Dude, that's what I did, but still I can't understand their addition here. If it's so easy to be added to the PA, than nearly every band would fit in, that's a fact!
BTW: ANATO is added? Okay, why not Powerslave?Confused

^ I also don't know why people think that ANATO is their most progressive album ... Nightfall is twice as prog.Wink

I agree with the categorization, but I think two genres would give enough clues to a listener.  Progressive Metal and Extreme Progressive would be sufficient classicication for now on the site.


Why not do further splits while you're at it? With only those two genres people would still get these associations:

  • You like Riverside -> maybe you'd like Tool
  • You like Anathema -> maybe you'd like Ron Jarzombek
  • You like Pain of Salvation -> maybe you'd like Rhapsody
  • You like Cult of Luna -> maybe you'd like Dream Theater
    LOL

I just think that's all we can really hope for right now.  I'd like more genres too, but it just doesn't seem like it can be done right now.

I just think by making two categories for extreme progressive metal an progressive metal, we will relieve the biggest misleading factor that
 
  • You like Death-> maybe you'd like O.S.I.
  • You like Dillinger Escape Plan-> maybe you'd like Pain of Salvation
  • You like Borknagar-> maybe you'd like MagellanLOL

^ fair enough.LOL But from a technical standpoint it doesn't make much difference how many new categories you introduce ... you have to go through the list of PM bands and move them.

BTW: I'm volunteering to do that ... all M@x would have to do is create the new categories.

When you move a band, do the reviews move as well?  I would hate for my Into Eterniy, Opeth, Death, and Vintersorg reveiws to be lost forever. LOL

Why should the reviews be affected? It's like moving a band from Symphonic Prog to Art Rock.Smile
