A Perfect Circle: Thirteenth Step
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Second and final album of unreleased tracks by the American supergroup, generally less heavy than the previous one, more introspective and refined from a sound perspective.

    Inevitably thick with memories, one of my most "important" records.
Anathema: A Natural Disaster
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
More colorful transitional album than the previous ones, offering sounds that are unique in Anathema's discography, also giving us some classics.
Anathema: Alternative 4
CD Audio I have it ★★★
Further evolution from the cleaner yet still dark atmospheres of Eternity to more typically prog and bright sounds, without excluding melancholy in the process.
Anathema: Judgement
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
The first true masterpiece of the English group that, as a pioneer of doom metal, moves towards profoundly different sounds, touching with this album the darkest and most depressive rock of their recent career.
Anathema: We're Here Because We're Here
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
A masterpiece by Anathema, at least recent ones, crystal-clear and emotionally charged to the highest levels, with melodies that touch the depths of the soul and a unique flavor.
Anathema: Weather Systems
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Another excellent album by Anathema, which continues in the sonic landscape of the previous album while expanding its acoustic dimension and more.
Anathema: Universal
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
The pinnacle of a fabulous band's career.
Änglagård: Viljans Öga
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
A grand return for the Swedes, who still prove to be in great shape without particularly innovating their sound after 20 years of hiatus, yet still delivering a remarkable instrumental performance.
Änglagård: Hybris
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
An album that, as derivative as it may seem from a certain perspective compared to the symphonic prog of the '70s, has to offer a technique and a touch worthy only of the finest musicians, qualities that make it unique in its genre.
Änglagård: Epilog
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
The last album before the almost twenty-year disbandment of the Swedish group, which once again mesmerizes with evocative sounds and exquisite technique.
Ayreon: 01011001
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
An album full of remarkable appearances and with a good concept, though at times excessively lengthy and redundant.
AYREON: The Human Equation
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
The masterpiece of the main project by the Dutch Arjen Anthony Lucassen, featuring a spectacular cast and a highly regarded concept.
Ayreon: The Universal Migrator Pt.1-2
CD Audio I have it ★★★
Both albums of the Universal Migrator saga, the first with a Floydian memory and the second showing a decidedly power tendency; complementary, but not always remarkable, especially in the case of the latter.
Blackfield: Blackfield
CD Audio I have it ★★★
Full of tasteful pop-rock oriented tracks, crafted properly and fitting for the inauguration of the promising artistic partnership between Wilson and Geffen.
Camel: Moonmadness
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Excellent progress for Camel's career, more oriented towards canonical progressive but still of excellent taste.
Camel: The Snow Goose
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Spectacular instrumental concept by Camel, democratic towards the instruments, exciting and complex just the right amount.
Excellent taste in alternative rock, except for a few tracks that are truly overly radio-oriented.
Devin Townsend Project: Addicted
CD Audio I have it ★★★
Tremendously heavy sounds and catchy choruses blend with Townsend's eclecticism, and above all, a mind-blowing collaboration with Anneke Van Giersbergen!
Devin Townsend Project: Ghost
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Precious album of rare sounds of pseudo-ambient often acoustic and luminous just like the image on the cover.
Devin Townsend Project: Epicloud
CD Audio I have it ★★★
Not particularly differentiated from each other like their predecessors, but still well-made and with a welcome return of Van Giersbergen.
Dream Theater: A Dramatic Turn of Events
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
First album with Mike Mangini on drums, definitely at a much higher creative level than recent albums, although the production in terms of drumming isn't up to par and there's an excessive self-referentiality.
First album with Jordan Rudess on keyboards, who definitely makes his presence felt. Despite a questionable distribution of heavier and lighter pieces, it remains perhaps the most valuable work of Dream Theater.
It includes two excellent suites and a commendable ballad that are worth the price of the album, but also some rather uninteresting and often forced tracks.
Dream Theater: Systematic Chaos
CD Audio I have it ★★
An album that has made many frown and that indeed suffers on average from excessive redundancy and entire sections that are totally useless and uninteresting, as well as some of the worst tracks in the career of Dream Theater.
Dream Theater: Octavarium
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
An unusual type of concept album based on numerology and musical harmony, it features as its title track the group's most prestigious suite and a wide variety of rather well-crafted pieces.
Dream Theater: Awake
CD Audio I have it ★★★
Heavier and darker than its predecessor, with keyboards much more in the background, it indeed marks the last collaboration with keyboardist Kevin Moore.

    They don't seem so secondary to me, on the contrary... They do an excellent and dark job; without them, it wouldn’t be the same.
Dream Theater: Images And Words
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
An album generally regarded as a milestone in prog metal, rich in genuine sounds and tracks that will set a standard, which makes one overlook the mediocre production.

    Mediocre production? No comments!

Dream Theater: A Change Of Seasons
CD Audio I have it ★★
A wonderful suite and then four useless covers, which are rather long on average and not recorded wonderfully, certainly not from the most favorable tour of the American band's career. Buy it only for the suite, but it has little value as an album/EP in itself.
Alongside excellent inspired pieces that are also different from the past, we find intrusions of poor taste and pieces that have been raped by the producer.
Dream Theater: Train of thought
CD Audio I have it ★★★
Terrifyingly technical and heavy album, it clearly carves out the characteristics of the band's heavy sound but suffers from excessive uniformity and a virtuosity that is often self-serving and not particularly tasteful.
Two albums: the first marks the peaks of theater experimentalism (never reached again at these levels), the second composed of their longest suite (42 minutes), featuring wide and orchestral sonorities and an interesting underlying theme.
King Crimson: Discipline
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
King Crimson return in a new guise, perfectly suited to the new context of the eighties, yet they do not cease to amaze and create pieces destined to become classics, characterized by a refined technique that is more understated compared to the past.
Steven Wilson: Grace For Drowning
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
I had high expectations, but they were exceeded. Wilson has done many great things in his career, but this is, in my opinion, the best, from start to finish. Absolutely a must-have, a top 10 masterpiece and one of the best albums of the last 15 years at least. 5/5

    I'm discovering it now. I've fallen in love with it right away. Do you know if the triple album is all new material or a compilation?

    If you mean the 3-disc version of this album, if I'm not mistaken, there are some demos and bonus tracks. Wilson hasn't released any compilations yet, only unreleased studio albums and a couple of live recordings.
