Wow, this album has a nearly perfect overall rating.

What's that I hear? Two free live recordings? Seems that way:
 
 
 
NB I haven't listened to either so I'm not speaking for either the musical or audio quality!

IMO they're not at all a metal band. Perhaps they're more metal in live situations ... but Of Natural History is not a prog metal album.

(that might explain why some people like it although they generally don't like metal).

They're Avant-Prog or even RIO ... on their hompage they say that their motto is "Rock against Rock".

oh, for playing FLAC files:
 
Winamp, you need a file in_flac.dll,
foobar foo_flac.dll
 
Windows Media Player and iTunes i have no idea but there are ways.
 
To decode to wav to burn to a CD on PC I'd use a program called FLAC Frontend (http://members.home.nl/w.speek/download/FLAC_frontend.zip) as well as the FLAC codec (http://cyberial.com/flacinstaller.asp)

I think they're grouped as metal because there's such a stigma against metal sounds in other styles - if a metal band uses jazz sounds that's fine and still metal, but if a jazz band uses metal sounds a lot of jazz fans wouldn't give it a chance. That's not terribly clear, is it?

Fantomas, Mr. Bungle, SGM ... they all belong in RIO/Avant-Prog. Mr. Bungle are already there, so what's the deal?

Yeah, SGM belongs more to Avant-Prog than to Prog metal... i'm glad they're now on the RIO/Avant list...
