I was listening to some lesser known bands today and I am curious as to how people would rate them?
As for me it´s probably between Dali´s Dilemma and Superior, can´t decide yet...

Damn...4 really good,sort of obscure PM bands.Pretty hard to choose but I would have to say Unexpect,their album Utopia is brilliant. -------------  |

Í will check that one out
 The song I listened to by them had a woman singing sort of opera vocals in the background and a guy singing like a demon (My wife rolled her eyes and asked what the hell I was playing!

I think I got it wrong, it was actually Thine Eyes Bleed that made my wife flee in terror!

oh man, i'm definetely going for Unexpect; their latest output - In A Flesh Aquarium - is really like nothing i've heard before, be it prog or extreme metal, or both; it's really outstanding [if you can stand it ]

| I like Superior the best. Dali's Dilemma isn't far behind. |

Haven't heard Unexpect or Eyes Bleed... I've heard people rave about Superior for years, but quite frankly don't find them to be all that progressive. I own Behind and have listened to it many times. Fairly straight-forward song structures, heavy with some piano thrown in. Does piano+metal=progressive metal? Anyway, not bad, just not prog in my book. Dali's Dilemma is my choice. Clearly in the Dream Theater camp. However, I think the song-writing stands on it's own (better than most of DT's post-Awake writing IMO) and the musicianship is bordering on incredible, especially the drumming. If they ever came out with another album, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I've only heard Dali's Dilemma and Superior hence no vote, but must say that Dali's Dilemma is far superior over Superior ------------- carefulwiththataxe |

UnexpecT without a doubt - by far the most innovative of the bunch.
TheProgtologist: if you've only listened to Utopia, try the new one, since it's about thirty times better in my opinion. Truly challenging stuff. ------------- Tous les chemins qui s’ouvrent à moi ne mènent à rien si tu n’es plus là |
