It is highly likely that the majority of you who have taken the time to click on this review, after reading the genre classification have already made up your minds about progressive rock and metal. It is also highly likely that this decision classifies you into one of two camps. One side consists of those of you who find the genre consists of a delicate mixture of eclectic song writing, virtuoso musicianship and epic concepts. You see it as a genre which produces songs that often take a considerable period of time to worm their way into your psyche but provide far longer lasting musical enjoyment when they do, therefore you see this review as a great opportunity to discover a new band in a genre populated by many and ruled by few. The other side consists of those of you who find the genre consists of pointless fret board wankery, vocalists who sound like they’ve been recently castrated and songs which are too long for their own good. You find the whole exercise rather pointless and you are just reading this for your own morbid amusement, searching for ammunition to call me a pretentious knob jockey (or similar).
personally I think prog can be either, depending on how good the band is =)
