TGE and AOTW were tied for my album of the year total. Deadwing and Sideshow Symphonies weren't far behind.

The ironic thing about Ghost Reveries is that imo, the songs suck on the album. Live, they're absolutely astonishing, especially The Grand Conjuration. But on the album, I hate them.

Yeah, actually, I'm getting tired of the album too. I thought it was great for the first week or two, then it got old. I haven't heard Porcupine Tree's yet, and I was disappointed with Dream Theater's and Green Carnation's so there wasn't much inspiring in the prog metal world this year. Last year, whatever.
