Re: Prediction: Prog goons love this
This band has been recommended to me for years. Someday I need to sit down and give them a proper listen.
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?

Good stuff
Now, interestingly is 'progressive rock' and 'prog rock' the same thing...?
Is the word 'prog' just a truncated form of the word 'progressive'
Many of the youngsters think is but history states otherwise
Even Ian Anderson of Tull, says that they were a progressive rock band and not a prog band. And elsewhere the same lad from 'The Auld Grey Toun' states that Eddie Jobson tried to make Tull a prog band....
Some folk will be airbrushing out Trotsky next....!

If you are of the broad church persuasion they are one and the same thing. But you know that C

As you know C. there are those of us who know the difference between progressive and prog and they are not one and the same thing.

I hate King Crimson with a passion even I find hard to understand.
By the way, I'm not trying to find prog that I like. I don't like prog and that seems to be that.
What I was trying to do at first was to identify what exactly prog is, or whether particular tracks/albums/bands can be called prog. Now my mission is to identify what makes prog 'good' to your ears. I know who the canonical proggers are; what I'm looking for is something that I can predict you will like without it being part of the canon. Obviously, I've failed in this case and it may be impossible. If I don't like it, it'll be hard to know what would tickle your prog tastebuds.
We shall see.

I might venture that as incautious terminology, my learned friend.

I'd never heard of them before this appeared in one of my Spotify-made playlists. Having looked them up, they sound like they could be interesting; they seem to have adopted a huge variety of styles over the last few years.

Re: Prediction: Prog goons love this
The first track is garbage modern prog. As one who listens to a bunch of new prog this is the stuff I can't listen too. The thought by so many newer prog bands is they have to have a touch of Rush and metal in them. Rush vocalist but not as good, over the top drums and too many annoying riffs. Not a style I like at all. See no resemblance to 80's KC or P Tree. This is more thrash metal then prog.
Sort of like the harvey k-tel track above(first one) but still not something I'll listen too.

I'm a fan of Battles seen them a few times. I consider them Math rock/Electronic but yes plenty of prog overtones.
