 | tiesthatbind Yeah I know that feeling, about 3 and a half years or so ago when I got into Dream Theater they were the first prog band that I'd gotten into and I was just blown away. I barely listened to any other band for a while, I went through their discography quickly and was impressed by the majority of their albums. Even though I enjoy other prog bands more nowadays, DT is where it all started for me.

 | tiesthatbind So yeah Panopticon is amazing. Looks like I've found another discography to explore!
|
 | tiesthatbind I've meant to listen to them but for some reason I never got to it. I'll definitely check that out, I haven't been excited about much new hard rock in a while so hopefully they can change that.

 | tiesthatbind Glad you're liking DT, I don't listen to them as much anymore (burned out on them unfortunately) but Scenes From a Memory is a brilliant album and still one of my all-time favorites. Riverside is definitely influenced by them. They pretty much took elements of a bunch of different prog bands including DT, PT, and Opeth and combined them all into a unique sound. I guess I'll check Panopticon first, thanks. Almost as good as Chevelle, eh? ;)

 | tiesthatbind If you want a Buckethead rec, for you I'd recommend Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot, it's pretty metal-oriented but still melodic and one of his easier ones to get into. Now, which Isis album should I start with? I don't really have any experience with post-metal but I see Vheissu compared to them a lot and that's one of my favorite albums ever so I figure I need to give them a shot.
