The fathers of Prog Metal

I mentioned Iron Maiden several pages back because they seem to embody all the points Dean originally raised. Personally I don't listen to any metal/prog metal except for Rush, and even then I only play a couple of their early ones like Farewell To Kings, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures.

Wrong idiom.

Golden showers of metal. That's what this forum's name is now.

I would like to know what you thought of the new DT album and what Pain of Salvation album is at the top of your list? I never really could get into POS because of Gildenlow's voice, however the musicianship of the band is quite good. May I have your thicket please to into The Theater? Thicket has no sarcastic intent, it is merely another pun-name for a popular band that I like to play with, like Ironing Maiden, Metallicaca, Panteater, Megabreth, Sleigher, Jethro Toe, Marylion, Steve Hillside, Riversnide, My Drying Bride, Nine Inch Heels (not one of mine but I really like it), Squeezy and the Banshees, Took That, The Beatless, Injury and the Blockheads, Simply Dead, Emerson Fitti Paldi, Rick Wokeman, Van der Gruffalo Generator, Soft Mashing. I sometimes deliberately spell Dream Theather as Dream Theatre on purpose because it annoys some DT fans, other times the Safari browser's auto-correcting spellchecker does it for me because I have the UK dictionary invoked and I don't actually notice it's done it. I used Ticket once I believe, but didn't like it as much as Thicket.   I haven't heard anything of the new eponimous album, this is deliberate as I prefer to hear the whole thing in its entiriety on first listen in the comfort of my sitting room after I've purchased the CD, which I haven't done yet. I will do one day as I have bought every DT album for the past xxx years even though they do not impress me anywhere near as much as they did fifteen years ago. It's one of those bands that one day I'll just give up on.   PoS just connect with me in ways that teh techno-flash of Dream Thicket never can, it's not just the musicianship, its the emotion and clarity, it's the lyricism and the compositions. I have always prefered the extreme side of metal to the melodic and european metal to 'mercan metal, I was (and probably still am) a Goth at heart, so the doomier side of things will always appeal more than the screaming woe is me she broke my heart stuff. Opeth, In The Woods..., Katatonia, Green Carnation, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Pain of Salvation - it's a simple equation some of it Prog, some of it not.

Well for record, I still say Metalicaca is my favourite. The Beatless made me laugh as well. Also, I for one did switch to the English (U.K) keyboard as well instead of the American. You are right, it does auto-correct certain words that whcu we were speaking about.
As for European Metal. I do agree with what you said. It carries a far different flavour.
And, POS I'm sure I will revisit more in the future. I did hear some of Remedy Lane and thought it was fathering moving both musically and lyrically. It's got emotion for sure, but as I said Gildenlow's voice is something I just have to get used to. I will do some trail runs with that on the Ayreon album (101-011011) or something like that. Lol
Anyhow. I am goth at heart in most cases as well, especially envolving a more Doom Type sound to the overall Goth Flavouring of the music. Anathema's earlier works are definitely more intriguing to me cause I think that doom side to their sound/vocals works a bit better for me than the ultra emotional piece that is 'Weather Systems.' but, I will say that I did enjoy the emotionally laden Weather Systems. I saw Anathema perform most of that record on the 18th of sept this year in concert. Actually met a nice lady as well...go figure huh? ;)

Anyway. Get 5.1mix edition of the new DT album and enjoy it loud. Myung's bass playing is actually quite heightened with in that sound format. It's lovely. :) Hope you enjoy the album in your own mancave....if you have one. :)
Also. One last thing. DT almost lost me at one point with the releases of Systematic Chaos and Black Clouds and Silver linings. They were starting to scare me a little bit, but DT's last 2 releases have been a nice breath of fresh air.
All in all, I guess Portnoy really did have to go.

Also. I think a lot of us are doing some heavy peeing on one another on this forum.


I think we call call this discussion golden showers for Prog metal appreciators.

Actually. I will agree with this. It's these American pronunciations/spelling perceptions of words i personally have never agree with.

Theatre---Theater
Colour---Color
Favourite--Favorite

....just to name a few. Although I've never heard of ticket from thicket...if that is was you are sarcastically getting at?
