Animals as Leaders reeks of awesomeness.  It's just so crazy.Cool
 
I've never heard of  Karcius.  I'll have to check them out.  That description sounds pretty sweet.

anyone heard "animals as leaders"? their self-tittled album is a good one!

also, anyone into Karcius? i love their 3 albums so far, its so fusionesque with some prog metals riff splashed here and then.

I love it, it hit me like a brick wall and blew me away completely. Whether it has lasting appeal however is something different entirely...

If this is what you like, give a look to Wigwam and the great Pekka Pohjola.

It would be interesting to have a topic about songs that talk about music, songs, instruments, etc...

I noticed a few days ago that it's really not that hard to headbang to Meshuggah.  Thomas Haake almost always drums in an even time signature like 4/4, while the guitars do something radical like 25/16 or something, and both eventually meet up after a couple of measures.  You can headbang to the drums pretty easily and still end up following the rhythm of the guitars.

There.  That's my random prog thought of the day Rawks

Signals is their least campiest album and probably the one Rush album I listen to most. The only other one I listen to just as much is Hemispheres mostly for La Villa

Am I the only one who imagines how much funnier many thread titles here would be if "Prog" was changed to "Frog"?
 
For April Fool's, someone needs to make a mock FrogArchives front page, with reviews of various species, a list of 100 most popular frogs and various genre tabs (Archaeobatrachia, Mesobatrachia, Neobatrachia etc), a blog entry about whether toads should be included on the site etc and replace the real one with it for a few hours.
