Great players but I dunno, they've always seemed a little too "out there" for me.

So true.

Their music is VERY, VERY indulgent I think.

A lot of progressive stuff is...

But the best prog has tight, specifically-crafted, focused arrangements a la DREAM THEATER, FATES WARNING, CYNIC, etc. Meandering around at the listener's peril is not acceptable in good prog any more than it is in any other genre.

All based on personal taste/opinion...there is no measuring stick.

where moth and rust destroy didnt do much for me. hope this changes that

TQT is progressive in thought and ideas... they don't need to be necessarily "Dream Theater" to be progressive.

rofl @ Dream Theater being in the same pool as FW and Cynic in terms of arrangements. Dream Theater is the genesis of Between the Buried and Me, which is an example of a band throwing literally everything at the wall at all times and 10% of it sticking. I would put say Zero Hour in there...maudlin of the Well...but not DT. Not even the early stuff, yeah it's better, but it isn't awe-inspiring or anything..

On their first three albums, they were. Now .... no way Jose.

So they finally landed a record deal then, and even convinced them to release Tes's solo stuff!

I'll def. be buying the new TQT. But the Tediquet I migh pass on.

Would not surprise me if they were going indie. To be recording in Summer and have it out immediately sounds like indie to me.

Getting Neil Kernon tells me otherwise. He's too expensive for TWT's own wallets

I used to really like this band....Then after being a member of Firestream a while bcak and seeing firsthand what a gaping bunghole their singer is/can be...soured me on them....

Wonder what he said to make you think that way?

He just comes off as a pompous, opinionated know it all dick. Plain and simple. I posted some opinion I had on a movie and he came on telling me I was wrong....and just got all assy about it...He was one of the reasons I left that place....

I noticed that he is a bit uptight sometimes.

Had a bad experience myself with him at FS. And it soured me the same way unfortunately.

I don't agree with him most of the time but that has 0% to do with my general disinterest in their new efforts.

I don't expect all players in every metal band to be my best friend and agree with me in every way in order to enjoy their music and support their efforts. I don't buy music for personal reasons.

That's great to hear....

I do. I expect them to wanna come over and hang out with me and give me free stuff and be my bestest friend in the whole wide world. Take me on tour with them and and and send me birthday cards.

I am curious as to what this album will sound like.

I guess they milked all the money they needed for the new album from their fans

Looking forward to it. I didn't do the pre-order thing on this one.

I WAS GOING TO DO IT BUT I DIDN'T. I WILL JUST HAVE TO BUY IT REGULAR WAY.
