Nahhh man, chugstep!
'Swot I'm calling the thing they do in every song on the album but one and it always happens at some point inbetween the 0:40 and 1:20 mark.
And what I mean about cool peoples' music is that this style seems to be in vogue at the moment:
Very straight contrapuntal riffs.
Chugstep club metal.
Angsty/exaggerated emotional vocals and plinky, culturally sensitive, atmospheric strings of some description - guitar or alternative fretted wood.
Like this:
TESSERACT - Concealing Fate Part 2 - Deception - YouTube
But only with cool people.
I think rather than complaining about how much you hate the album, you could just give it regular old review. on whether it's good or bad. that's the kind of opinion that really counts. if there's some sort of derogatory remarks like "this is gay/sounds like dick because its trendy" then that's rude. but if you have an honest opinion even if it's negative then that's whats really appriciated
But yah there ARE a lot of bands that are coming out that have a Prog edge to them. just like in the 80's there were a bunch of metal bands that were like Metallica and Megadeth and Anthrax. and just the same with the 90's. It happens every 10 years no matter what theres always going to be that eye opening "omg I've always wanted to play music like that" bunch of people in the decade that the forerunner band(s) have behind them. it's not trendy it's just that genre's time to be experienced.
