PA is becoming the new www.metal-archives.com ! oh nooo!
 EDIT: Since this site is supposed to be a "Prog Rock" oriented site, I don't get the point of doing a split of a very very doubtful genre (in the sense it's too much inclusive with bands that aren't even related to Prog) as Prog Metal is... Edited by P.H.P. - October 22 2007 at 11:59 |

Great work from the PMT to get the much needed split and goodluck because placing the bands is going to be the hard part.

The genre is doubtful *in your opinion* ... only a few people share this extreme position. Well, we can't please everyone, but we try!  |

Hi Mike,
I think the addition is a good idea, but could use some work. What do you do about bands which have a sound that doesn't quite fit in a single category? E.g. sometimes you can't really say if what you hear is technical/progressive thrash or death metal.
And then you have bands like Solefald, Ephel Duath, Opeth with very eclectic catalogue, what do you do with these drunken sailors?

it's doubtful because you make it look like it is, I believe in the existence of Progressive Metal, but carefully selected, you know...since bands like Cult of Luna are listed here, I mantain it's doubtful at least here in PA.

There was a discussion about naming the site progressive music but we decided to keep it the same. You should already know that, newb. |

Good job, folks, it brings sense into whole Prog-Metal thing (I mean people who like Pax Cecilia may hate Nightwish, and that was all Prog-Metal...)

You are acting like a troll and I suggest being a little more respectful and understanding of other people's tastes here.
I won't warn you again.

if you look at the direction they all took with their later albums it's not so surprising.

When being honest has been "trolling"? What I want to make clear is that PA went off target really, I would like to help improve it...if you let me. |

Today on ProgArchives.... Jody: "Please be more respectful"
PHP: "Don't tase me, bro!"
BACK TO THREAD SUBJECT:
Actually looking at the front page now, this is pretty helpful. Unfortunately, it's going to cost me a pretty penny and a good bit of time listening to all the bands in the experimental/post metal section!

Agree 500%. have from the start. bands who only share a distortion setting on their guitar cannot and should not be grouped together based solely on that aspect. (kayo dot, and Kamalot? Meshuggah and dream theater? and Maudlin of the Well and Rhapsody?) Its been needed for a while if only for the sake of navigation. sure they're still all metal but ive been hesitant to browse for bands because im never sure what ill get.

There are different ways of making your point. It can be friendly and constructive, or it can be confrontational and disrespectful. Guess which one is most likely to be effective.

When the definitions are inserted those bands being in that category will be a little more clear.
