The albums themselves have prog elements. Though I agree that the band as a whole doesn't sound like prog to the extent that a prog band would. But i'm only making a note of that because it can be confusing (to people like me) that the band is or isn't prog based on what they're listening to. I'm not saying I disagree with you at all. I just recently got into this band anyway, but I grew to love them a lot.
