Lately my playlist has consisted of a few really solid albums: A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park, Dark Side of the Moon, The Beatles discography, and Animosity by Sevendust. The thing that really appeals to me in each of these is not only that they're all really great albums, but the fact that the songs are so cohesive, so that the best way to listen to them is as one complete album. ITT we list all the great albums that are better experienced in this way so I can give them at try. :biggrin:

Catch Without Arms or El Cielo by dredg.
-
Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways (US Version without Moonloop on it)
Peter Gabriel - Up
No-Man - Schoolyard Ghosts
-
A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
I've fallen in love with this album recently.
-
Unexpect - In a Flesh Aquarium
Best. Album. Ever.
-
Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways (US Version without Moonloop on it)
I have that plus Moonloop.
A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
I have that one too. Love that album to death.
But yeah, see that's exactly what I'm talking about. Thirteenth Step is so great, but so much more so when you just listen to it from beginning to end.
-
A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
I've fallen in love with this album recently.
Woot for this!
Also, for cohesiveness of songs, nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats:
Tool - Lateralus.
Listening to that in one go with headphones is INSANE. Also most PT albums.
-
The Who - Quadrophenia
-
I Mother Earth --Quicksilver Meat Dream
-
I don't know how much you like whacky electronic music, but Transylvania Radio by Casey James and the Staypuft Kid is one of my favorite albums of all time. God, i think I've listened to that album over 100 times, easily. And it's free!
-
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
-
Oh yeah, I should mention I do have Wish You Were Here, and I'm having trouble getting into Tool. I'm guessing 10,000 Days was a bad place for me to start?
-

I dunno, some say it's their most accessible but I found it way harder to get into than Lateralus, which I loved as soon as I heard the title track. I'd give Lateralus a try in full before giving up on them, although you'll have to wade through the first half of the album to get to the more immediately gratifying stuff.

Picture - Kino
I started the above thread because I've been digging this album again, and I always have, it's just re-entered my rotation lately (along with Frost*, which I would recommend too if you don't have them already).
Kino definitely put out a very consistent album, and it's very song-oriented but with the great talents of prog musicians behind them. Read the thread I made for more info on who they are. There's even a link to a free sample medley on their website (which still works, I tried it out the other night).
Oh yeah, I should mention I do have Wish You Were Here, and I'm having trouble getting into Tool. I'm guessing 10,000 Days was a bad place for me to start?
And I would agree, 10,000 Days probably wasn't the best album to start with. Lateralus would've been a better choice, IMO.
-Marc.

The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Traveler
I can't really listen to this without hearing it as a whole album!

Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain
The River Empires - Epilogue
2 that comes to my mind.
There are loads of others though.
-
Janelle Monáe - The ArchAndroid
-
Any Rush from '76 - '81. All perfect albums to me.
-
Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain
Thisthisthisthisthis.

Devin Townsend-Terria

-
Kansas - Leftoverture
Kansas - Point of Know Return
Not a bad song on either one, and they're not terribly long listens either. Awesome classic/progressive rock.
-
Thrice - The Alchemy Index (Volumes I to IV).
4 EPs in two albums - fire, water, air and earth. Each EP reflects it's namesake in style of music. I only got it yesterday but it's getting better with each listen and is just so enjoyable - the four contrasting styles means there is a section that fits different moods I'm feeling and the type of music I want at the time.
-
Eisley - Room Noises
-
Frank Zappa- Joe's Garage.
Cannot be understood or truly appreciated by listening in pieces.
And I would agree, 10,000 Days probably wasn't the best album to start with. Lateralus would've been a better choice, IMO.
-Marc.
I'd actually recommend one of the first two albums as a starter, probably Aenima. I had trouble getting into Lateralus and I was already a big fan...

This is INCREDIBLE thus far.

Pat Metheny - Way Up
-
Not so sure how this will go over:
Kiss - Destroyer
Pink Floyd - Animals
Lordi - Babez for Breakfast
Best Lordi album since Get Heavy...
Lordi - Get Heavy
-
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Greatest album ever made.

I got Animals a couple years ago and I wasn't too crazy about it, but I've been thinking recently I'd give it another spin.
Oh FYI everyone, although all prog contributions are welcome, what I'm looking for is neither restricted to nor exclusive of prog bands. :tup
-
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Greatest album ever made.
Quite possibly. I'd love to get my hands on the vinyl version now... :P
Also Addicted by Devin Townsend is the greatest album ever made, but I already have that on vinyl :neverusethis:
-
Ulver - Perdition City is also incredible.
-
I assume in this thread you are asking for 5 star albums? Here is a couple of mine:
Neu! - Neu 75
-early proto-punk mixed with ambient and effect looping. not a bad track on here (only 6 tracks) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FbmTmCnwEk
Ton Steine Scherben - Keine Macht für Niemand
-awesome early 70's groovy blues rock. Just a superb use of guitar on this album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnOZbIkcxXk
-
Ulver - Perdition City is also incredible.
This man speaks the truth. It also has one of the best album openers ever.
Radiohead - The Bends
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream
The albums share some similarities here and there, and SW references to The Bends in 'Pure Narcotic'. I can really hear Radiohead's influence shining through on the album. Yet PT are so good that it's by no means unoriginal or bland. These two albums perfectly present something I really like: passionate, moody, sometimes anthemic and heavy music, yet still light and dreamy in feel.
-
Mew-Frengers
Mastodon-Crack the Skye
Devin Townsend-Addicted and Terria

Moving Pictures by Rush

Moving Pictures by Rush
Permanent Waves by Rush
Those.
-
Fuck it, just get their whole discography.
-
Might as well.
-
Fuck it, just get their whole discography.
Might as well.
I mean, you would sooner or later. Start with their second phase, A Farewell To Kings/Hemispheres/Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures. Then go back and forward an album each - 2112 and Signals; then again - Caress Of Steel and Grace Under Pressure; and once more - Fly By Night and Power Windows. If you dig them a lot by then, get their first, self-titled debut album and their last album under the Mercury label Hold Your Fire, which ends their third phase.
If you REALLY like them, go into their fourth phase, which starts with their first release on Atlantic, Presto. Everything from there forward is a bit different each album, and an interesting progression that shows how the band has become who they are today. Do all of this in the next 8-10 months before their 18th studio album comes out, Clockwork Angels.
You won't look back, but you will wonder why you never had their whole discography before today.
-Marc.
-
I'm not sure how much SuperDude likes Rush, but I'd definitely recommend Moving Pictures, A Farewell to Kings, Power Windows, and Hemispheres.
Is he into Porcupine Tree? I forget. If he doesn't know them, then I recommend Lightbulb Sun, In Absentia, The Incident, Deadwing, Stupid Dream, and Signify.
-
Bright Eyes - "Im Wide Awake It's Morning" Some of the best simple songwriting I've ever heard.

Perhaps he may consider leaving his wuss phase and step up :p
-
Oh FYI everyone, although all prog contributions are welcome, what I'm looking for is neither restricted to nor exclusive of prog bands. :tup
In that case:
Banghra - la Danza Del Vientre (if you learn how to bellydance from this, women will bow down to you)
Andrew WK - The Wolf
Bond - Born (Classical/Techno Fusion with Hot chicks)
Josh Groban - Closer
Hoobastank - Every Man for Himself
The 69 Eyes - Devils (Semi-Goth Rock and Roll)
-
Opeth - Still Life easily, but I think you already have that.
How about Led Zep 4? Or Powerslave by Iron Maiden.
Also, Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime.
-
If you're looking for something jazz-inspired with a bit of blue-grass and international instrumentation, pick up Bela Fleck & The Flecktones' Live At The Quick, it's easily one of my favorite albums of all time, and it shows how great the band is in a live situation with a whole slew of back-up performers that bring the songs to life. Also, Victor Wooten is just simply amazing. His solos bring tears to my eyes and chills across my skin.
I'd also suggest any of the "Time" albums by Dave Brubeck. Great jazz with time-signature explorations. There are a few tunes that venture into common time, but mostly it was Brubeck's way of showing that jazz isn't always limited to 4/4. Great albums, and his timeless classic album Time Out is just a landmark album I think most music lovers and musicians should own, if not at least hear once.
And here's one out of left field - Daft Punk's debut album Homework. Great techno music and just an awesome listen straight through.
And along that style is Rob Dougan's Furious Angels - you make recognize his music as it was used in the film series The Matrix. Great blend of techno and trip-hop and classical music.
And back to jazzy stylings, I'd also recommend any of Chicago's first three albums. They're the only band to have ever released 3 consecutive double albums in under 2 years, and they're pretty great albums all around. This is far and away from the soft-rock/adult-contemporary jazz you might know from their later output. It's early 70's jazz and rock with great guitars and horns.
Those are probably most of my non-prog indulgences that I could suggest!

I checked them out upon the suggestion of their concept album The Alchemy Index. Now I've read reviews about them saying this project isn't very indicative of their earlier work, and is pretty experimental as far as their "original sound" goes, but from what I heard of the four Volumes/Elements, it's a really great record and I plan on getting it whenever I have the cash. I love the idea/concept of creating a body of work based on the classical elements and writing music to reflect that element. It really shows what the band can do and I enjoy that sort of experimentation.

Well Beggars, the next and latest album feels similar to it. Before it came Vheissu, of which the Air EP feels kind of similar to. But if you go beyond Vheissu then sure, it's post-hardcore, but it's still the same thrice style.

Do you guys think I'll like Octane by Spock's Beard?

I've never listened to Spock's Beard, but I can almost guarantee that you'll love it.
-
The fact that you have not listened to Terria yet is horrible.
-
Do you guys think I'll like Octane by Spock's Beard?
Only if you get the Special 2-Disc edition of the album. The bonus songs on the second disc are pretty damn good, and SB made a mistake of leaving them off the album in place of some of the songs they DID put on the album.
Also, the opening suite is pretty epic, thirty minutes of rocking good music. I would probably start with Octane or the band's latest album X. Actually, if you like either of those, I would get the other, then their other two Nick-Era albums Feel Euphoria and Spock's Beard.

Crime Slunk Scene
Electric Tears
Bucketheadland
Inbred Mountain
Kaleidoscalp
Population override
-
Stolen Babies - There Be Squabbles Ahead
-
Sleepy Sun - Fever
Awesome retro/space/blues rock with psychedelic guitar solos, and vocals that sound like Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan. Organic in sound, and adventurous in structure. Live they're really that Grateful Dead-esque jam band.
Check out their single 'Open Eyes'. I was grabbed from the start.
