"Progressive Metal" is not a genre.

Thanks fellas, I was just provoking ya! I knew that's what u wanted to hear... These threads are only ever made to stir up argument...

I watched their DVD and was not impressed.

I love good choruses, good riffs, and good melodies...but I need to give them more of a listen. Not saying they don't have them, but they just seemed a bit too progressive.

Truthfully, Evergrey is the only recent prog band that I actually like and can listen to.

I'd rather listen to Pink Floyd or Genesis than most of these prog metal bands.

The DVD sucks because BE sucks. It is a crime to form an opinion of PoS just by BE. I shudder thinking of your impression of the band after just BE.

After my absence and upon return to these forums, this thread caught mah attenshun. All I have to say is; the song This Godless Endeavor is pretty fecking progressivelydiggity. Just my opinion.

I never liked This Godless Endeavor to be honest.

TGE is nevermore's best album. fuck off!

Because they replaced their ambitious and unique style of metal with over-polished production and instrumental wankery?

OOPS SORRY THAT WAS DEAD HEART LOLZ





Seriously speaking, TGE isn't a bad record, but it will never move me in the same way as the first three albums and the EP did. If you have a problem with this, fuck off. I don't have to like every NM album to be a fan.

Why would anyone have a problem with it? The fact that you needed to say so, without any provocation, probably points towards it bothering you.

 

[Dying Freedom]

He seemed to have a problem with it. Or maybe I'm just in a crappy mood and felt like bitching about something. Well, now you know.

 

[Lunar Still]

And there it is.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I mentioned not liking it and thus created a shit storm, w00t

 

[Dying Freedom]

Eh now I feel like an idiot. Sorry if I seemed like one to you people.

I always find it funny when this topic comes up because of the varying opinions...especially so-called "prog-metal" fans.

Here are my cents that I posted on the Powerfest forum a couple weeks back since I do have a pet peeve regarding this issue :

Then a "little" extra when someone countered :
