Let's take it one step at the time and try to get Knives Out! on PA seeing that they just released a new album. Thumbs Up

I'm a big fan as well. Oh well, it's a damned shame. Hopefully stuff changes.

I think it's time Admin had another look at this rule whereby a rejected band can only be re-evaluated if they release new material or get taken up by another sub genre team. There are obviously several cases where bands have been rejected by previous incarnations of the evaluation teams, and the vast majority of members expressing an opinion believe these rejections to have been in error. Dog Fashion Disco is one example, Coroner is another that cropped up only yesterday. I believe that if a completely new evaluation team is in place from the one that rejected the band initially, and the resolve of the members of that team is sufficiently strong to vote unanimously for the band to be added - then they should be allowed to do so. This is after all an archive site, and if the archives have gaps in the database due to 'errors' on the part of previous evaluation teams, then it isn't entirely fulfilling its role as an archive site. A procedure needs to be made available to us so that we can correct cases such as these without having to wait for new material to be released by the band/artist concerned, material which indeed may never be forthcoming.

I know I'm late. I just came here to post in the suggest bands and saw someone else did first. Then I saw they were rejected which shocked me greatly. LOL

I just can't fathom them being rejected. They are the textbook definition of proggy avant-garde metal.

You're a bit late to the party... but you're welcome nonetheless!

Please take the time and read the rest of this thread. Hopefully it will answer your question.

So a band that's basically the exact same is here and they aren't? That's...odd.

I just came to look at their ratings on the site and maybe rate 100% positive they'd be here and they aren't. Huh. Think that should be rethought for sure.

It's not funny at all, mr. Rune would have come to slit our throats had we voted against them LOL

That's a pretty big almost! LOL

Let's skip this discussion and hope that Knives Out will get added once their new record hits the streets! Thumbs Up

Edit: Oi, Rune, did you see this?

From wiki: "On June 25, 2011, at the second of two consecutive reunion shows, Dog Fashion Disco announced it will be releasing an acoustic album. This album will be released on their new record label, Razor To Wrist. Attendees of the reunion shows with VIP passes were provided with a code that allowed them to download an acoustic version of their song "Sweet Insanity." That concert series will also be released via DVD at a later date."

You're right, at least if you rephrase it like "bands should be considered if they take in considerable influences from an established Prog band".
By means of comparison, PA list anything that sounds remotely like Genesis or Yes. So the "if X then Y" is perfectly logical reasoning. I can't see what's wrong with that.

Not being a specialist on either bands I know them enough to see how mr Bungle is regarded as full-blown avant-prog and DFD is not.
DFD would be a good match for 'art metal' in exp/post though (they are at least 50% mr Bungle) so I can't understand them being rejected frankly.

I support DFD for PA, and suggested it myself at one time (been suggested once before that and twice after that including this one), though I think I should have put it to the art rockers (Crossover or Eclectic) rather than having it go through the PMT (was rejected by avant before that).  Sometimes bands have been rejected when they probably should have given a move vote (after all, one team is usually not an expert on another team's category).  Adultery is PA relevant to me.

I think it at least PR worthy, but would rather not make a case for it to admin and let fashionable sleeping disco dogs lie.

It's because they've been rejected already.

Rules I guess. Something about decisions being final unless there is new information.
