This week, I received a suggestion to add METALLICA in the ARCHIVE, personnaly I think it is a great idea, the 'AND JUSTICE FOR ALL' album is so intense and complex.
Why Not ? Let me know what you think. I also think about adding SYSTEM OF A DOWN, here is a sneak preview of what the critics are saying about the next 2 albums:
HAPPY APRIL'S FOOL !
------------- Prog On ! |

I think the Kill 'em All to Justice albums are great, and could be considered prog... Before knowing prog existed a freind told me, "Metallica are so cool, they constantly change their rythm and tempo". I find it quite funny thinking back. |

If you were to do that, it would only be for Master of Puppets and And Justice For All really. -------------

It's true that only the first 4 Metallica albums are progressive - but I think it's a great idea. Metallica invented prog metal, from what I've heard of modern "prog metal" bands. Sure they didn't have keyboards - but those riffs are quite extraordinary, and what they did for metal as a genre should never be underestimated. Shame about everything after the Black album tho' As for System of a Down, I've only heard Toxicity, which sounds very progressive in nature - but compared with Metallica's first 4 albums doesn't really have the "prog" edge I would look for. So a big thumbs up for Metallica - "...And Justice For All" and "Master of Puppets" are surely the epitome of prog metal. The riffs are still being used |

Sorry, but I don't view Metallica as prog metal. Sure, they influenced
prog metal bands because they're the most influential metal band on the
planet. But, Watch Tower are clearly the inventors of what people
consider prog metal. Metallica is metal. If Metallica gets included
then ya might as well add a crap load of other metal bands on here too. Hell, Megadeth with more "progressive" than Metallica! No to Metallica on the Archives. Peace & take care  |

Orion is a great instrumental. They are quite prog, but the prestige of our archive would be affected. Any outsider would be shocked at first, when reading front-page reviews of Metallica alongside Pink Floyd... I don't see it happen -------------

I believe for a band to be included on the Archives, that it should be
pretty clear that they're prog, not some HUGE debate like this fiasco
is going to conjure. Metallica was a mixture of hard rock, metal, and
thrash, not prog. Christ, just because they have some technicality
people want to call them prog. I know a lot more technical metal bands
that could be on here besides Metallica. More examples: Death, Nevermore (i.e. The Politics of Ecstasy) Peace & take care |

The bulk of Genesis material is not prog. Genesis only released prog up to Duke - from 1970-1980 is only 10 years. From 1980 to now is 15 years. Prog is a mixture of many genres and it's not about technicality. Death were a Death metal band. |

Not a track over 5 and a half minutes though. I normally do check my facts very carefully, but really that's a moot point since Metallica already had two very progressive albums out before then, and "Master..." blew it away. |

I was NOT stating here that technicality = prog. What I was said was misconstrued as that. What I was meant was that's all you can really consider when calling Metallica prog. This is crap, Metallica made progressions over each album, like most other bands do, that doesn't make them prog. The inclusion of Metallica in the Archives would mean chaos. Everybody would start to complain about this and that band because Metallica was included. Peace & take care  |

I'm a SOAD fan. They create some intense and wild songs, melodies, etc. While they are one of the best metal bands out there, they are not progressive at all. I can understand where you get this idea, on a few numbers they can sound progressive, for about a minute or so but not enough to consider them a prog band. About Metallica: I have only heard one album by them, and it wasn't the best thing i've ever heard. I dont think i can give an accurate, unbaised opinoin about them, so i won't comment on them. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Max: Metallica? Surely you jest! At best, they were "proto" prog-metal, in the same way that The Beatles became "proto" prog. But The Bealtes are not a "prog" group, and neither is Metallica. Indeed, if "Sgt. Pepper" is not a prog album, then "And Justice For All" isn't either. And if your criterion for inclusion on the site is that a band has only a single prog album - even if they put out 700 albums - then including Metallica but not The Beatles would be wrong. This is why I have always felt that a band should not be included on the site simply because they happen to make one, or even two, albums that are (or might be considered) "prog." A band should not be included on the site unless the majority of its output over an extended period is "prog": i.e., the "ratio" system. Or, at very least, there is a clear, broad acceptance that a band is, in fact, prog. You are headed down a slippery slope, Max. I hope you know what you're doing... Peace. |

Then get Radiohead and Genesis out then!  That logic is so flawed, as people have different opinions on what is prog and what isn't. Most people say Radiohead and Voivod aren't prog, god knows how they made it on this site. I would be fine with Metallica being here though, i voted no because their only prog work lies in MOP and justice. As for Megadeth and SOAD, you gotta be kidding! ------------- The Worthless Recluse

I have to agree with Maani, Max. You and Roni have created a truly great site here, but there do need to be boundaries. If too many fringe (or beyond) bands are included, especially the more popular ones, it will permanently distort the core values of the site. All. This is not about how good Metallica are, this only about how prog they are. |

frenchie: Re Genesis, even though it would seem that, on a strictly ratio basis, they might not "make the cut," that is why I allowed for the second criterion: that there is a "clear, broad acceptance" that a band is prog. No one on this site would argue that Genesis is not prog, even if they ceased being truly so by Duke or Abacab: they had still put out seven or eight consecutive albums that were, without question, prog. Indeed, even on a ratio basis they might still make the cut. As for Radiohead, I have heard only one album thus far (Kid A), which I will be reviewing soon. Suffice to say that, now that I have had a chance to listen to them, there is no question in my mind whatsoever that they are prog - or, at very least, that Kid A is prog. Thus, they already qualify under Max's scheme. I will be listening to their other albums soon to determine, to my own satisfaction, whether Kid A was a fluke, or is representative of their sound. Thus, I still believe that the ratio system is the best one - allowing for the secondary criterion in cases where a band clearly belongs even though they might "fail" were there strict adherence to the ratio system.

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! This is insanity! Metallica is my 2nd favourite band of all time, but as other people have said, if you're gonna add Metallica you may as well add every other band out there. Metallica are not prog! Whatever everyone says about them influencing prog metal etc doesn't make them prog. It's been said a million times over that they were a THRASH METAL band. Changing some tempos and having complex structures etc doesn't make them prog. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't add Metallica or System Of A Down. I would have very serious doubts about this place if Metallica were added as a "prog" band. NO!!! |

I have no problem with adding them, personally, but it was all a joke. Max already told us: APRIL FOOL Duh. I knew it the second I saw the thread. Good joke though...but I really wouldn't mind them being added. As I said, I don't care who's added. It makes no difference to me, as long as real prog is here. Now if we took Yes off and added Britney Spears, I'd have a problem. But even if we did add Spears, I wouldn't mind, as long as Yes and the other prog bands're still here. Doesn't matter to me. |

I LOVE Metallica but it cannot fit in this site... do you think it can do along with classics like genesis? yes? or new prog like dream theater? spock's beard? Also, if metallica enters the archives, then you should have to add hundreds of metal bands!!! (Megadeth, Death, Destruction, Kreator, Suicidal Tendencies?.. you don't want to do it don't you? then you should have to visit http://www.metalstorm.ee - www.metalstorm.ee ).... i'm not saying metallica doesn't have prog influences, they managed to do such great songs like Orion, Master of Puppets, And Justice fo All, The Call of Ktulu, Fade to Black, The Frayed ends of Sanity, To live is to Die, One and some others, but they ARE NOT a prog band, not because you find some irregular songs in metal, i'm saying, with various parts and riffs not easily to be made in this genre, they would be necessarily prog... We're talking just about SOME songs taken out from just 4 albums of the 10 albums!!! they've taken out in 20 years... please.... Metallica can't be added in this site's PROG archives. Please don't!! by the way if you think Metallica does prog, try Megadeth, IMO they're better than Metallica, though Metallica are one of the most important bands in Rock / Metal history. ------------- Autenticidad, actitud, pluralidad, espiritu e inteligencia, si es prog bien, si no, tambien. |

Maani, Just to follow up on your point, I'm not at all comfortable with the ratio idea. As others have pointed out, that could lead to bands such as Genesis et al being excluded. The "broad acceptance" idea is better, but necessarily more woolly. I would say any band which has made prog albums over a period of time (i.e. not just a one off) should qualify, regardless of whether or not they later (or earlier) strayed. To give you an example of why ratios would not work, lets say 50% (for arguement's sake) of Genesis albums were prog, and the required ratio is 75%, they would not qualify. If however they had changed their name after Hacket left to say "Then there were three", Geneiss would then qualify, and TTWT would not. |

Some people here did consider some of Metallica's efforts slightly prog, and Certif1ed only pointed out that many prog metal bands are inspired by them. That's it. Other than that 90% of the people who posted were against its being included in the archives. And as for the poll results, multiple votes were allowed and people just started joking about with this option, hence so many votes for Metallica.

Oh man! You got me!!!!!! This thread was pissing me off till I saw that^ I hate Metallica especially the boring Justice album. I saw them live once and wanted to take a nap except every time I started to nod off all I heard was "Oooooooh yeah-ha!!!!".
Megadeth is better. |

Did nobody else realise it was an April Fools' thing? I can understand for those not from Britain/the US/France/Germany/any others? but for those who have it in their country...!

Metallica started greatly but after the black album MTV and popularity
killed them (speaking of quality). It's true they're metal but please!
not only 'cause dream theater made a cover in japan you can tell that
are the same or the same to porcupine, tree symphony X, shadow gallery,
mullmuzzler, etc. If they're first album are good intruduction tu metal world is different. They should not be added to the archive... and System of a down????  Please! ------------- TOEFL in latin america = neolanguage |

Great way to start April Fools Day I love it! On a serious note - of course any one who thinks Metallic is prog or fits into this archive is, well... No - Max to even have that thought is abhorent to me and many others who can not stand Metallica - Cheers -------------

Bah! Enought about Metallica, how about Iron Maiden or ManOwar (the kings of Metal, who by the way both bands can play the pants off metallica anyday of the week) "We fight to the death.
