The Anatomy Of (2006)


The one and only cover album by the very diverse prog band from North Carolina. Bands covered include Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Mötley Crüe, Counting Crows, Queen, and Soundgarden.

Caught with this virus of my mind.

01011001 (2008)


Yet another installment in the long running Ayreon progressive metal saga, which spans three albums before this one. (Knowledge of the preceding albums is not required.)

We are dying for tomorrow, we are living for today.

Six Degrees (2002)


A double progressive metal album from one of the genre's best bands, the first disc deals with major lifetime struggles, while the second disc is a single suite about six individuals with various mental disorders. (Bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, post-partum depression, autism, and dissociative personality disorder specifically.)

Shame and disgrace over mental unrest keeps us from saving those we love.

Focus (1993)


One of the premier progressive death metal bands' first album, and an impressive work as well. (This is the remaster from 2004.)

To love without fear and learn without question.
