lets look at some of the gems that have come out, and ones that will be coming out.
- Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura proving that christian rock can be utterly amazing, former Spock's Beard frontman Neal Morse, has created an epic progressive rock masterpiece. Detailing the life and times of reformation figurehead Martin Luther, it is a delight for the ears and the mind.
- Within Temptation - The Heart of Everything Dutch symphonic rockers Within Temptation return after the excellent album "The Silent Force". Combining the band's signature haunting vocals with operatic chanting and plenty of hard rock riffs, WT's latest offering is brilliant.
- Rush - Snakes and Arrows Legendary Canadian prog rockers Rush, return to the scene again with their 18th studio album. The first single "Far Cry" has been released on the band's official website, and judging from that song, we are going to be in for something really special when this album gets released in May.
- Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet Steven Wilson delivers the goods again with PT's new album. Having already played tracks from it on previous tours, confirmation can be given that the band's usual mix of psychadelic music and poignant lyrics is well intact, and better than ever. Fear of a Blank Planet is a harsh attack on modern society, condemning many aspects of popular society, "xbox is a god to me" Wilson snipes in the title track.
- Symphony X - Paradise Lost Arguably one of the most underappreciated progressive metal bands out there at the moment. Russell Allen's powerful vocals have carried Symphony X to the highs of the genre. Their last album "The Odysey" was about as epic as they come... will they be able to top that one with their new offering? Only time will tell.
- Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos Here it is, the big one. The biggest progressive metal band in the world are back. Now signed with Road Runner records, but not having lost anything that made them such pioners in the field, DT are looking likely to have created their greatest, most complete creation to date. Insider information points to this being a masterpiece of Dickensian proportions. June cannot possibly come quickly enough.
Im sorry if this is a stupid question, but im not a native english speaker and dont know your lil idioms, so why is the last action of a dying man/creature/thing called the "Swan Song"? Viviath

gosh look at you, you made a wii graphics thread. aren't you just so witty and original.
tell you what, all you're missing now is a thread saying that the PS3 has no good games and the 360 has nothing but shooters, and we can crown you as king of original threads
