Album Rating: 4.0

Then let's call it prog metal instead of "prog" (which is often used to refer to progressive rock), they're too different





You don't say punk when you want to refer to post punk

Album Rating: 4.5

there's a ton of progressive elements on this album. check out the time signature changes on the title track, or the through-composed structure of One, or the metric modulation in Eye of the Beholder.



there's lots of weird shit on here that a standard thrash metal band wouldn't even dare think of imo. but it is borderline. I can see where naysayers to the label in regards to this album are coming from.

@MySirLordGentleman: prog is more of an adjective than an actual genre on its own. progressive rock is rock with progressive elements. progressive metal is metal with progressive elements.



when you call something "prog" it just means it has prog elements. it's not really a distinct genre on its own because pretty well any genre can have the term attached to it.

Prog was a musical movement during the late-60's and 70's more than anything else. Since then it has just become an adjective that is used to describe forms of music with any elements that relate to or resemble characteristics from to that movement.
