ok, noted. 

Any other samples? Via their Youtube samples, I cannot accept them as a progressive rock combo.

May I point out that these three are members of some of Prog rock’s biggest acts. May I also point out that every single other digital and print outlet which specialises in prog has featured this album.

It would be, in my opinion, yet another huge blow to the credibility of this site if this album were not added and made available for review to members such as Alan because of overly pedantic definitions of what constitutes progressive rock. sarcasm?!

Hi,

Bump, bump, bumpity bump.

^ Thanks, and 42 ratings there. The music I have listened to so far does not convince me that this is a good musical fit for a Prog site, even in related, but that’s my opinion. As progressive folk, I find Nick Drake’s River Man more relevant, for instance, I will listen to the whole album at some time., but I hope there is more to this being relevant to the site than the personnel having some Prog involvement. Traditionally, I should be swayed or not by the arguments that have been presented (especially from an SC who is championing it) but I have not seen that SC appraisal, nor do I find this thread convincing.   It’s a no from me for now based on what arguments have been given and material proferred, but then I haven’t been provided with the whole album to listen to, nor have I been offered a case that compels me. Having a Prog personnel relation on its own is not that strong, and I don’t know what beyond that people see here (nor do I see a consensus or the PA forum members generally getting really behind this).    If a response is expected now, then it would be no from me based on what limited materials have been presented, my listening, and the arguments I have seen.

And where are the links to all of those? An airtight case with lots of evidence should be presented. We have not even been given the album to appraise. There is an expected form to PR submissions, did you read that? You can resume this in the Collab Prog Related discussion thread and present all of your evidence and best arguments there. I’m locking this one.

Here is the link as I note you did not present a case there: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29489&PN=35

And it’s not sheer pedantry, it’s a process. If you don’t like it, find a site where you do.

EDIT:I will reopen this, and sorry if I seem snarky. I meant that for PR, it tends to be the arguments that make the case, and more effort commonly has been required to convince. Those notes on procedure are to inform all, and indeed this process will not appeal to all, but it was partially to limit PR additions (made it so it's tough to get in and requires more effort). I have listened through the album now. I do get some Kansas vibes and some CSNY in the vocals, and while it does get quite rock in parts, it does not convince me as being an album that should be added to PA.

When we as a team, please be patient as we all have other things on our plates, do make a final decision we will let people know (I'll try to remember to PM Alan then about the status of his submission). Thanks.
