The Science of Suck posted:i’ve never gotten very far into prog, but i heard some recent animals as leaders and i think its the drumming that is tying it together for me. a quick google says djent is what i’m after? i don’t like meshuggah so far.

Djent is kind of a loaded term and covers a whole lot of kinds of music. Specifically the name is an onomatopoeia for the palm muted low open string, it's kind of Meshuggah's entire thing so you can probably recognize it with them, and also with a lot of AAL stuff, though AAL kind of uses it as a jumping-off point for way more creative stuff. Animals as Leaders are really one of the most technically complex bands in metal/prog IMO, and they are quite unique - there's really nobody doing exactly what they do. Is any of this stuff up your alley at all? It's definitely more straightforward than AAL but this is the kind of stuff that would probably come up on an AAL Pandora station or something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m5XvO0Y2-Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im3rhzOFThk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7T0TPBYGjs

On the other hand I like elaborate keyboards (ELP, Tony Banks) and but don’t mind more pop inclinations (Alan Parsons, ELO up to Out of the Blue?) but my knowledge ends somewhere around 1990 if anyone’s got anything more, uh, modern.

Maybe Haken? They're a bit more prog metal but rarely the screamy kind. Their fourth album, Affinity, has some synthpop throwback influences, especially the song "1985".

Bit late to the party, but newest The Gathering album Beautiful Distortion is pretty great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBZY7bFYlWY I know it more of a Prog adjacent band than strickly prog.

Just off Facebook. Jesse Gress, guitarist with Todd Rundgren and Tony Levin Band, has passed at the age of 67. This is the only music thread I post in, and I met him via Tony, so here's the news. He was a very, very nice guy. Always hoped Tony would get the band out again - Jesse on guitar, Jerry Marotta on drums, TL on bass and either Pete Levin or Larry Fast on keys. Sad.

It's Dark Side's fiftieth birthday today. Got the turntable running into a preamp and then into some good ol' K240s. Real good poo poo.

Rush has the 40th anniversary version of Signals on pre-order as of today. Doesn’t come with any extra live stuff like the last few of their 40th anniversary albums did, sadly. Still gonna get it cause I’m a dork and that’s my favorite albums of theirs.

The one thing I'll say about the 40th ann. editions for previous Rush stuff is that it's the closest the digital versions have gotten to sounding like the OG vinyl.

Despite already owning both original and a reissue vinyl LPs of Signals I am considering the 40th anniversary edition simply because it's my favourite Rush album. I will forever be grateful that I got to see them playing Losing It live. I actually cried during that song at R40 in Vancouver. One of the most moving things I've ever seen in my life.

I remember fondly the snakes and arrows tour where they played Digital Man. I just looked it up and it was an amazing 5 song opener. Limelight, Digital Man, Ghost of a Chance, Mission, Freewill.

yeesh there's one that makes me feel old, I remember buying that in high school the week it was released. was stunned how modern it sounded for a "bunch of old guys"...in retrospect Fripp and Belew were only in their 50s, the other two in their 40s! that's not old at all!! right??

I loved that incarnation of the band so much. I bet I saw them 5 or 6 times. It was probably that power to believe tour where they had Living Color open for them. Incredible show. They were playing more rock clubs than theaters. So good.

Something that I just remembered is that Rick Emmet did an all-Canuck thing for a guitar magazine, a piece featuring Alex Lifeson, Ed Bickert, and Liona Boyd. Enjoy it in all its late-80s glory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luazBVOYa9c
