Check out our Top 10 Songs of 2014 as well.
1 Transatlantic -Kaleidoscope– Perfect album by the Prog masters. Features all-time Prog epics including “Into the Blue” and great shorter songs as well.
2 Flying Colors -Second Nature – Their second album features more Prog moments combining the best of their debut and of what these stellar musicians do best, while covering a lot of musical ground.
3 Haken -Restoration EP – Haken build of their epic “The Mountain” and have us all anticipating their next album. For a 3 song EP to be this high must say something. It’s that good.
4 Opeth – Pale Communion – Opeth continue down the path of their last album but take the songwriting up a notch.
5 Anathema -Distant Satellites – Cinematic and epic at every turn while still accessible.
6 Enchant -The Great Divide – The band return after 10 years with one of their best albums to date.
7 Umphrey’s McGee – Similiar Skin – The band make a full on Prog album with some older songs previously only played live, along with some newer ones.
8 Animals as Leaders – The Joy of Motion – Instrumental guitar shred taken to another level with great catchy songs too.
9 The Mercury Tree – Countenance – Relatively unknown but amazing Prog chops with alternative influences.
10 Gazpacho – Demon – Brilliant and dark concept album. Hard to stop listening once you start.

You have missed ‘THE CIRCLE’ by NEVERDREAM.
trust me.
Will check it out. Thanks.
No Upf? Or is that next year for you?
UPF was great and almost made the top 10.
i did not know al of these bands/albums, but I’m checking them out now! Restoration was the absolute number one for me this year, I did not like the latest releases from Opeth, Flying Colors and Anathema actually.
Cool. Thanks for checking it out.
The Anathema track really reminds me of the last Karnivool album which can only be a good thing!
Threshold’s For The Journey is sadly omitted lol! :p
