Ajalon - This Good Place Review by Gary Hill The latest disc from Ajalon, this is a great album.
Bosch - Bosch Review by Gary Hill Bosch is an odd beast. The music is incredibly free-form and experimental. It’s not really my cup of tea to be honest.
Paul Cusick - Focal Point Review by Gary Hill I like this album a lot. It’s rather moody progressive rock that gets pretty crunchy. It’s very atmospheric.
Eloy - Visionary Review by Gary Hill Eloy is one of those legendary bands from the 1970’s.
Engineers - Three Fact Fader Review by Gary Hill People can talk all they want about modern music versus old sounds. They can also talk about the evils of the big corporate record labels in the day versus the whole do it yourself approach.
Genesis - Genesis Review by Greg Olma Say what you will, Genesis would not have grown to the heights they achieved if Peter Gabriel was fronting them.
The Mike Glendinning Band - The Mike Glendinning Band Review by Gary Hill Perhaps this isn’t actually progressive rock, but I think the argument to put it in that category is stronger than the argument not to put it there.
Izz - The Darkened Room Review by Gary Hill I haven’t heard an Izz album in quite a few years. I have to say, the band has done nothing but get better in that time.
Mask - Technopia Review by Gary Hill It’s still early and this is possibly the first 2010 disc I’ve heard – in fact, I’m pretty sure it is (since I often get discs weeks before release it's hard to be positive).
Miriodor - Avanti! Review by Scott Montgomery If you are an avant-leaning prog-head and not previously heard of Miriodor, let me be the first to welcome you back to the surface from whatever rock you have been residing under!
Dale Nickey - Time Takes No Prisoners Review by Gary Hill This EP is intriguing. It’s got an interesting blend of progressive rock and psychedelic flavors, with a few other things thrown into the mix here and there.
NQ3 - Dot.Two Review by Gary Hill The music here is based in a motif that’s very much in keeping with old school prog rock.
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut Review by Gary Hill This was the last Pink Floyd release to feature Roger Waters. In sequence it was the disc directly after The Wall.
Queensrÿche - Promised Land Review by Gary Hill Just to make things clear, I don’t think Queensryche is a progressive rock band. Nor would I put many of their discs into that category.
Shadow Circus - Whispers and Screams Review by Gary Hill When I reviewed Shadow Circus’ debut I remarked how I wished that lead singer and band founder David Bobick would unlearn all his musical theater techniques.
Transatlantic - The Whirlwind Review by Scott Montgomery From the very beginning, I felt a sense of recognition, as SMPT:E is conjured.
Unicorn - Blue Pine Trees Review by Gary Hill Much like the other Unicorn reissue reviewed this time around, I nearly put this one in the “non-prog” category.
Unicorn - Too Many Crooks Review by Gary Hill I started off with this set to go in the non-prog category. Sure, it was produced by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour. He does play on one track.
Vanishing Point - The Fourth Season Review by Gary Hill I’m not sure why, but I set this disc aside for a while. I remember thinking that it was fairly generic epic metal.
The Wishing Tree - Ostara Review by Gary Hill Ostara is the new album from The Wishing Tree. The duo is Steve Rothery (of Marillion) and Hannah Stobart.
Yes - Re (Union) Review by Gary Hill When Yes released Union it was a hodgepodge sort of album.
Metal/Prog Metal CD Reviews
Age of Evil - Get Dead EP Review by Gary Hill This EP shows an intriguing sound from an interesting band. The group seems to flirt around with a lot of different sounds including classic metal, nu-metal, hardcore, thrash and even technical metal.
Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer Review by Gary Hill This album saw Dio return to the Black Sabbath fold after a decade away.
Charetta - Defying the Inevitable Review by Gary Hill The whole concept of a female driven heavy rock band has become a bit of a cliché in recent years. It’s just plain overdone.
Papa Roach - Metamorphosis Review by Gary Hill It would be pretty easy to dismiss Papa Roach just based on the fact that they come from the same sort of school of nu-metal and alternative rock that a lot of really lame acts hail out of.
Audioscam - Abbattack Review by Gary Hill Let’s take a bunch of Abba songs and do them in an almost metal motif. Who in the world would have ever thought of that idea?
Blondie - Parallel Lines Review by Gary Hill It would be easy to dismiss Blondie as a glossy hit machine. It would also be inaccurate and an injustice.
City Boy - It’s Personal Review by Gary Hill There was definitely a lot of progressive rock built into the pop music of the late 1970’s and City Boy is a fine example of that.
David Fagin - For Promotional Use Only Review by Gary Hill First off, let’s address the title. I get a lot of CD’s marked that way, so it caught me by surprise as a title.
Holloway - Illusions Review by Gary Hill This rocker is a great example of something that almost fits into every category the site has. Parts of this are metal – no question about it.
Network - Network / Nightwork Review by Gary Hill Perhaps this is the first time you heard of Network. The band should have been huge, but something went wrong.
Phoenix - Phoenix / In Full View Review by Gary Hill So, you say you haven’t heard of Phoenix? Well, I bet you’ve heard the band that these three guys (John Verity, Bob Henrit and Jim Rodford) were in just before Phoenix.
Pocket - Five Single EP’s Review by Gary Hill Pocket is Richard Jankovich and here he’s released a set of several cuts featuring different singers.
Sue Quigley - Perfect Chaos Review by Gary Hill Based in a female singer songwriter rock sound, this is quite a good album. Nothing here is earth-shattering or exceedingly original, but it’s all strong.
Stacie Rose - Shotgun Daisy Review by Gary Hill I like this album. I wouldn’t say I’m completely ecstatic about it, or that it’s the most original think I’ve heard, but it’s quite good.
7dayBinge - 7dayBinge Review by Gary Hill Those who like retro rock – of the stoner, hard edged bluesy variety – will love this album.
Teddy Thompson - Up Front and Down Low Review by Gary Hill Somehow I overlooked this CD when I first got it. I think it’s because I just gave a short listen and heard the seriously old time country music texture and got turned away.
War Tapes - The Continental Divide Review by Gary Hill Fans of ‘80’s music will certainly like this disc. It feels like it could have come from that era – although there are some more modern sounds, too.
Michael Jackson - The Life And Times Of The King Of Pop 1958 – 2009 DVD Review by G. W. Hill I guess my biggest problem with this DVD is the title. This isn’t really a comprehensive documentary of Michael Jackson’s life at all. Instead it begins with the 911 call and then moves to coverage of the memorial service.
Kansas - There’s Know Place Like Home DVD Review by Greg Olma I can’t believe that Kansas is 35 years old.I remember first getting Leftoverture when it came out and that is 33 years ago.
