They begin again

I totally support Petrucci’s desire to write huge ridiculous concept albums but The Astonishing was the most extra poo poo in the world and I love Dream Theater. It was over 2 hours long. There were songs I liked but I can’t remember any of them because it’s rare for movies to even properly use 2 hours. I would totally be down for them redoing Images & Words until they hang it up. Just don’t try that poo poo again, please, my lovely old progfathers.

tbh though Haken has become one of my favorite bands and they’re doing a wonderful job building on what Dream Theater did for years.

Yeah Haken are amazing, they actually write songs and use the more unusual elements to actually achieve something instead of being wacky for the sake of it. I liked them from the start but their last two albums have cemented them as one of the best prog bands around.

Does this count as prog? Because this I like. Used to listen to this album quite a bit, some years ago.

Hey metal thread, I hope you can help me out here. I'm looking for music that sucks, particularly music that sucks a lot and in a very particular way.

What else sounds like The Kovenant's Animatronic? I want that 'it's 1999 and The Matrix is the best thing to ever happen to me' sound.

They're putting out 4 loving albums this year, it's insane. They have hands-down the most workaholic approach to music I've ever seen (and I say this after talking to Bryan at their show in DC recently).

Inconsolable is already in my top 5 of the year, it's gorgeous.

Definitely And Oceans and Deathstars but I'll also throw in a much more dance-beat heavy options if it's not just the bad gothness you're angling for and just bad synths instead:

Yeah, they been sliding down every album since Portnoy left. Like Mangini is just as proficient but when you get rid of a founding member, everything seems off, happens all the time.

Think they had hinted at this a while back so it's not totally out of the blue, but still a bummer. I really dig all three albums and they were loving rad live. Saw them twice in one night once, which I can't say for any other band.

I may have been dragged into this Ghost thing, I don't read this thread that much and there may be some irony.

Just watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_ijc7A5oAc

It's 70s hard rock and they wear masks and some makeup.

Certainly isn't metal.

The sheer amount of people who just have to tell everyone about how they "don't think Ghost is that good, guys" is rather tiring. User reviews on "very serious" metal sites are by far the worst offenders.

"This band I don't like totally isn't metal, you guys. Guys. Guuuuys, it's not metal. I get to decide what is metal and what isn't, didn't you get the memo?"

Why waste your time putting down bands, when there is so much music out there that you could appreciate instead. Why focus on stuff you don't like anyway? And then endless boring-rear end discussions of what is and isn't metal, as if it was actually important.

Yes, I know it's old hat, I am just sick and loving tired of that attitude.

While the rest of us actually listen to some music.
