notes for the 2023 prog rock list. most of this stuff doesn't matter but i feel a need to point it out
the link provided is an unofficial playlist for the deluxe version of this album as the official one does not have all of the songs and most of the ones it does have are shortened versions, the videos listed within the playlist are official though. the album version that i listened to for this list was the deluxe version but i am not including the last two songs in the ranking as they are just single versions of songs already in the album.
there is an exclusive song if you buy the album on bandcamp, which i did. however because the song is an exclusive it is not considered in the the ranking.
only the first 4 songs on the bandcamp list were considered when ranking this album as the last two are just bonus tracks. though the main frontman for the band Antony Kalugin considers the album to only have 2 main songs and 4 bonus tracks, the official youtube playlist has the first 4 songs listed. the final 2 tracks are just shorter versions of the 2 main songs anyway whereas tracks 3 and 4 are more distinct.
unsure of whether or not to include this as it only contains two (2) songs, one of which is a remastered version of a song that the band released in 2015. i typically do not include bonus/remastered songs in albums that i listen to for the list, but if i don't include the remastered song from this ep then i'm judging a single instead of an album. there are a number of albums that consist of only one (1) song, but they usually last over 40 minutes. for now i am including this album with the remastered song.
this album was actually released on april 2019 but re-released on january 2023. i am placing the album on this list instead of the 2019 one because the 2019 version seems to have been taken down/replaced with the 2023 version. there is a spotify playlist that claims to be the 2019 version but as i don't have a spotify account i can't play it.
