DT is prog, but to some, it would be metal, due to their heavy sound on recent albums I s'pose.

No mention of prog at all, just metal. Given that this release would have had to get approval from Petrucci, does this mean that, whatever we think on this site, Dream Theater DON'T think they're prog or don't want to acknowledge it? That's my interpretation.

If I were Petrucci, I wouldn't mind if they called DT just metal instead of prog-metal. Even if DT in fact is prog-metal.

I don't know the circumstances oh that text, but obviously Dream Theater considered themselves as prog. Watch any of their dvds or read the lyrics of Octavarium.

I know that this isn't the topic question, but I know that , for example, Queen never classified themselves as prog, nor the magazines called them prog.

But they are here, so they are prog, so..ehm..
