Thats a nice list you've got there Peace Sells...surprised to see PT missing...not even deadwing? In fact I missed them too...and now I wanna add Deadwing to my list...

Since you've got Keeper of the Seven Keys in your list, I gotta ask you this Q...how do you find the quality of the record? I have had 3 copies of the album including an original cassette release. I've always found the mastering a bit lacking...especially on the vocals...they seem to be held back. There is something missing...

Well..These 20-25 albums are not the only ones that I adore I was wondering where to put PT. Prog rock or metal..and that confusion I think I forgot. If I have to pick a PT album I'd pick Fear of a Blank Planet..In Absentia & Deadwing a close 2nd & 3rd.

Are you talking about the mixing of the album? Or what I think about the album as a whole?

To be honest I haven't listened to this album for quite sometime..But I don't remember anything wrong with the vocals...like they were lacking volume or they were not in your face (is that what you mean by 'they seem to be held back'?).. I have it on CD. Looking for the vinyl.
