I voted yes, because I'm generally tired of any focus on all things metal. But I'd rather take the extreme ones  than the whole school of cheesemetal. (Much better name for it)

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
Don't believe in me

tongue in cheek this poll started ...  but you watch it will probably develop into something more  ...  like a snow ball effect   ...   Wink

I would've pointed my finger squarely at the crossover and prog metal sections; these are breeding grounds for instantly predictable music, at least from what's represented among 2008 releases...
a valid point in the discussion one which I cant deny ..  they are keeping the prog wheel in motion and doing their bit in that way I suppose


that's the spirit!

OPeth this Opeth that its not progressive this, it is progressive that ....   I'm getting a little tired of  Tech / Extreme  prog bands being featured on this site in such a constant   way,  day after day it seems like always the same thing  ... how about you ?
