8 - Yes - Close to the EdgeThis album has 3 epics which are very different from one another yet they work very well together. Close to the edge is the most prog oriented of the 3, being a rollercoaster of melodies and rhythms executed to perfection. And you and I is one of the most beautiful songs ever to exist, the lyrics are touching, the melodies are soothing and calm and I think it proves that prog can have feeling in spite of the technicality. At last there is Siberian Khatru, a song that took me some time to get used to because it is very moving and inviting to dance which I found odd for a lot of time yet now I can move to its beat
Favorite songs: 3 songs, I'll let you guess
7 - Frost* - MilliontownThis album hit me immediately when I listened to it for the first time. It’s a weird mix of prog with some pop sounding stuff and for moments it also sounds a little to the latest era of King Crimson. Obviously the main driver here is the keyboards which are not extremely technical yet deliver what is needed every single time. I also like the drum work a lot for the same reason, not super flashy but very clever and interesting. And the rest of the band just adapt to what each song requires because all of them are very special and unique in their own way. If Snowman wasn’t here this album would be perfect.
