Give this a listen, it might change your opinion on prog metal.

Listen to good prog metal like Devin Townsend and Leprous

nigga, tool is the epitome of boring pretentious bullshit music

fact that

Have you actually given lateralus a listen though? It might pleasantly surprise you. Tool's fans are terrible, but they make good music imo.

Says everyone ever on Sup Forums, yet they are still brilliant to listen to. One can only hope Opeth will make a new album in the days of Blackwater Park

i have tried many times man, but is just boring as fuck to me and comes out as very pretentious

I wouldn't even mind soft Opeth if they were just making nice Damnation ditties, but the last few albums have been really weak. Shame because Morningrise-Watershed is an amazing run of albums

none of these are good at all, also

wat?

>not prog metal

?

Great examples

Maybe prog rock

It's not prog metal. Alternative rock at worst, prog rock at best

I think Tool is just alternative metal. The same happens with other "prog" related bands like I don't know, Oceansize, Rishloo, etc. It's just some post-grunge/alternative rock stuff with some longer songs.

>*cough in Avant-Prog*

this shit is even more pretentious and obnoxious than prog-metal

Agreed

>Metal = great
>Prog = great
oof

Back to Pitchfork indiecucks

All of those bands are boring. They don't invoke anything visceral like good metal should.

Dillinger and Gojira now are considered Prog?

>Prog-Metal = boring pretentious horseshit

That's true most of the times, Dream Theater are a good example of that.

there's like 0 art in 90% of metal
and so much of that 10% is either cringe or faggy
