Gonna try and stump for at least one album a day, lord knows I have plenty. My highest-priority progressive metal album is Dream Theater's When Dream and Day Unite, as much to rectify their near-complete absence from the 90s as because it goes hard. The thing about this album is it's widely disparaged by Dream Theater fans, which means some of you, not being Dream Theater fans, may enjoy it. It's much more raw and live than their later work, has a genuine scrappy energy, and I'd say it's decidedly better than quite a lot of their overproduced work this millennium.
