Just realised that the final track on Dream Theater's new album is just Nightman

#4 Beardfish - Songs For Beating Hearts
Get it out of the way: Ecotone (Reprise) = Teletubbies theme. As well as Dipsy,clearly they are fans of Genesis,but there's lots of originality here too, incl. a couple of prog epics
Favourite Track: Torrential Downpour

#5 Leprous - Melodies Of Atonement
Einar's voice is on top form through this; synths,guitars,drums all working to push vocals to the fore.The album builds on the 2 that came before,but with elements of darkness really brought front & centre
Fav Track: Unfree My Soul

#7 Amy Shark-Sunday Sadness
I really liked this one.Two Friends is a song about two friends getting together,Can I Shower At Yours is about fancying someone,My Only Friend is about being at a shit party with shit people.Relatable pop songs.
Fav Track:Babe

#8 Jon Anderson-True
An 80yo bloke made the 8th best album of '24?With that cover?I think so.It sounds like Yes so it's prog w/o being progressive.But it's great.Or maybe it's just average but I was expecting much worse because of the cover?Either way it's worked.

#10 Steve Hackett - The Circus&The Nightwhale
The guy who made those great albums in the 70s has made a great solo one in 2024, not as good as his first but that one IS a classic. Some great tunes here and a great album overall, with a loose concept.
Fav Track: Ghost Moon and Living Love t.ly/OX8RV

Albums of the year #12
Opeth - The Last Will and Testament
The second of my top 15 to feature the flute, the story is not easy to follow unless you read the lyrics, but a great album which isn't light on the prog despite the growls. My favourite track: §2

My 2024 albums of the year
#15 Bobbie Dazzle - Fandabidozi
It's kind of glam rock and kind of prog. She plays the flute. Lots of bangers, and the run from track 7-9 is outstanding. My favourite track is Antique Time Machine

2024: The ones that didn't quite make the cut, maybe because I decided not to include live albums or reissues, or maybe because they didn't quite crack my top 15.

My son doesn't know Owen Grady's name from Jurassic World but because one of his 'powers' in the game is looking through dinosaur droppings, he has started calling him "poo man" and I think that's funny enough not to correct him
