Many of our more recent Extended Play Lounge Episodes have featured classic albums from the 1980s and before. This time, I'm interested in listening to a great Prog or Prog/Metal album from the first decade of the 21st century. Here's five options to choose from! 

Pick your favorite from these options!

So far, the result mirrors the relative popularity of the bands

Anthony Taylor

All great choices. By any chance will PT be the vinyl edition? What Happens Now? is a MUST spin =)

Dave Brockis

I enjoy all sorts of music, but these bands just don't float my boat, so no vote from me. I will give the extended play lounge a listen, because you never know, tastes change.

Some fantastic choices this time around. Had to throw my vote behind Spock's Beard even though it's an underdog at this point.

Christopher Arters (relative timeworx - Mr.A)

PTree fan since... well... pretty much before anyone knew who PTree was and gotta say, the pick from this list has to be SNOW. Neither Fear nor Snow represents the best of either band's catalog, but regardless of what history says, Snow was the last SB album and merits special treatment.

You have to add King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard's 4th album of their 5 album 2017 run, Polygondwanaland. It is a modern prog rock masterpiece!

Jim Reeves

Snow gets my vote. Love Opeth, but Doug's done some of this album already. Still no Doug love for EPICA, though they belong on this list IMO. And if death metal is an option, why not some Septicflesh???

Daniel Andrews

Would’ve preferred Pain of Salvation “BE”. All great choices though!

This is a tough one all fantastic records

Toby

This is a tough choice!

Porky Tree for me! A landmark album that I've been hoping would eventually get the Doug Treatment. If Steven Wilson had written no other song than "Anesthetize" he would still be a Prog legend. Gavin Harrison is thrilling, as always.

It’s a good variation, with some leaning towards the more heavy side (Opeth). On this vote I went with PT 👍🏻
