Dream Theater

Trust me being prog metal fan on Sup Forums is suffering
You get bullied both by the board and the metal general

try king crimson

The thing with prog metal is that most of it is amazing or terrible with nothing in between

that and it has shitty cover art

I'm not a huge prog metal fan, but check out Cynic - Focus

Dream Theater's problem is that they thought they were a good metal band. Every time they try to get "heavy" it's just fucking embarrassing to listen to.

Falling Into Infinity, their least metal album, is also one of their best for that reason alone. Yeah the songs that we're co-written by pop songwriters were pretty awful, but on the other hand, Vesuvian Skies.

Oh god, that was me at 16. I still like Images and Words in a campy sort of way.

Everything from dream and day to six degrees is pretty good. Everything after train is meh at best, which is when they started to get more "metal"
