Well it's easily their worst and is huge step in the wrong direction and it has me worried that they're gonna go down the same path so many prog metal bands go down. Either way, I'm pretty done with the whole prog scene.
I kinda want them to do one more full US headlining tour (maybe An Evening With?), playing stuff from their discography, and then just take a break for a year or two. And hopefully be able to come back full throttle.
Either way, I'm pretty done with the whole prog scene.
I find this very interesting. I feel the same way. With exception of a few artists I am no longer interested in prog either.
But the majority of metalheads at my school view prog as the holy grail of music, only listening to bands labelled "prog", only playing and writing "prog", proclaiming that anything remotely "progressive" in nature is good (even things that really arent prog). Yet I feel that it has become dreadully generic, boring, and wankery as a genre.
