Alright I was just wondering, I've lately got so many things to buy. I thought about making a list but I was too lazy to, just mention all kinds of must-get albums for a prog-metal-&otherstuff -guy. (Note; I've got all Opeth albums) Edit: OH BTW, YOU CAN RECOMMEND ANYTHING BETWEEN YES AND BURZUM, incl Power metal. (But NOT hardrock stuff, unless it's progressiveness is above Uriah Heep (doesn't seem that prog to me...).)
Behold... the Arctopus - Skullgrid Between the Buried and Me - Colors Death - Human, Symbolic, The Sound of Perseverance The Ocean - Aeolian, Precambrian
5 random albums, all good: Blotted Science - The Machinations of Dementia Callisto - Noir Grails - Doomsdayer's Holiday Tenhi - Väre Anna Ternheim - Separation Road
Ive always thought about getting Ziltoid the great, but always backed out of it at the last min. why should i get it?
The actual question is: "Why should I NOT get it?" It's an excellent concept album. Funny story and "acting", but serious music. Some very awesome dynamics. A great mix of all of Devy's previous works.
Dream Theater - Awake, Images and Words, Scenes from a memory. Porcupine Tree - Deadwing, In Absentia, Lightbulb Sun
I'll just list off some of my favourite albums: Abigail Williams - In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns (insanely awesome keyboards and well-done breakdowns) Agalloch - The Mantle Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain (best post-metal album ever) Akercocke - Choronzon Akercocke - Words that Go Unspoken, Deeds that Go Undone Akercocke - Antichrist (great mix of death metal/black metal/progressive/jazz/electronic) Alarum - Eventuality (jazz-fusion metal) Anata - The Infernal Depths of Hatred (contains the song with the best intro ever, "Slain Upon His Altar") Arsebreed - Munching the Rotten (awesome deathgrind) Belphegor - Bondage Goat Zombie (crushing blackened death assault) Between the Buried & Me - Between the Buried & Me Between the Buried & Me - Colors Between the Buried & Me - Colors Live (best live performance ever) Cynic - Traced in Air (a MUST for prog metal fans) Decapitated - Winds of Creation Decapitated - Nihility Drudkh - Autumn Aurora (epic atmospheric black metal) Enslaved - pretty much anything, lol The Faceless - Akeldama The Faceless - Planetary Duality Gojira - Terra Incognita Gojira - The Link (awesome prog/groove metal) Gojira - From Mars to Sirius In Flames - Lunar Strain Psycroptic - Scepter of the Ancients (tech death) Septic Flesh - Communion (epic as fuck) Sleep Terror - 2002-2005 compilation disc (you can find it on their myspace) Windir - 1184 (one of the most progressive black metal albums in terms of variety) Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters (insane atmospheric black metal) That's all for now.

Umm...ok. Though, could you people write somekind of descriptions for the albums, I'm not gonna buy albums just because you happen to list them. Edit: can't even afford them, maybe one or two at a time. Btw. I recommend; Ayreon - 01011001 Ayreon - The human equation Both are just basically awesome prog shit with multiple singers and etc. And 01011001 is my favorite album of all time, better than any Opeth or Dream Theater album.
