The Owl Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 2011 was an epic year for Rock and Prog, soooo many good albums out last year, and 2012 is shaping up to be just as an epic of a year. In this thread list what you're anticipating to come out, and once they have come out share your thoughts on the album... January was a quiet month, so no thoughts on what's come out as of yet from me, but so far what I'm looking forward to is.. -Storm Corrosion/Storm Corossion (Wilson and Akerfeldt, need I say more?) - Flying Colors/Flying Colors (Hopefully this is a much stonger effort from Portnoy than AM was) -Ian Anderson/ Thick as a Brick 2 (I don't have too high expectations, but it shall be intresting) -Astra / The Black Chord (Probably my most anticipated, was supposed to be a 2011 release) -The Flower Kings/ Untitled (First album in 5 years, excited to see this happening, Roine Stolt was almost letting on that it might never happen) - And of course this Canadian band you might have not heard of, I think they're called Rash, is releasing an album called Kraftwerk Angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 So how has this year gone so far... This little bump was motivated by the "Is CA the album of the year so far?" Im just gonna repose what I posted over there, here... here are my rankings for the albums out so far this year, and what I am still looking forward too. (Not Including 3 live albums out this year (Black Country Communion Live, Steven Wilson's Catalog/Preserve/Amass, and Spock's Beard X-Tour LIVE)) 1. Clockwork Angels 2. Driving Towards the Daylight - Joe Bonamassa 3. The Black Chord - Astra (All the top 3 are very close to eachother. ) 4. Banks of Eden - The Flower Kings (what a welcome back for this band, great record) 5. Flying Colors - Flying Colors 6. Storm Corrosion- Storm Corrosion 7. Noctourniquet - The Mars Volta (Another good, not fantastic, but good output from TMV) Still have not listened to TAAB2, nor Anathema's "Weather Systems" and I need to do so. Beardfish, Black Country Communion, Coheed and Cambria, Between The Buried and Me, as well as MUSE have albums coming later this year that might rank But as of right now CA is at the top for 2012 and while there is still plenty in 2012 to look forward to I don't see it being eclipsed.

The Owl Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Polish Prog Metal band Riverside might have their 5th album out by the end of the year.... but even the band thinks it's most likely an early 2013 release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 How was the Squakett CD? I've been nervous about getting that one... is it worth picking up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave it a 7.5/10 but it'll probably move down to a 7 once I listen to it some more. Its a fine album but I'd buy something else from a newer band instead.

The Owl Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Mostly Autumn has a new album out as well... totally slipped under my radar... http://www.mostly-autumn.com/mostlyautumnrecords/3/products/The_Ghost_Moon_Orchestra/MAOpt201.jpg Unfortunately this group STILL does not have a U.S distributer, but it's worth the extra cost to pay for the import.

Good,bad,andrush Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Highlight of the year is definitely SW live. I am enjoying Mars Volta, Anathema, Rush, and many others, but I am angry and sad and confused because I have not heard the new Anglagard album and how the hell are you supposed to get a hold of that?

fledgehog Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I've got a lot of catching up to do on 2012 releases -- been too busy to keep up! My favorites so far have been Flying Colors' self-titled, Circa Survive's newest, Ben Folds Five's return album, The Gaslight Anthem- Handwritten, John Mayer's Born and Raised (barely left my car CD player for the entire month of June), Metric's Synthetica, the new Rush (obviously), and The Tallest Man on Earth's There's no Leaving Now.
