It is. Post deleted and follow up posts deleted.

Okay, but then I want to say about the question of baiting that I just, now and then and not more than many others, am telling about 
what I don't like.

Siberian Khatru, despite its exotic-sounding title, really just sounds like a country jazz tune. The unusual rhythms on the chorus sound like Bruford dropped something on his drumkit. Close to the Edge itself is mostly extremely harsh-sounding.

That being said, it can still sometimes be fun to listen to, but I just don't experience it as the be-all-end-all of prog rock mastery that seems to be expected of it. And I find most of Topographic Oceans to be far more listenable.

^I know you weren't remarking about prog. I was just using that as an example of how popular opinion isn't always the best indicator of quality or predictor of individual responses.

LOL Wow. St. Anger is widely considered their single worst recording, and rightfully so.


Prog is widely considered the realm of faeries, dragons and UFO's. That is, where its even considered at all.

I am very well versed in the opinions about that album. That's why I'm here in the "Hot Takes" thread. It doesn't really change the way I feel about their post-...Puppets discography. 


That's fine. My remark about the album has nothing to do with prog. I think Metallica veered headlong into the corporate rock zone long ago. I enjoy a fair amount of metal, but I don't get a lot of mileage out of their discography.

The classic ELP and VdGG are the most archetypal Progressive Rock.
