>>121732086Clockwork Angels has higher highs but Snakes & Arrows is the overall more consistent album.
>>121732086moderately entertaining album. i generally don't skip it when it comes up on shuffle. one of their best post-80s albums.
>>121732086I like Malignant Narcissism, but none of the other tracks were particularly memorable for me.

>>121737747Math rock, though even mentioning that seems redundant given its prog roots
>>121738183Good shit, thanks anon
>>121732086I didn't complete this album because I feel it's just riff after riff after riff for me. I've had my fair share of criticism when it comes to synth-era Rush but going back to guitar-driven sound only to churn out songs that are just collection of guitar riffs without strong melodies behind them feels like a mistake. tbf though they're in their mid 50s by this time so maybe they just recorded this album for funsies. For additional notes, there used to be the documentary of making this album in youtube a couple of years ago but seemed it got deleted (although now that I just googled it, apparently you could find someone uploading it on facebook) and man, the friendship, even after being together for more than 30 years, was still very strong. They legit had a great time recording that album even though I thought this album is one of their worst records.
>>121736635seems Banks was hurting deep inside that Collins ended up becoming one of the most defining musician of the 80s and had great success of doing OSTs for multiple famous movies, also Rutherford was moderately successful with his The Mechanics effort, while Banks just didn't do anything of note for his solo effort so now he just churned out orchestra albums only few people listened.
>>121735708I dunno, R. Kelly's Trapped In the Closet ?
>>121740532>the friendship, even after being together for more than 30 years, was still very strong.Rush is one of those bands where there's a singular definitive lineup and it just wouldn't feel right if even one member leaves for whatever reason. (I know their self-titled didn't have Peart, but not like anyone remembers a single song off that album that isn't Working Man)
>>121743248Not a bad choice. The music in that is progressive in some way, as funny as it sounds
>>121744913are there any other bands that put out at least three albums that have a static lineup? it seems like prog is an orgy of members coming and going.
>>121748192if you count BJH as prog
>>121748192Off the top of my head I honestly can't think of another long-running prog rock band that's never had a lineup change since their first album, but in prog metal there's Mastodon and Gojira. Outside of prog there's Radiohead and obviously the Beatles.
>>121748192>>121748293Yeah prog metal doesn't seem to be effected by line-up changes that much.There's also Dir En Grey, formed in 1997, and still active without a single line-up change which is incredible considering how much their sound changed from being a shitty anime nu-metal band to being an avant-garde/progressive meteal band.
Could this be done justice live if Bob got three of his slave guitarists to play in perfect synchronicity with him?

>>121758476Fun fact that everyone probably already knows: Magma and Pink Floyd were planned to be in a failed 1970's Dune movie adaptation. Magma was intended to be the music for the Harkonnens while Floyd was intended to be the music for the Atreides. H.R. Giger was also involved in the adaptation and given that Giger ended up doing the album art for Attahk, it's quite likely that the band and him met through this failed project.
>>121760019Also, a French band named Dün released a Dune-themed concept album (Eros) and immediately vanished afterwards. While there's no confirmation of this, they may or may not actually be Magma secretly releasing the work they did for the movie under another name.

And you'd be missing the fucked up miracle garbage cymbal that carries more weight than you'd expect.

>>121764332How did you feel about the versions of those songs done by the 3 drummer lineup? They did every song except providence
>>121763040>>121764577U mad? The musics good, who cares if its obscure as hell?
>>121764888Checked.Those versions are what really pointed out that there's just something missing when the set up isn't exactly the same. Even the official Archive upload of that version of One More Red Nightmare still blends the percussion from the album version back in. >>121764973I'm not mad, it's actually reasonably good, if obviously derivative, which you can't really avoid at this point if you're going out of your way to replicate the prog sound. The low view count and weird name just make it seem like it's your project or a friend's that you've been sitting on for a decade hoping you'll be vindicated, because no one's coming across it naturally at this point. If it isn't, I apologize and would actually like to know how you did find it.
i am utterly obsessed with this fucking sound. I love the mending of psychedelia and prog that comes with the Hammond Organ. please send me some more of this. i'm aiming for more proggy than Deep Purple but more psychedelic than VDGG
>>121765129Uhh... have you tried Hawkwind?
>>121765244yeah i kinda liked their live album space ritual... besides that it didn't stir any emotions in me. They sound more like Gong than what i'm describing
>>121765028Its been posted on /mu/ on and off for 10 years, recently been posted more frequently in the prog generals. I found it on progarchives, its pretty cool what weirdness you find when you are bored and digging around. Why is a low view count a filter? They are obviously nobodies. I just thought it was cool. Im curious though, what you find derivative about it? One of the things I like about it is that its not obvious what the influences are. I feel like you gotta be well listened outside of prog to hear who they are copying.
>>121765559It kind of sounds to me like it's essentially all the stereotypical prog instrumentation being played by musicians who aren't terribly familiar with much of the prog genre outside of the biggest successes. There are points where it sounds like the instrument voices aren't constructing a cohesive sound, but playing their own pieces over each other. The guitar repeats the same conventional figures verbatim, without introducing interest. The parts that get the flanger effect don't seem to really benefit from it. It feels like a kind of skeuomorph that doesn't really have any intent behind it. There are synth effects that feel like they were just dropped in without any relationship to the patterns playing over them. If I really had to put it succinctly, it sounds like an act that was playing some more conventional, more recent subgenre of rock and they decided to try composing and playing something that could set them apart and credit them with revitalizing interest in a mostly deprecated genre. It's certainly not bad, what is there is definitely worthy of more exposure than it got over the last decade. I did really like the steel drum-adjacent synth sound, that feels pretty novel to me in this context, and the timbre of the drums does feel like it hits a middle ground between classic prog and heavier modern styles of rock, which is interesting in its own right. It's something that deserved to be built on rather than abandoned, because it does have unique merit which could have turned into a distinctive style.
i remembered 21st century schizoid man today :)
>>121765920I think that might be fair, I always thought the 5/4 meter and polychords were an attempt at copying bebop and modal jazz. The rest of the record is pretty interesting IMO. I think youre right in saying its probably less prog, than something else, psych-rock, post-rock mebbe, but I can hear a bit of the Yes/KC influence in there.
Fripp & Sylvian - The First Day
>>121764973>>121764577>>121762597Scores on Wikipedia are low, is it any good?
>>121765129Listen to Procol Harum
>>121766964I don't really get why people complain so much about other people looking up the broad reception of a given album or whatever, then asking whether or not that's reflected in a more dedicated audience with different tastes to the mainstream. There's nothing wrong with doing that. Why does it get treated like some kind of stereotypical dipshit question? Is it really down to "Listen to it yourself and come to your own conclusion?" What if there's only one good track on the album, but it's really good?
>>121766964Its on wikipedia? Progarchives gave 4/5 stars, and it has a 3.5 rating on RYM. I think its pretty great DESU, 4/5. Its ahead of its time a bit, explorative, and well produced. Alot of whats going on in it that I think someone might take issue with is intentional complex harmonies/counter melodies and rhythmic syncopations. Maybe its not abrasive enough? Not sure. Its got a VERY strong jazz influence, which is maybe to its detriment for a wider audience, but I thought it was honest, and managed to rectify that influence with other rock and DIY influences fairly well. If anything, I'd agree with the other anon that its a shame they didnt really do anything else or promote it very well. Its an interesting starting point.
>>121767065Meh. I think tastemakers are annoying, but I understand that most people have pretty narrow preferences for texture and harmony. Generally, Ill give most things a few chances to give me something Im interested in.
>>121767329There are only three ratings and one review on Progarchives, and five on RYM. That's hardly enough to consider properly representative. And personally, I feel that what you're calling "Jazz influence and complex harmonies" is just layering instrumental parts on top of each other at the same volume, not even separated by panning, without any real sense for how they connect. Most of the great Prog tracks that intentionally create that kind of feeling still have a closely considered underlying structure, which I don't feel is present in the track, it's one of the biggest weaknesses and the biggest indication that suggests it was an imitation of Prog rather than an iteration upon the concept.
>>121767556Maybe thats just the youtube version? I dunno, I downloaded it off bandcamp, and it sounds pretty good to me, I hear plenty of stuff panned around. Theres also a whole string section and horn section building those swells, and I happen to enjoy the texture a lot. Picrel came with the download package.
>>121765129
>>121765129Van der Graaf Generator is a trust fund band.
>>121769475Ok.
>>121767757I think what >>121767556 is saying, is that the mixing isnt exactly spot on for the style. It doesnt really take advantage of some of the layering going on. Though, I think if its using #9, half-dim7, and quartal harmonies, its certainly got some jazz influence.
>>121764973Why would I be mad? I just made a joke about unicorn porn. Why so defensive?
>>121767026I like the debut, can't stand shine on or salty dog.>>121767065we only really complain if it's wikipedia>>121767924I tried multiple times and it never clicked, but i've been meaning to try again cause i found out that the space shanty album cover was done by the same guy who made picrel's cover.

I don't like electronic sounds.
>>121803573Unless you're listening on some kind of horn amplified gramophone or something, they're all electronic sounds.
>>121803707electrical =/= electronic
>>121804952"Electronic" sounds are either pure waveforms or samples with waveform based decay, or they're pure samples. A digital audio file is just a single long sample, or if you want to get more technical about it, a bunch of tiny samples, all queued up to play in sequence. If you put a vinyl record on a modern player, the waveforms embedded in the disc are quantized and amplified before they get played. You could also say that almost no sounds are electronic, because they're converted into pressure waves by the speaker. It's a pointless statement to make. When you say >I don't like electronic soundsWhat does that actually mean? Waveform Synthesizers? probably. I assume that's what you meant. But does it also mean Mellotron and Hammond Organ, among others? If it doesn't, that would be an important distinction to actually make it possible to understand your taste. Maybe it even extends to processing effects like reverb, distortion, flanger, reversed playback. Does it extend to electric guitar and bass? There are electronic components involved with all of that, and their audible qualities are all derived from the way those components interact, and their places in the chain. Prog as a genre is defined by the aggressive and inventive choices musicians made as these technologies were made available and experimented with, this isn't the thread to make such a broad statement, to the point that it doesn't even make sense.
>>121804952All sounds that you hear with your ears is sent to the brain, which processes information through electrical signals. Ergo, all sounds and therefore all music is electric.
>>121805188i'm not that same anon>>121805260>equivocation fallacy
>>121805381There's no fallacy here, all I'm saying is that it's retarded and pointless to be so excessively general about a concept which is literally unavoidable within the topic of the thread. There's something more specific you actually meant and there's probably a good discussion to be had or some recommendations you could get that might suit your tastes better, or even change your mind, so you had no reason not to have said what you actually wanted to say.
>>121805260>the human body is 60% water>ergo, drinking a glass of water is cannibalism
>>121805381I was just shitposting, I thought it'd be obvious.
>>121805586nah. all anon meant was that he didnt like electronic instrumentation, but progfags are notoriously pedantic, nitpicky autists and tried to come off smart in the process, failing.
>>121805634What prog exists that doesn't have at least one form of electronic instrumentation? It's fine if you don't like it, I'm not saying you have to. But why post that in a thread about a genre which is partially defined by the presence of what you claim you don't like? Just to derail the thread slightly? I get that that's par for the course, it is 4chan after all, but we're just trying to have a discussion about the wiggidy woogidy music made by old narcissists. We're going to assume you're here because you also like it or are interested in learning more about it. I have no way of knowing whether something like that is a shitpost, an ESL not having the right word, or a genuine musical neophyte with no familiarity with terminology, all of which are OK. I'm just trying to help on the assumption it's either one of the other two. I wasn't nitpicking or being pedantic or trying to present myself as some big intellectual authority on music, I'll be honest, I have no sense for music theory or notation and my taste is entirely based on what I think sounds interesting.
>>121767329Your description made me check it out but I can safely say now that calling it the jazz influence "VERY strong" was a massive overstatement, though it was pretty good though.
>>121805772i'm not >>121803573but if i was i would assume he just meant synthesizers which admittedly haven't aged well and sounds incredibly cheesy. he probably just prefers prog that sticks to or at least prioritizes electric guitars as opposed to electronic keyboards. i dont see what's so "derailing" about that, i've bitched about most prog singers sucking absolute donkey cock compared to most mainstream singers. it's entirely on topic.
>>121805826I admitted he probably meant early waveform synthesizers, (which I think don't deserve to be dismissed as "cheesy" as a whole) the point of asking for more clarity was to initiate a discussion about what in particular he doesn't like so we can share alternatives and maybe even redeeming examples to possibly refine that opinion.

Are the last 2 gentle giant albums worth checking out or did they sell out too hard
>>121767065It's for filthy casuals. I do it too, everyone does it, there's nothing inherently wrong with it - most of us are filthy casuals in most arenas - but as a fan of prog rock, I know incredibly off base it can be. And it's not that "there's a dedicated audience with different tastes", it's that the mainstream consensus is wrong, because it's mostly a bunch of filthy casuals repeating received wisdom about music they've never personally listened to (I've done this also, it's pretty fun). The problem with the RYM/Wikipedia consensus is that it's frequently dumb and wrong because the broader listening public are filthy casuals with execrable taste and exotic brain parasites and their swinish appraisals of pearls are worth less than nothing.Why yes I've been a Rush fan for 40 years, what gave it away?
Is this prog? It kinda reminds me of Ashra.
When does Yes stop being a good band? I've listened to all of their albums through Drama and they're all great
>>121814408Going for the One - Tormado are a big drop in quality. Drama is actually their last really good album after that is either pop rock or really meh.
>>121813591Prog disco?
>>121814408Yes albums are bad because you can easily overlisten to them (except two).
>>121815230https://youtube.com/watch?v=RwPflNGGin8
>>121815336>you can easily overlisten to them (except two).Is one of them Revelator and the other Close to the Edge?
>>121815470Yes. If I never heard another song from Fragile or The Yes Album, I'd be perfectly fine.
>>121815116Tornado is definitely a drop but Going for The One is underrated, the only one of the 70s era album I'd call a dud is Tales From The Topographic Oceans, split that into two sperate albums and it's fine
>>121815116Going for the One is fucking classic

>>121722451I don’t visit this board often I’m actually shocked there’s a prog thread. Keep shredding in unison with keyboards in odd time signatures brothers
>>121814408The Ladder is their last listenable album, although if you admit that you also enjoy Fly From Here, then I'll understand since it's pretty nice as well IF you're talking about the version that had Trevor Horn in it.
>>121815428I only like their Undertow song
I see you're enjoying those King Crimson tracks on your personal digital device there, AnonYou DID purchase them from an authorized vendor, yes?
>>121818483I'm only speaking with Adrian, sorry...

Providence is underrated and I wish they had include the Cross/Fripp jam at the end.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h00am1BAD4
>>121725958We've actually had some posters who talk about argie prog, but it's always Charly's bands. Once in a while we could mention Spinetta too: https://youtu.be/mXyamTEFa6M?si=FmaMqV5S8fy8edTP
>>121753051How the fuck is WYWH not Pink Floyd?
>>121815566Too bad motherfucker, here's another session of Starship Trooper.
>>121821662i don't like it, therefore it's not pink floyd
>>121820924It fits better with Starless the way they did it. They thankfully added the complete improv as bonus track.
>>121823612this nigga gets it
>>121815116Going is pretty decent and a lot better than Tomato Tornado or whatever the fuck it's called, but it still gets brutally mogged by Drama. It's definitely worth listening to, but only if you curb expectations properly.

>>121815230https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nnf2j7exvg
>>121812947Giant for a Day is their worst. Civilian is the best of their last three albums and is honestly a good listen because the band fully commits to pop rock (whereas with The Missing Piece and Giant for a Day they try to do pop rock but with some prog and it just sounds like a mess).
>>121815230Does this counthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ3kV3Icm28
>>121821934Fair enough.
>>121805789I dont think its an overstatement. Theres just no horn solos. Everything else, with the exception of the Waltz uses standard jazz structures. Theres a lota of modal improvising it seems like.
>>121830247no there isn't
>>121813039Rush fucking rocks. P4k/RS types always shit talk them, but they sure didnt have a problem filling up arenas or touring sustainably.

It's so fucking good, do they have any other albums as good as this?

>>121844372if your song has been in a marvel movie it's unironically over for your song
>>121844366you suck
>>121844372It's one of those songs that's only good the first few times you hear it, mostly because it's both extremely repetitive and overstays its welcome, which are both the reasons it endures so much to this day. I imagine it's similar to the process that made most old folk songs into children's rhymes.
>>121832421Yeah. There are a couple of songs I liked on Giant for a Day but for the most part it's a worse version of The Missing Piece. Civilian is good, although it is the least prog Gentle Giant album
