Prog rock is death

EDIT: Trying to say that top positions in charts are occupied by different genres of metal. And the same thing in maybe 20 years past. Well, some years for sure. Not prog rock site anymore, more like prog metal :-)

Prog ROCK is death, long live Prog METAL

I don't know, but I think I even didn't fight with it. I gave 5-4-3 stars, respectively, to these albums. But as favourite genre, rock is declining a lot. I like it, but majority seems to don't like new bands.

That's absolutely helpful post Walter, really.

Alex, that's not the point of this thread. The main theme is that metal is strong these days. I contributed to this also, I'm not against it, but I would like to see more rock better rated these days.

Maybe it's not metal (to me, it sounds like it, what about death rock growl, sounds silly, don't you think?), but post-rock it's not at all. And if it's experimental (certain parts are), I see it as exp metal.

Lerts make one thing clear, Part the Second is not a metal album in any way, shape or form.

Metal, particularly Experimental/Post and Tech/Extreme as the calssic prog metal bands seem to have got badly stuck in their ways, is where a lot of the creative enrgies are being best displaye at the moment, whilst also garnering a wide amount of attention. Not a lot new has been brought to Symphonic and Neo prog for quite a number of years now (bar a few exceptions) and I think thats been well reflected in the ratings and general interest for these bands. As Logan points out, though, other genres like RIO/Avant and Eclectic are pushing out inovative albums as well, they're just not getting the recognition they deserve. 

Well, if it's not even 1% metal influenced, it's fine for me. So we have shift from experimental metal to experimental prog. Simply prog, that's safe to call it. Or isn't it ? Isn't, by opinions of some as I see :-)

Too many unknowns here, but one thing is for sure. PT is disappointment for me. But I see this as great year for Neo-prog, many good bands released their..
