>>74986719
I was just relistening to this, I'm on Perpetual Change and the whole album is way better than I remember! Originally thought just Starship Trooper and Your Move were the only good tracks.

I Don't think so sweetie.

Never trust an addict, their brains are being controlled and they will stop short of nothing to protect their precious addiction.

Good music, regardless of the lyrical themes or your position on its themes can simply good music. You can't just deny that something is musically good just because it has lyrical themes that you disagree with. But the fact is that there IS no good druggie music. It is ALL based on their cancer-brained druglaced psuedo spiritual BULLSHIT and I don't like it. Oh its a taste thing right? NO. The music just flat out SUCKS! I don't want to hear some gay ass hippie telling me how WICKED COOL he is because he burned some shityt little plant and breathed it in. Big whoop! Let me know when Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky and the other greats of old took drugs just to write good music. Use your brains kids, not your garden.

And before you stoners even THINK about replying to me...
This is the only reply you'll ever get you drug addicted freak, and you're lucky for it. Go impose your destructive drug ideas on someone else. How about you turn yourself into the police, "friend"?

>>74991743
I have but damn it's been pretty long. I gotta relisten to it. It's definitely 10/10 prog folk. To be honest I think it's better than Jethro Tull, if we could compare em since they're both prog folk

>>74991801
It's really amazing, I definitely think it's better than Jethro, even though a lot of people will hate me for saying that.

Oh you have to listen to it! It's in my top 5 albums of all time! I love it so much I even use the cover art as a reaction image for other boards

Nothing I've ever heard really compares to it. There are these male vocals that are dark, twisted and perverted but at the same time they go in perfect harmony with the hauntingly enchanting female vocals. It's one the of the most beautiful and disturbing albums ever

>>74986221
I'm happy to see this here, the melancholic feeling that comes along with it for being the "last great prog album" of the era makes it even more impactful to me than the music alone. I also associate it with a really tough and isolating time of my life which I'm sure contributes to how much I love it.

>>74991973
>I love it so much I even use the cover art as a reaction image for other boards

Not my favourite, but has anyone listened to Fuchsia? I listened to it when it popped up in the recommended videos for First Utterance, it's really good.

>WHAAAT HAPPENEEED, TOO THIIISS SOONG, WEE OONCEE KNEEW SO WEEEEELLL?

Best Yes album with no doubt

Don't listen to these >>74993611
Most of them are lame modern prog

I can't choose between Porcupine Tree's 'Stupid Dream' and Opeth's 'Damnation'.

I have the Esoteric Recordings remaster. I will give it another listen soon.

good label btw for lesser known prog/proto-prog/psych and prog related

>>74991262
should've been posted earlier

>>74983370
What's with prog rock and weird organ fuckery
It's like an album isn't prog unless there's some weird WAHWAHWAHWERERERER keyboard bit going in the background at some point

>>74991630
Aurora - Fables
I know that's a lot, but it's totally worth it.

Some really nice albums posted.
Thanks guys.

>>74984401
Love both albums, but i personally prefer the longer and less punkrocky songs of Ftm.
Both great and both quoteable.
