I noticed that this thread has dropped off a bit and figured I should give it a good bump seeing how there is a lot of great music listed here.

Check out Opeth's new live album "The Roundhouse Tapes".

Can't get much better... this days.

 

[Dubwiser]

Can't not get bored listening to PT, DT, PoS and similar bands..
Some modern prog bands i have enjoyed, besides math and post, are The Eunoia Plague, the japanese Coaltar Of The Deepers(a bit exaggerated though..) and Pax Cecilia.

I've had Riverside's "Second Life Syndrome" for over a year now, but didn't really get into it.

After cruising this thread again, I listened to it all the way through. Then 5x more since.

It never ceases to amaze me when an album can just "click" with you out of nowhere. Even if you've had it for a while.

The same thing happened to me with "Frances the Mute". I had that CD for well over a year listening to it maybe once or twice not feeling all that good about it. Then one day I popped it into my car stereo and liked it instantly. It's nice when that happens. It's kinda like when you find a twenty in an old pair of jeans, ya know.

Check out the swedish band Seventh Wonder, they got a new album out soon (Mercy Falls). But in the mean time check out there prevous records (Become - 2005) and (Waiting In The Wings - 2006).
If you like progressive music like Dream Theater you wount be dissapointed. The singer has a really good voice.

My new favorite band for now.

 

[Happy Camper]

Bump to get two prog. threads together.

Bringing this thread back again... Thank you for the recommendation, I'm really enjoying Seventh Wonder now. Also found Sun Caged and Stride. Stride is great for all you DT fans; very talented folks.

A couple of other prog metal recommendations:

Maudlin of the Well - Bath\Leaving your body map
Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor
Evergrey - In Search of Truth
Subterranean Masquerade - Suspended Animation Dreams (probably the best prog release EVER)
Sieges Even - The Art of Navigating by the Stars
Nightingale - Alive Again: The Breathing Shadow Part IV
Solefald - In Harmonia Universali

And prog rock:

A.C.T - Last Epic
3 - Wake Pig
Green Carnation - Acoustic Verses

One could argue how it's not really "modern progressive rock". Good album though.

Pain of Salvation took quite a while for it to "click" with me as well, but that's just the thing. It's generally bands that take a while to truly understand and "click" that end up becoming my favorite bands. Anyways, here is a small list of Prog that is on heavy rotation on any given time in my car:

Pain of Salvation
Dream Theater/Liquid Tension Experiment
Opeth
Shadow Gallery
Pictorial Wand
Seventh Wonder
Suspyre
Symphony X
Circus Maximus
Mastodon

And for those who haven't heard, I highly recommend sitting down and giving Pictorial Wand's first album a listen. Just sit down and let it play through from finish to end. It's a progressive rock masterpiece. I also highly recommend Suspyre, Shadow Gallery, and Mastodon, a few bands I have yet to see mentioned.

Not even by virtue of being recorded in 2008? Clutching At Straws, here...

It is more classic prog rock true...

I have had the same problem with that album, I guess I'll have to give it another listen and see if it clicks for me.
