I have Court as a 4.5 mostly because the improv section goes WAY too long. Other than that I don't have lots of gripes about it.

Isn't there like a 15-minute track of just keyboard improv on Court?

Yeah that's the one I'm thinking of

Mindless wanking is one of the most annoying things about music if bands do it wrong

i duno



self-indulgence i guess



there's a very fine between putting out an artistic, technically sound, yet complex piece of music



and entering into realms of wanker-ism-ery

Agreed 100% with Chuck, Floyd avoiding pointless shredding sections and shit like that is what puts them above other prog for me

When they do instrumentals they fuckin' do them right

I really don't like that much improvisations, of course, they shows the talent of the members, but

it's just not my kind of thing :/

Ohhhhh. There's two instrumentals on Red but goddamn they are fantastic. Chuck Prog music is more on

an acquired taste. It requires patience to listen to imo. I remember when I thought a six minute song

was so long but now that's nothing to me.



Haha Rowan. DT is pretty good but far from the best prog metal out there imo

Definitely. I dig other progressive bands, but none are as tasteful as Pink Floyd.

floyd didn't really wank that much, i guess cos they weren't really as technically proficient as most prog bands which actually helped their music imo

Totally, they don't come off as pretentious at all which I find a fair few prog bands can.

Yeah Floyd went for atmosphere rather than technicality which is why they were superior

@Mongi DT were good back in the day but their latest albums are just wank fests with nothing but regurgitated ideas.
