I hope all you guys got Black Clouds and Silver Linings today. It's really a return to form for Dream Theater; it's so much better than Systematic Chaos, and even Octavarium.

Great stuff! I had never heard of these guys. Very much sounds like instrumental Voivod to me, which is a good thing...

The fine line between jazz and prog. Somewhere between rush, yes, and weather report.

Lemur Voice (a Dream Theater clone). This was a popular album at the time. They are from Holland, and the singer has a bit of an accent that makes him hard to understand at times...

The Pixies????

Seems more like punk/alternative to me...

I guess no alt/punk band had anything to do with "progressive" metal... whatever that means.
