People always manage to slide semicolons into their serious argumentative posts in an attempt to appear well-educated. Oh how silly we all look now! But in other news, since you guys were talking about good Christian bands (of which there are very, very few), I feel I should mention that...

This video doesn't include him tackling James LaBrie, so there's no way he's a Myung. We'll just have to believe him.

Haha, Dan is BUSTED! :P

Hey now! LTE is amazing. Prog usually takes a lot of listening to get into, and you may not be putting enough time in to get to know the other songs. If you want some prog without really high vocals, you should give Walk in Mindfields by Ivanhoe a listen. It's a very good album, but it took...

This is great. This has tremendous flow and groove. I know this is not the style you're going for, but I think your vocals would sound amazing with more vibrato. Edit: Holy shit. I'd never heard of Nightingale before, and why don't they have any reviews on metalcrypt? O_O I love this.

He did a good job capitalizing random I's.

Dream Theater do those transitions on purpose, yes. They've even talked about it in commentaries before. I particularly like rough transitions most of the time, and I think Dream Theater do a good job with them. They don't always do that, though, especially on the heavier groovier songs like...

I got a friend of mine to listen to Oniric Metal, and she loved it, but I still don't like it as much as I'd like to...

I am glad you enjoy it, lol.

I loved the guitar tone on Mirror of Souls... I am a bit worried!

Lanfear - Zero Poems is my favorite progressive metal album of all time, but if you give it a try, realize that it'll take a lot of time, and also probably isn't going to be in the style you would expect for progressive metal. Towers is also amazing, and even though the production is bad, it...

Andy! You're my favorite singer, but you never do any guest vocal work with groups like Avantasia! You need to pressure your way in, because you rock and should be in there!

Yo! I like this a lot! You have your own sound, which I think is required for a progressive band to have interesting music. Too many rely too heavily on the influences from other bands, and I think you have a sound all of your own! Please send me a PM if you ever get a CD or a demo out, I'd...

Hey, I've been listening to Oniric Metal, and I hear some flashes of genius on it, but for the most part the music feels a little too dramatic, like the music doesn't fit its own theme -- epic but goofy at the same time. And I like when progressive music breaks into something unexpected, but on...

Eh, I'm with Wyvern, and sadly it's hard to even mention not liking SW without getting heavily frowned upon by everyone. When I first gave Mercy Falls a spin, I found the intro and the instrumental "There and Back" to be amazing. Then "Welcome to Mercy Falls" started up and I was blown away...
