| Digs Of The Current
This is a list of albums that have been occupying much of my time recently. | | 1 |  | Isis
Panopticon
This album is just massive and full of all sorts of emotion. Really lifts you to another plane when you're focusing on only what is happening in the music. | | 2 |  | Isis
Wavering Radiant
I've only spun it once, but it was one of the rare occasions where I was thoroughly pleased upon first listen. In my eyes it kind of takes the more cryptic pleasures of Panopticon and puts it in a more accessible format. | | 3 |  | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas...
I've never encountered an album that made me want to shed a tear and conquer all of life's challenges all at once. Wonderful stuff. | | 4 |  | Regina Spektor
Begin to Hope
The album didn't flow as smoothly as I'd hoped, but I'll be damned if this girl hasn't carved out a little spot in my memory. | | 5 |  | Dream Theater
Awake
Talk about a diamond in the rough. This album seems to get little to no recognition as far as their discography goes, but I think it may have jumped directly to the top of my "Best of Dream Theater" list. | | 6 |  | Earth
Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I
This is music I could do almost anything to. Relax, think, work, etc. It really has a lot more to offer than what it may seem at first. | | 7 |  | Light Bearer
Lapsus
Honestly one of the most rewarding purchases of recent years. It's a rarity that I can find the opportunity to say this, but this is damn near being without flaw. | | 8 |  | fun.
Some Nights
At first I really despised the "poppier" tone they went for with this album, but after dozens of spins it really grew on me. There is a lot to take from this. | | 9 |  | Andrew Jackson Jihad
Knife Man
Actually a pretty emotional experience. He sings from such a melancholy perspective on everything, but it's easy to relate to. Nothing is sugar coated, and some of it border downright disturbing. A wonderful release. | | 10 |  | The Contortionist
Intrinsic
A definite improvement upon 'Exoplanet', in my eyes. A really progressive approach this time around, and despite that overused guitar tone I think these guys are really beginning to find themselves. | | 11 |  | Haken
Visions
The musicianship and general flow of this album is just beyond admirable. The progressive wankery is used so tastefully. | | 12 |  | Rosetta
A Determinism of Morality
Just a massive record with a lot to offer. Such a cohesive sound. | |

08.19.12 | Yeah, 1 rules hard and 5 is almost best Dream Theater (joint 2nd with Train of Thought, SFAM is 1st) | jungletiger
08.19.12 | Agreed about 1, although i don't feel like the album holds up after the first 3 epic songs. The rest of the album is still great though. | JohnnyoftheWell
08.19.12 | So Did We and In Fiction are great, true, but Grinning Mouths has always been my fave and Syndic Calls is awesome. Can't go wrong with it though | jungletiger
08.19.12 | Yea word, great album. As is oceanic. | JohnnyoftheWell
08.19.12 | Must get Oceanic | jungletiger
08.19.12 | You never listened? Its so awesome and much heavier than panopticon | JohnnyoftheWell
08.19.12 | Much heavier? Sounds awesome, I loved how they were heavier on Celestial (which I know is different, but still) | jungletiger
08.19.12 | Yeah i'd say its celestial and panopticon combined | JohnnyoftheWell
08.19.12 | Sounds like a boss, don't know when I'll get it, but am looking forward to it | Rastapunk
08.19.12 | Earth is awesome! | BugZoid
08.19.12 | I am inclined to agree about the first 3 songs on Panopticon. I love the album as a whole, but the first half does seem a bit stronger than the latter. | MoosechriS
08.19.12 | aint jammed 1 in ages, might have to go and put it on |
