^ I'm actually against their inclusion, in case you were wondering (as is shown in the prog metal chart). Smile

Well, I leave it up to all of you to stay "openminded" about operametalsuggestions looking like this.
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

^ Nevertheless emphasising that word implied that for you that is the case here ... that the cover rules out any chances of that album being progressive.

BTW: I think that it's quite cheesy, but cheese and prog have a history of going well together ... Wink

I know Mike. that's why I wrote sometimes. I'm very good at spotting these subtle nuances.

That cover is progressive, in a sense - it goes places no other cover has gone before (not that any other cover would want to...)

^ there were quite a few classic Prog bands who picked up fantasy related topics ... Lord of the Rings/Tolkien is only one obvious example.

See, sometimes I don't need no advanced position to tell that this ain't prog. I judge Barbara Cartland books by the covers too. Shame on me! I just knew there was no way in hell progressive sound could come out of that D&D boardgame lookalike.

Judging an album just by its cover doesn't seem that advanced a position to me... Many prog classics wouldn't be here....
 
But I agree, AVANTASIA is not prog. Not because their covers, but because of their music.

Sometimes one can judge a book by its cover:



And pleeease, no more suggestions looking like this. Just thinking about what this sounds like makes me ill.

Absolutely! Tobias Sammett is a prog/metal genius.
