Neo-Progressive

I would strongly recommend that we drop any continued discussion about earlier disruptive events and let the thread continue unhindered. This really ain't much fun to read for those who actually want to discuss Neo-Prog.

Let it rest fellas. (my largesse is strictly non-negotiable )

Go after The Differences As Light. It gives you a better (and current) overview of the band now.

You essentially flipped it around and said I was the problem for not ignoring it when (in fact) all of this could be avoided if members would remain in the threads that mean the most them.

But you can't stop people from doing things, and you have to deal with it in least disruptive way possible. If everyone in this thread had reported posts and ignored them, we would not be horribly derailed right now. But for some reason PA cannot resist responding, which is what kept Walter around for four years. Perhaps people feel they are entitled to because they have stars? But it's Ian's job to discourage unhelpful behavior with aggressive action, not yours.

Another recommendation I would have would be Subsignal's Beautiful & Monstrous. That particular disc just caught me completely off guard and was probably my best purchase for that year. New one is coming out any day now.

Also Eden is another fantastic band. I heard a song from their upcoming album and it stands to be their strongest one yet. Great to see Rich Harding back and behind the mic after such a horrific motorcycle accident.

It would be an oversight if I didn't recommend these two.

Oh yeah, once more round the block for that wheezing ol' chestnut 'blame the victim' Blame the victim is a bit of a melodramatic way of putting it, but sure, I guess that is a somewhat accurate way of describing my position. I don't think I have to explain to you the reasoning behind "Don't feel the trolls". I present to you WalterDigsTunes ca. 2007-2011 as my primary evidence that PA is extraordinarily bad at following that simple rule. And are you trying to drag me off-topic? ;-)

Melodramatic, moi? Point taken re FEEDING the Trolls but we all want (I hope) a site where nobody is frightened to challenge bad behaviour as otherwise the spectre of tacit approval holds sway.

Whoops sorry.... back on topic

I think he's just saying that the thread only goes off topic if you choose to respond to posts that detract from the thread in the first place.

Yes, but if anybody listened to me the thread would be easier to read for everyone...

Afraid Of Sunlight is a whole 'nother being. I like how soft spoken it is, but at the same time very powerful and emotive. "Cannibal Surf Babe" definitely throws a twist in.
