You know yourself pretty well!

Yeah, that's the christmas spirit!

I believe you're obsessed with something, honestly, the shrink will be a good option.

He is Clayson! Sounds like he gets told off a lot!

The Miracle wrote: Yes, but not all harcore is not emo! Every Meshuggah song is hardcore, but emo? hell naw. Emo is punk, which dredg are not and never were.   I know we will continue with our disagreement but that's OK, even though I never said Dredg was Punk or EMO, only that had some EMO moments, and most of the sites agree, but that's relative. "Emo is a subgenre of hardcore punk music". That's not what Dredg are. Not at all. I admit those songs are hardcore/metalcore, but not emo!   Neither do that, I believe they are mainly alternative. Ever heard of this band? http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=2480   Sorry my friend but "metalcore with death metal influences" (According to their bio) is not for me, remember that according to another member I'm an anachronism of the 70's All of their music is like that. And they're here as a fully prog band(I like them BTW). I don't doubt they may be Prog, but excuse me if in the case of Between the Buried and Me I pass. Iván Melgar Whatever (Hey, I'm liking how it sounds)

You really shouldn't pay any attention to that. I didn't actually mean any of it, none of it was serious, i just liked the idea of a guy trapped in the 70s communicating to the outside world through a special device.

But still, come on, just read your post on dredg, then look at the bands you've reviewed and more importantly put as 5 fives. Even if you aren't, on a surface level you practically embody the `yes and genesis rule, modern prog sucks coz i'm an angry middle aged guy who can't move on from the golden age' stereotype.

so in a way...you're wrong...and i'm the unquestionable master of the universe

You don't exist outside of the 70s. you communicate to the world through a special device that lets you make contact with the modern world. You're an anachronism. I'm so sick of these `everything in the 70's was so damn magical and brilliant, and everything modern that doesn't try to be close to the edge sucks'. Prog has moved on, evolved, progressed. So should you. *offers a caring hand to the shoulder*

    btw dredg rule. Except catch without arms, which in regards to the original topic, is not prog. Their other two albums are.

Well, I don't expect to know more about prog rock than people here, but I do see alot of unchecked musical stupidity going around here when not in regards to prog rock.
