The Alan Parsons Project turn Edgar Allan Poe into gothic rock theater. Vocoders, storms, and vintage horror across a fog-drenched debut that still knows how to conjure a mood.

The Alan Parsons Project trade Poe's ghosts for Asimov's gears. A sleek, cinematic concept record about a machine waking up, and one that only sounds more relevant with age.

The Alan Parsons Project's most socially aware record, a 1979 concept album about womanhood and the roles women are made to play. Bold, polished, and still relevant.

The Alan Parsons Project's slickest, most commercial record, a gambling concept album about the risks we all take. Home to Games People Play and the ballad Time, and their first 5-star.

The Alan Parsons Project's commercial peak and maybe their magnum opus. Surveillance, isolation, and the Sirius-into-title-track run that everyone knows even if they don't know it.

Urban decay, societal decline, and one of the greatest songs ever written. The Alan Parsons Project's 1984 record deserves far more respect than it gets.

Greed, corruption, and the hunger for power, set to mid-80s polish. The Alan Parsons Project's most underrated record, and one that deserves way more credit than it gets.

The streak ends here. A transitional, scattered ninth record with a killer title track and not much holding the rest together.

The Alan Parsons Project's swan song, built around the architect Antoni Gaudí. Grand, cinematic, and a graceful way to close out one of prog's great runs.
