The problem is that their sound is soooooo unique that you cant categorize them. If I had to I would say they are prog.

It's the only label that fits. I think the problem is that most people use the genre to narrowly. Fans of Yes and Genesis often think that something which is labeled prog is supposed to be similar to Yes or Genesis. It's the same with DT, PoS, SyX and Prog Metal. There is so much more to the genre than just these three bands ...

I don't really care what they are defined as either.I just see so many confilicting opinions of the band on this forum that I was just curious as to what other people think.
And if I want to call them progressive metal I will damn well call them that.Do me a favor and don't dictate to me and tell me what to say and not to say.I agree with you that they have nothing in common with DT,Symphony X and the like,they are a very different breed of band,with a very unique sound.But their music is very very progressive.

Prog indeed. If one doesn't think so, then play them Third Eye and look them square in the face and ask...Is this prog?

Well, they don't really consider them a Progressive Metal band.... THey've even said it, so guessing that's what you've heard, Greenback.

Yes,they are still touring.Their new album Teleincision should be out this year and the band Isis is already rumored to be the opening act.And while Maynard James Keenan has stressed emphatically that APC is NOT a side project he has also stated that ^ is his main band and takes precedence over everything.

^ I meant to put TOOL there.And Mike,if you only buy ONE Tool cd buy Lateralus.
