Not talking about emotion and song writing skills, just technical wizardry, which band is the best?
I heard Spiral Architect last week and think they could beat the other two (technically)

Tool, based on Lateralus and the 2 songs from 10,000 album that I received from a friend.
Just technical monstruosity.
Dream theater comes very close.

I would go with Spiral Architect. They're clearly more technical than the other two, and far more complex IMO.

| Tool is far from being the most technical prog metal band |

I've heard the 3 choices and I vote for Spiral Architect. I hva yet found a relaxing part in their album.

Out of those definitely Spiral Architect. But like Mike said,Power of Omens is pretty technical,and I think their drummer is incredible. I recommend their album Rooms of Anguish.  -------------  |

Watchtower. I’ve yet to hear Spiral Architect’s album, although it’s quite an experience from what I’ve gathered. |

You should definately check out Spastic Ink ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can |

um, no.
Planet X is probably mine- not only are they technical- but it's VERY CLEAN
Spiral sounds a bit sloppy at times.... ------------- |

Adagio are pretty technical .. so are Time Requim but I think Andromeda or spiral architect take the cake  Keep in mind technicle doesn`t mean its good , sometimes technicle can leave one big headache , I mean I would prefer a balance of melodic flow and technicality if I had my choice I guess thats why vintage Kansas is my idea of perfection.

Watchtower hands down,
Spiral Architech wouldn't exist if it wasnt for Watchtower,

 I like all the bands mentioned here, maybe except Spiral Architect, but Power of Omens is, IMO, one of the few prog metal bands who actually create a texture, and their texture is very impressive indeed!

I put tool for the rhythms, not guitar solos and difficulty in playing the notes.
If it was about how difficult the songs are to play, I'll choose Dream Theater easily or Liquid Tension Experiment.

I picked Spiral Architect, but I find Cynic, Spastik Inc, Canvas Solaris, and Meshuggah more technical, but also they can be annoying with their relentlessness. Psychotic Waltz can be pretty technical at times too, but not all out like some of the other bands. ------------- What is prog rock ? It is music that does progress. Progressive music takes a riff, turns it inside out, plays it upside down and the other way around, and explores its potential. K.Emerson |

It's also the best technical prog metal band.

I forgot GORDIAN KNOT... This album is excellent, not repetitive to over the top

| Of those Spiral Architect, but there are many more like Spastic Ink, Behold... the Arctopus, Dhrythmia (which is spelt wrong, I know...), even Orthrelm although we're beginning to travel rather far away from prog metal at this point! |
