Better prog albums?

>aussies
not even once

tauk - shapeshifter ii: outbreak
consider the source - you are literally a metaphor
sungazer - vol 2
also any post rock album to gain any sort of notoriety

Yikes.

Lmao. Dude you're so wrong it hurts. Only proggy stuff id put in the same realm as tool is neurosis, old ULVER, am opeth album, and one agalloch album. Maaayne is, but they still dont compare and severely lack what makes tool special.

I wouldnt consider tool prog at all.

Enslaved and Ne Obloviscaris are great if you are into harsh vocals
I also recommend Caligula's Horse and Fates Warning

>talks about prog
>thinks Steven Wilson is mediocre
You are all retarded and have awful taste
Also Agalloch, Ulver, Neurosis are not prog

I've listened to Fable from a mayfly and liked it but didn't really like the overblown choruses that sound like 2000's alt rock. I listened to them after I listened to Tool and saw how Andrew Mailloux was inspired by the vocalist. Karnivool I feel they're just a tool cover band, didn't take them seriously idk why. Listened to some of Soen ling time ago and forgot what was my opinion on them. I feel like I should I listen to them now since I'm in the moed. What album do you reccomend?

Invincible is the best song, everything else is pretty bad.

Not a fan of Steven Wilson personally. Leprous on the other hand, I dig.

Agreed, It's so embarrassing when people who know nothing about prog come into a prog thread

Well Fair to Midland is more like alt metal band with prog tendencies, I definitely like them more than Chevelle
Karnivool tried to distance from Tool sound on last album but it ended up mediocre
I recommend last 2 albums from Soen because they sound less liek tool

Calm down I said some of it. You don't really think everything Steven Wilson has made is a masterpiece.

Well his last poppy album was kinda Meh and Grace for Drowning had some filler but rest of his solo stuff is great

Is it legit prog or washed down pop prog

Oh yeah I know they're not prog I was just saying that it sounded dated to my ears but I do like them. Will make sure to listen to Soen's albums. Thanks.

>washed down pop prog
This thread is not about Periphery

So you agree that not anything by those four bands that posted is better than Fear Inoculum. Also I wanted albums not just bands. Because if we're talking bands Tool is better than all.

Lol
Porcupine Tree is way more interesting and varied than Tool

Tool is more math-rock than prog.

Fi is "prog" bc the songs are all so long

this
and this

Ok I saw people call it prog in earlier threads and that there are better prog albums that's why I said prog. Also I thought math is just modern prog. I don't know why mu likes to talk about everything but not answering the damn question.

Not too heavy into prog metal, but some of the records I've liked better than this one are
>maudlin of the Well - Leaving Your Body Map
>maudlin of the Well - Bath
>Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane
>Voivod - Dimension Hatröss
>Voivod - Nothingface
>Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
>Mastodon - Crack the Skye
>Opeth - There are a bunch of good albums
>Enslaved - Isa
>Enslaved - Below the Light
>Cynic - Focus
>Edge of Sanity - Crimson
>Neurosis - A lot of albums kek

Good list
I would add some Devin Townsend

Are these bands considered prog because they put out longer songs: The Doors, Mars Volta, Type O Negative, Opeth, Swans, Metallica(master-justice-st.anger). They all better than Tool either way

Thanks for actually recommending music. I'm listening to tauk now and enjoying it. I don't think I enjoy it more than FI tho but comparing isn't the point of music in the end. Would've liked it more if it had vocals but maybe that's better because most prog vocalist sounds similar and not that good. I think Maynard made Tool more unique. It's a shame he sounds disinterested on FI.

TOOL isn't a prog band and that meme needs to die

They're just a hard rock band that do some weird stuff sometimes

Love Gojira, Opeth, EoS, Neurosis, Mastodon and Cynic. Don't know the rest maybe I'd check out Enslaved first because someone else in this thread also recommended them.Thanks.

Isa is a fantastic record. youtube.com/watch?v=itbms1l2P4I&list=OLAK5uy_ldYeXDOU4RxLQJk5KrmpmxUlasSIRDKZs

How do the keep getting more boring. No new tricks after 13 years? Seriously? I guess I need to get high to appreciate it.

When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? by Billie Ellish.

Every YOB

love karnivool in sound awake soen is basically tool diluted in wather and rishloo just meeeh

>Haken
Acquarius is good, Visions is very good, The Mountain is great, Restoration is good, Affinity is ok, Vector is a mess.

Black Metal is not what I expected to get posting this thread but Enslaved is great so I can't complain. Thank you.

>inb4 enslaved is not black metal brainlet

i'm the guy you replied to
i'm just bitter and like to be a dick
if you enjoy it, don't let me stop you
i just never got the appeal personally because i think it's all over-the-top guitar wankery

>>maudlin of the Well - Leaving Your Body Map
>>maudlin of the Well - Bath

there are almost no albums better than this one(s)

The fuck how has no one mentioned any 70s prog? Tool wouldn’t exist without bands like king crimson.
My top 6 prog albums are (not in order)
Soft Machine - Third
Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
King Crimson - Larks’ Tongues in Aspic
Of Queues and Cures - National Health
Henry Cow - Western Culture
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The inner mounting flame

Agreed.
Really depends on the style you like. I'd add Fear of a Blank Planet by PT as something similar to Fear Inoculum

Because this thread is focused on new stuff

>i'm just bitter and like to be a dick
That's just mu in general. I agree on prog being so hung up on the technical stuff and forgetting about everything else but Tool in particular is different maybe that's why people are calling it not prog. For me anything that have energy, emotion and creativity from any genre is good. I can understand musicians who like guitar wankery tho it's like porn for them.

Between the Buried and Me - Colors, Automata 1&2
Animals as Leaders- self titled, Joy of Motion, The Madness of Many
Thank You Scientist- anything but the last album
The Ocean- Phanerozoic
Tesseract- Altered State
The Contortionist - Language
Distorted Harmony- Chain Reaction
Porcupine Tree- In absentia, Deadwing
Elder- Lore
ISIS- Panopticon
Intervals-The Shape of Colour

literally the first ones i wrote because they were the first ones that came to mind

Porcupine Tree sounds like somewhat more borring Radiohead wtf!

>Panopticon
>Prog

Bro what
