It's essential listening. I'd go so far as calling it essential for people who don't care about prog in the slightest. At least for some of the tracks like "Advent of Panurge" or "Think of Me with Kindness."

>>72683798
For some reason, their other albums have been indigestible for me, even though I'm not a stranger to experimental music. I'm definitely planning on a revisiting their discography. I'm sure Octopus will be your instant favorite as it was for me.

>>72683758
Funniest? I've read about that, though I didn't find Octopus funny. On which albums is their humor most present?

>>72683317
You start. Close to the Edge is the embodiment of negative prog stereotypes - shitty word salad lyrics, bloat, wankery, shitty mixing, etc.

I just revisited this album and even though I would still consider it incosistent, the shrieking tenor sax on Alifie sounds like it hurts the person playing and it sounds like stabbing someone. Little Red Robin Hood Hit the Road (the last song) is beautiful, demented, but catchy in some way. His vocal style is really something else. I look forward to listening to his discography now.

I'm the one who posted Octopus. In comparison to Octopus, their self titled is quite weak. I mentioned that I couldn't stomach their albums past Octopus and even Free Hand and Acquiring the Taste, so I'm not a good judge of those, until I revisit them.

>>72687712
>>72687763
I love the first track up until it gets boring with the five or so minutes of solitary violin noodling. Makes me want to fall asleep, and I say that as a violinist who loves Cross's playing. That said, the six or so minutes at the beginning? Pure genius. I also love Book of Saturday and Exiles for the mystique and intrigue of Wetton's vocals, the haunting Mellotron, and that backmasked violin (very nice touch).
I'd rank the tracks:
>Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part I
>The Talking Drum
>Exiles
>Book of Saturday
>Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part II
>Easy Money

Now you must listen to me:

>Rush had one good song ever - Working Man - and it was basically a Black Sabbath ripoff

> King Crimson is the gold standard for prog

>Hocus Pocus by Focus is the Great Grandad of prog songs

>Robert Wyatt should have a statue in his hnor in every city with a population over 50,000 in the entire world

>Adrian Belew was the master for 20 years

>Graham Coxon of Blur is the 2nd best prog guitarist of the 1990's, after Bernard Butler of Suede

>Mars Volta was the last truly prog band and I loved their latin influences.

>Prog is now either reductive redux or stoner metal. The latter of these two options is not a bad thing.

experimental, time changes, operatic

>>72690909

So was my comment >>72690993

I am sure there is other prg music out there, I have just not heard anything that really challenged me since Mars Volta.

Most of what I hear is copy/paste of something I have heard before, or is completely atonal or just slop.

Or - its stoner metal.

Dark side is gorgeous man. Floyd's only true 10/10 for me. Everything clicked on the album. Waters isn't too preachy and self absrobed, Gilmour comes through with some of the most gorgeous guitar work, the harmonies and choruses are all flawless, it's experimental but catchy, every song is memorable. idk mane i love it.

What is the definition of progressive here? I feel like art-rock and prog-rock are both on a continuum. Prog rock cares much more about instrumental virtuosity, while art rock focuses more on the non-linear song structure.

Either way, I'd call Shudder to Think a prog/art punk band, with a 90s alternative rock flavor.

All genre is a continuum.

It was always that prog adopted the energy and performance aspects of rock, but eschewed its blues roots (Greg Lake explains this very well in various interviews). Sadly, lately people have started taking the likes of Christgau seriously and started using the term synonymously with art rock, so that quite blatantly not-prog things like Pink Floyd can be included.

>>72700123

If you were disappointed with Faust, like I was with their studio albums, listen to this and be done with them. It's a shame really for such a creative band.

"It is our goal to expand the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of being very unpopular. We have recorded each composition with the one thought - that it should be unique, adventurous and fascinating. It has taken every shred of our combined musical and technical knowledge to achieve this. From the outset we have abandoned all preconceived thoughts of blatant commercialism. Instead we hope to give you something far more substantial and fulfilling. All you need to do is sit back, and acquire the taste."

Normies are the mouth, Gentle Giant (or maybe just prog rock in general) is the peach-ass.

How can you think SEbtP is better than this

>>72705475
Not a huge fan but I'd imagine SEbtP is a more complete album whereas Suppers Ready completely overshadows the rest of Foxtrot.

>>72705327
I mean, Vander did literally call Africans and Indians subhuman degenerates in an interview, perform mock Hitler speeches during his drum solos, cover his room in Nazi memorabilia, include a swastika on one of his album covers, and quote the Horst-Wessel-Lied and attribute it to "J.G." (Joseph Goebbels).
Also, I feel that Nazism is something else entirely different from "different views." It is literally predicated on genocide. If you support Nazism, you are inherently in favor of genocide. Not only that, you are in favor of killing those who would stand in your way, including those with different viewpoints. Can't you see how somebody would be at least mildly unsettled by the fact that the musician they are listening to wants them and their ilk dead? However, yeah, when you're talking about liberalism vs. conservatism or whatever, then I do agree that it's kind of stupid to stop listening to the musician solely based off of that. If you're a liberal and the musician is a conservative, it's just differing viewpoints. Neither one wants the other dead, neither advocates genocide.
I do recommend giving that a thorough read. There's quite a few more pages you can read more about if you Google "magma nazi/fascist" without quotation marks.

>>72705729

>>72705772

My point is that the political or other views of the musician cannot change an already existing album. So why not enjoy it if you did before even if the musician is the maddest of madmen? But I understand that certain people might feel uncomfortable.

You're not even replying to the same person, you illiterate fascist.
And, no, I'm not Jewish. I'm just a person who doesn't want to exterminate Jewish people, so that is enough to make me a target of Nazism.

>>72706206
Well, the way I see it, music is very personal. It is essentially the musician speaking to you personally, heart to heart. So imagine you had a good friend, one that confided in you and one that you confided in. And one day he walked up to you and told you he was a Nazi, always had been his entire life. You'd start to see all your previous interactions with him in a far different light knowing that he was bent on exterminating you, your family, and all minorities, would you not?

>>72706531
>would you not?
Since I don't view music and musicians that way, I cannot anwer that to be honest. Apart from that, to be sure what is the true personal view of a musician and what might just be slander from other or sense of humor or whatever, you would need to ask the musician himself.

Fair enough, but you can at least see why others who do feel that way would be turned off from it.
>Apart from that, to be sure what is the true personal view of a musician and what might just be slander from other or sense of humor or whatever, you would need to ask the musician himself.
Fair point. I guess it is a bit hypocritical of me to state that Vander is a fascist based solely on his usage of fascist imagery, as I have in the past defended and enjoyed bands such as Devo, who did also employ fascist imagery, from claims of fascism as pointing out how they were only used as provocative performance art, in a sense. However, I do find that quote about Indians and Africans being "degenerates" to be proof enough that these rumors are, at the very least, partially truthful. Not to mention the interview wherein a musician who had personally worked with Vander.
