complex time signatures, dark king crimsonish compositions, and album flow. The lyrics are very philosophical and a little hard to grasp, but even so, the singer is easy to like, and  have no idea how he can hold notes for so long. The guitarist is not a virtuoso, but he has good riffs at his disposal. The drummer is one of the best I've heard, because he prefers art over speed, using his drumkit in a unique, and the bass player has a great think lead sound. Most of the music here depends on rhythm, and it's worth it: it makes the music almost hypnotic. คำติ -   Unfortunately for Lateralus, Aenima exists. I've never quite forgiven King Crimson's In The Wake Of Poseidon for being too close to its predecessor and I think I will always have my reservations about Lateralus. By the time this album came out (2001 after some bitter contract wrangling, I've been told), Aenima was already justifiably viewed as a landmark in prog-metal and frankly it just seems to me as if Tool is content to rest on its laurels. This isn't a bad work by any means, and in some ways, it actually surparsses its predecessor, but Aenima's the be-all and end-all of Tool as far as I'm concerned ความเห็นของผม: ชอบครับชุดนี้ เป็นชุดแรกที่ผมเริ่มฟัง  และประทับใจมาก แก้ไขเมื่อ 05 เม.ย. 53 10:45:06 จากคุณ : Analog Kid เขียนเมื่อ : 5 เม.ย. 53 10:44:50

ความคิดเห็นที่ 7 14).  ? - Neal Morse  (2005: Symphonic Prog) อัตราความนิยม  4.26 จาก 5 คำนิยม -   Here, Neal Morse has successfully created a huge 57-minute epic. This is a brilliant album with the same quality of his previous two works. He, as always, knows how to write conceptual albums. The melodies are themes usually reappear throughout the record like in Testimony and Pink Floyd's The Wall. Here, Neal Morse keeps writing religious music with a similar sound as Transatlantic and his previous works. As a result, it is not very original. คำติ -   After the brilliant 'One' I had high expectations of this.Always a bad thing! Despite the impressive array of prog talent on show this is a big dissapointment.There is none of the inspiration and excitement generated by One. This is 'prog by numbers'.Sure it has all the ingredients but nothing here is above the ordinary.Its a limp offering. What a great shame.Neal needs to find new inspiration.The Christian thing is now getting tiresome and this album reflects that. ความเห็นของผม: เป็นอีกชุดที่ผมยังไม่ได้ฟัง จากคุณ : Analog Kid เขียนเมื่อ : 5 เม.ย. 53 10:51:26

ความคิดเห็นที่ 8 13).  CONTAGION - Arena (2002 : Neo-Prog) อัตราความนิยม  4.21  จาก 5 คำนิยม -   This Arena album has more guitar part as compared to their previous albums. John Mitchell's guitar playing has demonstrated major improvements. The opening track is very uplifting with easy to follow lyric that may become someone's yell "Exile! bYou show no mercy!" uughh .. nice man! Again .. this is another nice track to open your day after you wake up in the morning. Another track that kicks me is "Painted Man". The strong point of this album is that almost all tracks have the same quality of music. It's worth for your progressive rock คำติ -     must add that there a couple of good tunes, and one definitely good one. Without these, this album would probably getting only a single star. Painted Man and Skin Game are both interesting songs, with vocal melodies that actually stand apart from the things you'd expect. The really good track is Cutting the Cards, which is the one streamable on this site. From this sample, I figured more of the album would feature that kind of energy and deeper songwriting. Well, it doesn't. ความเห็นของผม: วงนั้เป็นวง Neo prog ที่ทำผลงานดีขึ้นเรื่อยๆ จากคุณ : Analog Kid เขียนเมื่อ : 5 เม.ย. 53 10:56:27

ความคิดเห็นที่ 9 12).  DOOMSDAY AFTERNOON - Phideaux (2007: Crossover Prog) อัตราความนิยม  4.23  จาก 5 คำนิยม -   If symphonic prog were a language, Phideaux certainly speaks it fluently on Doomsday Afternoon. If you like your prog 100% original, you can safely pass this one by. I for one am really enjoying what he's done here. It's chock full of elements you'll be familiar with if you're familiar with the classic prog artists. At the risk of leaving some out some names, classic era Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Jethro Tull come to mind in particular คำติ - My main qualm is with the actual songs. They're boring. They're full of cliches. Really, for me nothing else matters much. It's like a cake made with rotten eggs- it might look nice, and even taste ok at first, but ultimately it's just not a good product.   ความเห็นของผม: เป็น Prog ที่แปลกดี เพราะถ้าฟังแบบผิวเผินดูเหมือนไม่มีอะไรจริงๆ จากคุณ : Analog Kid เขียนเมื่อ : 5 เม.ย. 53 11:02:03

ความคิดเห็นที่ 10 11).  IN ABSENTIA - Porcupine Tree (2002 : Heavy Prog) อัตราความนิยม  4.20  จาก 5 คำนิยม -   It's a highly recommended album. It has a tight composition with excellent sound exploration even though the music itself is not very complex. There are elements of space and psychedelic in its music. So, if you like both, you will enjoy this album. คำติ -   Once again I still don't "get" this band. As strong as this album is, it is just as difficult to appreciate as all the others I have heard. Steve Wilson can obviously produce some good tunes, but they lack excitement and emotion. I can recognise why PT have a big following, but there is nothing here to pull me into their music. I understand this one of the best albums, but they all get boring quickly for me and I often fail to be moved by the songwriting. ความเห็นของผม:  ฟังไปไม่กี่เที่ยว จำไม่ค่อยได้แล้ว แต่รู้สึกว่าจะเฉยๆ แก้ไขเมื่อ 05 เม.ย. 53 11:08:44 แก้ไขเมื่อ 05 เม.ย. 53 11:07:44 จากคุณ : Analog Kid เขียนเมื่อ : 5 เม.ย. 53 11:07:18
