I don't think so. They formed after that 90s influenced rock/metal phase, and although probably being influenced by it, I think they go a little beyond it. The reason I think this is that they have some progressive influences such as their going beyond the traditional verse-chorus-verse format, and their attempt to experiment with time signatures, vocal harmonies, lyrics, etc. Note that I said "attempt" - although they may not be up to scratch with people's standards of what makes a band progressive, they still try to experiment with these things. They also label themselves as "alternative/ rock/ progressive" and cite a lot of bands like Porcupine Tree and Tool as major influences.
I don't know, I just really like them. And if you're not impressed by their records I'm telling you that they were so great live - a very entertaining show.
