What are your favourite progressive metal albums?
Sorry to be such a plebe but mine are AEnima and Lateralus, never heard anything better than that as far as prog metal is concerned. I absolutely love Disposition/Reflection. If you can recommend music as good as that I'd be grateful.
Why did Pitchfork gave a 1.9/10 to that album?
I know they are pretentious plebs and that Lateralus isn't anything special, but it's at least a 7/10. A 1.9/10 seems really unfair
Disposition/reflection has been stuck in my head all day. Any recs based on those songs? I'm very familiar with entire tool discog btw
I love those albums and songs too. To be honest I can't recommend anything as good as far as prog metal is concerned. Youre better off just listening to the rest of Tools discog or APC
I get a similar vibe from Have a Nice Life though.

Blackwater Park - Opeth
Portal of I - Ne Obliviscaris

Lucky for you, they have an entire review that details exactly why they gave the album the score it received.

They also gave Frances the Mute a 2.

The Lateralus review literally says nothing negative about the album
>8 minute proto nu metal songs
>progressive
>2001
>proto nu-metal
user it's okay to be retarded
>inb4 muh wank
>implying the music on Lateralus is different from any of these albums
Some of these make no fucking sense at all
I get stuff like Broken, Mr. Bungle, RATMN, but who the fuck considers Godflesh nu-metal
Their best
Without a doubt. Takes the conceptual songwriting of sfam pt 2 and blends it with their best production and virtuosity

Now fuck off
Train of Thought is damn good as well
It's great because it's constantly heavy but it doesn't have the prog like 6DOIT
I don't really have a favourite, but right now I'm in love with this underrated masterpiece.
is that ramsey bolton?
...
>This is an imposing, awe-inspiring achievement.
>7/10
Holy shit. Is it a requirement that you be a complete and utter pleb to work at pitchfork?
>sludge metal is nu-metal now
that Tool review has to be a joke right? it reads like a 13yo explaining their favourite weapon in Call of Duty.
