I suppose I understand it, but it just seems odd considering all the other differences. Confused

Well, prog has many sides to it.

It can be totally chaotic (hmm Can) or really structured and rationnal (hmm King Crimson). So I guess prog fans can show the same differences.

That is true. I notice that my general mindset in some aspects also is a bit rare for liking prog, particularly in the realm of philosophy or politics.

I can push it further by saying my favorite bands are bands that are similar to me in mood and attitude. Can, Soft Machine, Hawkwind, Faust, Gong, etc.

My bands are like that too, to an extent: Rush, Magma, Henry Cow, Ozric Tentacles, etc.

Depends on how you look at it.

Yeah true. I always mixed up the PA tongue emote for a Smile with a bigger mouth.

What I meant was Smile

Well, Word is being an absolute bitch to me right now, so I'll finish my review tomorrow. Although I got about halfway through it already, so I'm content. That creative spark hit me like a freight train all of a sudden, which is nice since it's an album I've wanted to review for quite some time. I don't write reviews unless I get some type of inspiration in the form of the right words.
