C Duncan - Architect (2015)
I was really looking forward to this album after reading about it and hearing a few singles. I was perhaps anticipating even more because it never showed up on Spotify or anywhere else I could easily check it out, and I always seem to want what I can't have more than the things I can have. Anyway, finally found a download and put it on while commuting this morning. It started off good but it soon all became a bit sappy. The final track was practically a lullaby. I may give it another shot in the future but for now, I'm disappointed.

Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase (2015)

Eurgh. What a boring album this is. I don't get any joy from this kind of prog at all. Nothing particularly interesting happens, and it's just so fucking clean.

Found it strange that there wasn't a thread to talk about albums you've heard recently and didn't enjoy. There's a thread for albums that you are digging, why not one for those that you aren't?

Personally, I found the new Bloc Party album Hymns to be a total flop. Not sure why I expected anything else than that though, since the band has hit a serious decline since their first two albums.

I'm a big Dream Theater fan, but this is bloated beyond imagination without the hooks and cool ideas that make all their best material such a joy. As a prog fan, even I recognize unnecessary excess.

With a cover like that it's not hard to imagine what music accompanies it. 2016 is turning out to be one the worst years of metal album covers.

It's not like metal, especially progmetal, is famous for its tasteful, classy covers anyway...
