Music in the 2010s was probably more predictable compared to the six previous decades. Truth is that during this time span no new great band on a global scale emerged and the releases were – more or less – a continuation of what preceded during the 00s.
Taking a look at what has been going on for the past 10 years, the rule of disappointment by the big names has been verified with some very brilliant exceptions, and the most encouraging element was the emergence of many new promising bands. The revival storm dominated, with successful results or exactly the opposite, originality was confined to experimental music, and the typical, “plastic” pretentiousness in the mainstream field shifted our attention even further to the underground scene.
But let’s stay on the positive side. During the last 10 years we enjoyed numerous magnificent releases which were added to our favorite albums, even though their mark is still fresh. Our preferences differed a lot once more. As a matter of fact, each one of us included, on average, nearly 13.8 unique albums. Apart from the value of the lists and the sorting of albums from most to least favourite, their importance, for all it’s worth, lies in the numerous different albums chosen, regardless of their ranking. Here you can find 303 listening suggestions, which are not limited to prog, but come largely from the undreground music scene of various genres.
So let the countdown of our 20 most favorite albums from the 2010s begin…
20. Leprous – The Congregation
With The Congregation, the Norwegians retain all the elements that made them recognizable, namely the low-distorted guitars, the complex rhythmic melodic choruses, the technical rhythm section, the accompanying keys, and the sad-meets-crazy voice of the singer. The production was once again great. Jens Borgen did his miracles with all the instruments sounding clear and loud, and Ihsahn contributed on vocals for the final result. It’s an album that goes on to the very high level where they had left off with Coal, a little more rock and thus a bit more mainstream, less prog in the old-fashioned sense of the word but more ‘progressive’ making other prog bands sound like they’re in a 90s loop.
– Giannis Voulgaris
19. Diagonal – The Second Mechanism
The first, self-titled album that preceded The Second Mechanism is one of those albums, which does not necessarily fit into a genre with specific limits, but does manage to regenerate the genre itself, even if it went relatively unnoticed. Thus, The Second Mechanism followed a masterpiece, on the same style and attitude, and continued to evolve the sound of Diagonal. With King Crimson’s ubiquitous teachings finding their expression, analogue and mastery in authentic vintage aesthetics to define the sound, fusion / jazz backgrounds give the band more freedom to experiment. Diagonal manage to deliver their influences with great success and let them wander and lead the way in their compositions, always in the logic of modern rendering of a timeless sound. A sound that, thanks to both of the first two Diagonal records, sounds progressive!
– Panos Papazoglou
18. Astra – The Black Chord
The second album by Astra landed magnificently, at the right time, in a thriving progressive rock scene and is still one of the flagships of the genre’s revival. What Americans are primarily able to do is present such an old musical style, with a freshness and – forgive me – a post-teens boner that transfuses a sense of “now” and “happening.” They also manage to find the golden section that joins progressive rock with space rock, and there is hardly any place on the record that the listener does not feel the echoes of British psychedelia in a way similar to the one felt in British early 70s progressive albums. The analog sound with which they were recorded is more than a perfect and definitely a product of many hours of work, a job that seems even more so on the sonwriting
– Kostas Barbas
17. Leprous – Bilateral
With Bilateral, Leprous showcase what they have in mind as a modern prog, a mix of keys, “thick” rhythm guitars and melodic vocals, but deconstructed and served completely different from anything that existed until then. That is because, truth be told, these three components were used extensively in progressive rock / metal without giving anything new. From the title track to Mb. Indifferentia and from Thorn to Painful Detour the album is so inspired and contains all the elements that made Leprous great. The melody play between Solberg’s voice and the keys, the tribal drums, the djenty – and yet not exactly – guitars, the ambient parts, all of which were used to the fullest in the subsequent recordings, were first played here and the result is magnificent. Bilateral is the album that imo balances perfectly between prog, atmosphere and aggression is till this day my favorite Leprous album. Masterpiece!
– Giannis Voulgaris
16. Alice in Chains – Rainier Fog
If Black Gives Way to Blue was one of the biggest comebacks of modern rock music history, if The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here stamped their new identity, then Rainier Fog is a unique record of a band in its second peak of artistic creation. In this album all the elements that characterize Alice in Chains are here, from the melancholic double vocals, the sickness, the vulnerability, the passion and the dependence that, as invisible forces, influence human psyche, the ethereal vocals and the huge guitar sound but with a difference. An evolution. It is their only record in which redemption takes place, the only album that is permeated with a sense of optimism and not an endless prolonged dead end. There is no first or second phase of the band. There is only the monolith called Alice in Chains and this is their most emphatic statement.
– Dimitris Anastasiadis
15. Alice In Chains – The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
If Black Gives Way to Blue was one of the greatest comebacks of the 21st century in rock music, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here is their underrated masterpiece, one that demonstrated the chemistry of DuVall’s association with the band and plunged them into unprecedented dark soundscapes. All the elements that characterize AIC are present here as in a musical kaleidoscope, from the acoustic elements Jar of Flies in Voices to the rock elegy of Stone which would easily have a place in Dirt, all magnified by the perfect production of Nick Raskulinecz who creates a catacomb atmosphere. This is one of the band’s most politicized and quality moments, gloomy and slow-paced with flamboyant riffs, an album that grows within you as the time separates you from its last listen, a gigantic grower, a statement that none of their records sounds the same as any other, that they are really unable to write a mediocre piece, that it is the low-key greatest band on the globe.
– Dimitris Anastasiadis
14. Seven Impale – City of the Sun
Seven Impale incorporate all of the elements that make a modern progressive rock album a success, using the right proportions. The British progressive rock tradition is, in principle, the basis on which the band builds its vision. But Seven Impale don’t stay here. Throughout the album, an avant-prog wind blows, but avoids endless experimentation and makes direct references to Zappa. The way the saxophone, Hammond and the guitars pop out at the same time, complemented by the perfect analogy of their excellent production, is the highlight of the album. The band has managed a total blend of progressive rock structures and classic RIO melody repetitions with tonal or even tone changes, in an almost persistent heavy landscape. From their debut Seven Impale are already on high peaks, having managed to marry their youthful excitement with an unmatched maturity and in-depth knowledge of progressive music.
– Kostas Barbas
13. Nova Collective – The Further Side
Nova Collective’s technιcal approach is clear as it moves safely on either jazz, rock or prog metal tracks. The compositions are characterized by a high level of technique with no trace of verbosity, consisting of phrases which unfold in a cinematic manner stepping on jazz, classical and ethnic sounscapes that deliver a full, pluralistic orchestration and an unparalleled purity of production. All of the above elements weave the veil of The Further Side which after the characteristic embarrassment of the first listen (executive ability impresses first) becomes ever better as the decoding of the music content becomes ever more enjoyable. Most impressive of all is the emerging dynamics of Nova Collective as a band. This is a very promising figure of young talented musicians who seem capable of creating their own musical status and aesthetics in order to gain a unique place in the consciousness of high-demand listeners.
– Ilias Goumagias
12. Mastodon – The Hunter
History wrote that the retreat and gradual decline of the sludge metal element in Mastodon’s music was the decisive factor to gain a much wider audience and establish themselves as a global force in rock music. In The Hunter the variety of stimuli and directions is more evident than ever in the history of the quartet from Atlanta. The connecting element of almost all tracks is the simplest of structures and the emphasis on simpler songwriting with a fairly predictable pattern. The risk was crowned with success and tracks such as Black Tongue, Curl of the Burl, Stargasm, All the Heavy Lifting, Spectrelight, The Sparrow became instant classics. This was the first time the band created and based on the members’ – well-known – humor and the success of the band is a testament to how great they are. The informal tributes to QOTSA, the Beatles, Sabbath and Floyd are part of Mastodon’s greatness and according to many of their fans, The Hunter is the best album of their career.
– Dimitris Kaltsas
11. Haken – The Mountain
Haken shook the waters of progressive metal with The Mountain in 2013. The craftsmanship of all of them combined with the desire to incorporate heterogeneous elements and influences as well as their compositional inspiration led to an album that they never be able to overcome (we hope they will of course). Dream Theater and their peaks are the foundations of Haken’s sound, but unlike their spiritual fathers, they have dared to incorporate successful jazz and fusion melodies as well as non-obvious prog rock influences and were not afraid to enter a field that only few metal bands have dared to pass. A good inclusion of all of the above is Cockroach King (you can even hear Gentle Giant polyphonies here). A record that placed Haken among the greats of their time and at the same time made a great hope for the future of the genre.
– Tasos Poimenidis
10. Goat – World Music
If it has become clear over the past decade that rock music can survive artistically mainly through the reconstruction and reinvention of its already known patterns, then World Music is a prime example of a psychedelic rock restatement. The death of rock mythology in the 90s, when the kids next door became the young rock (anti)heroes, forced many young musicians to construct their own mythological framework as a vehicle of their musical proposition. Thus, somewhere in Sweden, the kids next door were transformed through their masks and costumes into members of a voodoo heresy, launching an in-depth study of the rock ‘n’ roll primordial power and Dionysian ecstasy, knitting psychedelic rock with afrobeat and traditional African music and demonstrating the black continent as the birthplace of all. World Music is the most focused and at the same time the most original psychedelic record of the last 40 years. Hence, the best.
– Kostas Barbas
09. Wobbler – From Silence To Somewhere
The compositions are so well thought out and demanding that they definitely required hard work to structure and reach such a high level. The only change in the lineup concerns the position of the guitarist, as Morten Andreas Eriksen, a founding member, was replaced by Geir Marius Bergom Halleland. Strange as it may seem, the arrival of the new exceptional guitarist brought a refreshing air to the band. Some other elements I would like to point out are the excellent production that highlights the entire arsenal of the Norwegians, as well as the partial weaning from the Yes elements that dominated in Rites At Dawn, investing much more in the legacy of King Crimson and Gentle Giant. Although all band members play to the fullest of their abilities, I’d like to focus a little more on their bassist Kristian Karl Hultgren and his full, a la Chris Squire playing. Wobbler gave us not only their best record, but also one of the prog peaks of the 2010s.
– Paris Gravouniotis
08. Motorpsycho & Ståle Storløkken – The Death Defying Unicorn
In 2012, Motorpsycho were already well-known, always with a unique passion and quality marking their releases since the 90’s with garage and alternative origins, but as they matured in the 00’s, progressive trends found the ideal meeting point with jazz resulting in a fruitful ambitious masterpiece. The collaboration with renowned Norwegian jazz musician Ståle Storløkken in The Death Defying Unicorn left its mark on the decade, as well as for promising future partnerships. This album is a landmark of the contemporary prog scene, flawless, always under the seal of so creative band. Improvisations and 60’s psychedelic references refer to the “organized disorder” of strings and open new paths to Motorpsycho. It had been a decade before their collaboration with the amazing Jaga Jazzist, but their journey after this double epic album led to other magnificent releases (e.g. The Tower).
– Panos Papazoglou
07. Agusa – Högtid
Analogue production may have come back for good and now most bands are approaching their sound this way, but in the case of these Swedes, the aesthetics of the whole venture are incomparable. Agusa honor the 70’s spirit in the best way possible, and it is clear that, whatever the timing of the album, they would do it in exactly the same way, with the same religious devotion. Agusa’s debut is a time machine made up of five fascinating song titles. The whole situation feels like it is unfolding in a forest: a fairy-tale psych-prog-folk jog in a Swedish forest, where the sound of the hammond dominates imposingly, often dense, fluttering with the guitar, reminiscent Focus. Agusa stand worthy of their height and honor their country’s prog heritage by pressing on Scandinavian notes and melodies, both fairytale and epic, while folk and krautrock elements add extra weight to the album.
– Ilias Goumagias
06. Änglagård – Viljans Öga
When news broke in 2012 that Änglagård would be releasing a new album after 18 whole years, prog fans from all over the world were eagerly awaiting for the absolute 3/3 after the masterpieces Hybris and Epilog. However, not even the most optimistic fans were expecting such a great record as Viljans Öga. A top, sophisticated symphonic prog album, with the technical and intricate parts alternating with heavenly tunes and darker atmospheres, and with the guidance of the surgical precision of the rhythm section, the mellotron carpets are set up for the quotes of flute and guitar to be drawn. Ur Vilande, Sorgmantel, Snårdom and Langtans Klocka are four compositions that if recorded in the 70s, today they would be mentioned as some of the finest prog epics of that legendary decade. For many, including myself, Viljans Öga is the ultimate progressive rock album of the 2010s.
– Paris Gravouniotis
05. Atlanter – Vidde
I doubt if Jens Carelius and Arild Hammerø (guitar & vocals) had planned what we heard on Vidde when they fisrt formed Atlanter in Oslo. And this is because their songs, compositionally and executively, exude freedom and vitality, unusual for today. And so is the quality of their music, which they liken to a call to dance around the fire. The dominant 60s psychedelia meets krautrock and the two are uniquely combined with folk, indie, gospel, and cinematic lyricism, all in a distinctly groovy desert blues wrapper (they call it “Viddeblues”), with a musical meeting point being the strikingly indistinguishable limit of the Wild West and the Far East. Although it is a substantially an experimental album, the listener forgets it easily because of the staggering compositional level, the rhythmic subtlety and unassuming positivity that all tracks emit. When Vidde is over, a smile is formed on your face. You feel a mental uplift and a pleasant tension. You danced around the fire too.
– Dimitris Kaltsas
04. Messenger – Illusory Blues
There are some elements that are criteria for success, acting as conditions of persuasion, and many of them are independent of music genres and subgenres. Such features are simplicity and sincerity, which impress from beginning to end in Illusory Blues, and are appreciated when every hearing is repeated over and over again. The power of the storytelling of music of Messenger (an element that Genesis had perfected in the 70s) impresses equally well on all tracks, most notably thanks to this ingenious change of balance between psych, prog and folk elements (which coexist everywhere), in combination with some modern, mainly structural, elements in certain songs. The incredibly high compositional level, the expressive straightforwardness, the utter absence of anxiety, and the ‘irritating’ ease with which the emotional identification of creators and listeners is achieved are rarely met today. Illusory Blues is not retro but a direct sequel to almost half a century of psych / prog / folk history in England.
– Dimitris Kaltsas
The style is not far from what the Norwegians play since 2010. Supergroovy heavy rock that sounds relentlessly psychedelic (what the average stoner band would like to do), but doesn’t stop being progressive rock almost throughout. This is their big achievement: perhaps this is the first time that progressive rock is so ‘rock’. The compositions also feature Floyd, as well as much of the American psychedelic tradition. The inclusion of psychedelia is also the reason why such carefully thoughtful pieces do not sound sterile or academic. Compositionally, The Tower touches perfection. A double album with not half a filler track, or rather no filler moment. With The Tower, Motorpsycho created the opposite of a Babel musical tower. In the tower of Motorpsycho, all races and genres come together, delivering a musical mosaic that every serious rock listener needs to hear. It is probably their best album since The Death Defying Unicorn. While it matures in our ears, it will probably gain the top spot on their discography. That is, 26 years after their debut…
– Kostas Barbas
02. David Bowie – Blackstar
Every man has a black star / A black star over his shoulder / And when a man sees his black star / He knows his time, his time has come, sang Elvis back in 1960. David Bowie knew it well. He knew he had cancer, he knew he would die soon. “I will make something great” he thought. “I wll mix NY jazz, krautrock, avant-garde with electonica elements and RnB, and combined with my British singer-songwriter dna, I will create a tremendous, insurmountable sonic print, purely experimental and simultaneously pop in the most absolute way. And then I will go.” And thus it happened. Is Blackstar Bowie’s best album? Possibly. What is certain is that it is the ultimate swan song of a unique, incompatible artist. It confirms the fact that all music “has now been played” and turns death into a matchless work of art, and its echo will be discussed for years.
– Ilias Goumagias
01. Steven Wilson – The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories)
The music Steven Wilson wrote in this abum is strictly progressive rock. In addition to the staggering production (perhaps the most anticipated element) and the stunning compositional balance at incredible heights, Wilson has proven himself to be a great orchestrator and leader here. He formed an enviable band and managed to direct his musicians to their maximum individual performance, but strictly within a team, without himself (or anyone else) in front. Nick Beggs, Marco Minnemann, Adam Holzman, Theo Travis and Guthrie Govan make up an ideal set of performers, with the latter playing more substantially than ever. Especially his solo in Drive Home will be referred to as a classic, as well as this album as a whole, at least for the prog rock genre.
