THE SICKNESS AND THE THEORY

I enjoy my cup of tea and classical prog like Yes and Floyd. However my tastes have began to grow heavier. This band satisfies in so many ways. Combine great piano and vocals with metal guitar that is more then that generic sound and add proggy lyrics which I still have to decipher and you have a great band. My friends all agree too, this is one band not to pass up. And one thing this site has taught me is just because you never heard of em, doesn't mean they won't change your life.

Upon writing this I am listening to Conception, a song off of The Sickness and the Theory and again am amazed by the music. It flows, growing from light to heavy with out being that over the top, angry, screaming, hail satan sound your parents think metal is. I am very traditional (70's-80's) in my tastes of music. I hate most of what I hear today, but this is an exception. I support this band and hope they continue making music like this.

A definite must for those who love stuff like 2112 and Operation: Mind Crime and don't mind some excellent piano(I can't praise it enough)

Oh yeah, and their cover art is sick. I guess in this case literally.
