Ritual de lo Habitual

Yes, side 1 is basically funk metal / alt-rock. I know.
But side 2... I kinda feel like side 2 is some kind of prog masterpiece. The second side of Ritual de lo Habitual outshines the first half of that record to the point where I only listen to that first side just to get to "Three Days" and the other three songs.

Look, I know that the "purists" here won't think of it as prog. That's fine. But as far as putting the PROGRESS in PROGRESSive rock, I'm curious what other folks think of that incredible side of music.

	I will have to listen to it again. I do remember seeing them live on the nothing shocking tour and they were amazing.
