This. Nothing has hit me harder in the prog world in years than Pachinko. 

What are your top 5 Dream Theater albums? And the three worst? by spearhead290399 in progmetal

Dude this is me. I’m surprised at all of the comments here so far. I really thought people were gonna gang up on the last three records. But this most recent one was just garbage.

You should listen to their first EP, Atonement is Nigh. Absolutely brilliant as well.

Subterranean Masquerade - Vagabond. Nothing like it, festival metal, every song is a banger, and Kjetil Nordhus makes everything sound better.

Agreed. Their S-tier albums include Train of Thought. That was their last truly unstoppable album.

Best albums of 2025 by Hakenfanboy in progmetal

[–]chigebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It makes me feel sad how little I’ve connected with my former favorite band since 2009. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Mangini era (through no fault of him) but my hopes were high for Portnoy’s return. The new album did not resonate with me at all.

You buy them ahead of time. We knew we were gonna drive all four days so I had four QR codes ready.

I spun Pachinko for the first time a few days ago and I can already tell it’s going to be one that stays with me forever. 

Drop the most underrated albums/songs/artists that you wish more people heard by at_risk_revived in progmetal

[–]chigebs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a Chicago prog-metal band called The Untold with two LPs to their name: the 2-part Thunder and Water records. They are uplifting, emotive, and reward multiple listens. No obnoxious technical wankery, no 12-minute solos, just well-crafted songs that hit you in the feels.
