Here's one that has gotten a lot of praise that came out at the end of 2018.

"All Traps on Earth" from Sweden. Maybe it doesn't live up to all the hype it receives, but it sure is good nonetheless.

This is no holds barred prog, No crossover, semi commercial, song oriented stuff here. Long, dark, complex, extremely well played compositions are what you'll find here.

The main criticism I have is that it tends to meander a bit. But each of sections are so good on their own, that it doesn't detract too much.

A bit of King Crimson, Gentle Giant, maybe Goblin, maybe Il Balletto di Bronzo can be heard.

This album is a magical moment in time and has to be listened to on the DVD from the box set, sooooo much more information to hear. Granted its a 70's live rock recording and has limitations but the DVD trumps all other versions by miles, unfortunately.
This album stirs my emotions tremendously on all levels.

Is it even possible for this album to sound good? This has got to be a shining example of one of the $hittiest recordings ever. The music is fantastic but the SQ sends sharp pointed objects through my spine.

Hope you enjoyed the show, Martin is the shiz!

The Steven Wilson re-mix of "Aqualung" is fantastic.
