C'mon, Henry. Blackest Eyes sounds nowhere near as bad as Breaking Benjamin. :P

I'd say PT are prog for sure, but the degree of their prog depends entirely on the era. And if you don't like the alt-rock sound, I can definitely see why you wouldn't like them at all. I think their popularity isn't too overhyped; it's just easy to think so sometimes on here, but the case is the same with some other bands as well.

I haven't heard any of his solo stuff yet, though I want to.
The presence of Victor Wooten in the Flecktones is actually what made me check out in the first place.

I've heard of him too, but I've never been a fan of bass solos. It's just not an interesting instrument, there's not enough range, even though Victor can does crazy sh*t.
I really like the bass, but I see what you mean.
Victor's playing is exceptional.

I'm extremely curious as to how it'll sound.

I will laugh if it's just boring In Abstentia alt-rock songs strung together ala TAAB (no, I'm not saying TAAB isn't prog :P).

I will agree that In Absentia is not the most progressive thing out there, but I do quite enjoy it. However, I think their two releases after it were better.
