And I think due to the mainstream elements it's better suited to Crossover than Eclectic (for me they're significant enough).
Just a music fan passing through trying to fill some void. Various music I am into now: a youtube playlist

Unfortunately they're too Eclectic for Crossover. LOL

They would personally fit best in Crossover or Eclectic (concerning such a wide range of styles, wider than most bands on the site) although Psychedelic and Heavy both fit different parts of their career.

I could never see them in Progressive Metal though. That would essentially be judging a band based on a few minutes of their expansive discography?!

Not progressive metal, agreed. But still, I would have to vote if not Crossover they should go in experimental/post metal.

Still, I can't see them ever as a metal band. Even in the incident, there was alot of stuff that was not metal at all. They are not considered a metal band. Metal as just an ingredient in their newfound mixing pot.
