Antimatter - The Judas Table

np: Magnum - Here Comes The Rain

I also listened to that one, but unfortunately it didn't stick. Nothing memorable, at least for me.
I am no Magnum expert. In fact, I only know about them because of Bob Catley (through Jabberwocky, Hound Of The Baskervilles and Ayreon). I bought "Lost On The Road To Eternity" a couple of years ago. I thought that album was really good actually! But subsequent albums were a bit of a let down. (But never bad.)
Tony Clarkin, guitarist and founder of Magnum, died on the 7th of January this year. A week before the release of "Here Comes The Rain". Sad...
2024 has only just begun, so plenty of time to retry this album. Maybe it will click with me later.

Now listening to:
Emerald City Council - "Motion Carries"

Actually, not bad! Jake Livgren, nephew of Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren, is the singer. He is pretty good. I knew him from Neal Morse's albums ("Jesus Christ: The Exorcist", "The Dreamer - Joseph: Part One" and "The Restoration - Joseph: Part Two"). The drummer is Noah Hungate, son of Toto's first bass player. So, Toto + Kansas = Emerald City. Heh, clever...
It sounds a little bit like those bands, but not too much. Nice one to check out and I will definitely listen again!

Today:
Moon Safari - Himlabacken Vol. 2
The Pineapple Thief - Dissolution
Neal Morse - Life & Times
Neal Morse - The Dreamer ~ Joseph: Part One

np: Magnum - Here Comes The Rain

I guess you are more than positive about the album Teunis?

Heard it once and have the same feeling as you. The songs are sounding a bit the same. But maybe it'll grow .

pp:
Anathema - Distant Satellites
Neal Morse - The Restoration ~ Joseph: Part Two
Moon Safari - Himlabacken Vol. 2

np: Moon Safari - Lover's End

Today I listened to:
Edward Reekers - "The Liberty Project"
Damian Wilson & Adam Wakeman - "Can We Leave The Light On Longer?"
Neal Morse - "The Dreamer - Joseph: Part One"
Neal Morse - "The Restoration - Joseph: Part Two"

I was positively surprised by Edward Reekers' new album! I will listen to it more. It has an Ayreon feel in some places, but more easy on the ears.

Also, Wilson & Wakeman's album was pleasant, but not phenomenal. But I will definitely listen again as well. Some pretty songs here and there.

Both Morse albums work really well in a Spotify playlist listening to it in one big two hours and twenty minutes session. I hope there will be a live version with costumes and the whole shebang.

Today:
Lonely Robot - A Model Life
The Pineapple Thief - Introducing ... (Compilation)
Neal Morse - The Restoration ~ Joseph: Part Two

np: Damian Wilson & Adam Wakeman - Can We Leave The Light On Longer?

WHOM GODS DESTROY - In The Name Of War

pp: Neal Morse - The Restoration ~ Joseph: Part Two

I agree with you PH, played it twice and I already like it more than part one.

np: Moon Safari - Himlabacken Vol. 2

On Spotify, ordered it yesterday. Can't wait to hear it on my stereo system . 

Last week up till today I've been listening to these:

Moon Safari - "Himlabacken, Vol. 2"
I think this is the best album that I've listened to in 2023 (and 2024).

Psychotic Waltz - "The God-Shaped Void"
It's actually better than I remember! It has a psychedelic element to it. Very dreamy heavy metal. Sounds weird, but that's how I feel it.

The Flower Kings - "Islands"
A very pretty album. Nice melodies. A bit slow, maybe.

Karfagen - "Birds Of Passage"
Also better than I remember. I can hum along to most of it, which is a good sign most of the time.

Genesis - "Calling All Stations"
I suddenly found out it's finally (back) on Spotify. Still a good album with a very underused Ray Wilson.

Turbulence - "Frontal"
Amazing album! Reminds me a lot of Haken. I think they will release a new album this year. They've already released a new single, which is also a really nice one. Shocked to see they have only 1023 listeners per month.

Neal Morse - "The Restoration (Joseph: Part 2)"
Very pleasantly surprised. Part 1 wasn't bad either, but this one is even better and has some really cool songs and cool guests as well (Ross Jennings). I just listened to it once, but already blown away by My Dream and Dreamer In The Jailhouse on first listen.

AVKRVST - "The Approbation"
Thanks to positive reviews, I tried this one. Still on my first listen, but I like what I hear. Sounds like an Opeth/Porcupine Tree clone. I'll probably listen to it more.
