The Tech/Extreme Prog metal appreciation

Its funny you should say that as I have a really hard time liking Disoc Volante, though my appreciaion for it is quite high. On the other hand I've loved In a Flesh Aquarium from the first listen and cant wait for them to come to Europe on Dream Theaters Prog Nation tour this autumn.

Hi FruMp!
1st, just wanted to say to you that there are few, but some of us "get it", and I am glad to see your
Music tastes in PrOg are WIDE, I think the more we as proggers explore, the more we can learn alot,
but you really have to "listen", take the time, put on the Headphones and explore the space.
But if you don't like it . . . oh well, you gave it a shot .

So without any controversy (I hope), there was my 10cents.  I wanted to add this Link below because
I found it the perfect forum for Math/Tech of Thrash/Death/Prog-Metal.
I'm always on the lookout for new and old Bands.  Also, PrOgulus is a great place to request this kind
of PrOg as well (theres my plug), and every other Sub-Genre. Hope you guys enjoy .

On the other hand I've loved In a Flesh Aquarium from the first listen and cant wait for them to come to Europe on Dream Theaters Prog Nation tour this autumn.   I honestly cannot believe how much better the European lineup for prognation is than north america, to be honest I could care less for Zappa Plays Zappa and Pain of Salvation. Beardfish is alright, not as heavey as most of the stuff I'm into lately, but I can appreciate it. On the other hand, you guys have Unexpect, I actually can't put into words how good they are, and Opeth..which is well...Opeth, absolutley amazing. Lucky b*****d

Speak for yourself dude, I love Pain of Salvation and think both line ups are great.

Look what thread you're in when talking about Prognation. If I had to just take a stab in the dark, I'd say people here prefer the 1st lineup because it's 2 Tech/Extreme bands and a metal-ish band compared to no Tech/Extreme bands and 2 metal-ish bands.

A few months later came back to it and listened to it everyday for about 3 weeks straight I think.
