ethan: surely if they're space-rock it's implied the solo will be too?
Muse Fan: maybe if you weren't an indie fag, you would understand
ethan: what's there to understand?
Muse Fan: no point in explaining
ethan: why not?
Muse Fan: you wouldn't get it
ethan: why not?
ethan: announcing youd like to get a 15 minute solo in our album reeks of pretentious dream theater-esque crap to me
Muse Fan: what is wrong with dream theater?
ethan: LOL
Muse Fan: let me guess
Muse Fan: you hate the prog part
ethan: I hate the shitty music part
Muse Fan: why do indie fags hate prog music
Muse Fan: is it because it is technical and you only play 3 chords?
ethan: they hate prog? Battles was hyped as hell in indie circles last year.
Muse Fan: lol but you hate it
ethan: I don't hate prog, I like Krautrock and Pink Floyd
Muse Fan: i've never heard of Krautrock i bet they suck.
ethan: AND I BLOCK YOU

So without actually hearing the music or even knowing for a fact that there is going to be a 15 minute solo, you call them pretenious? Not to say this guy doesnt sound like a douchebag, but you egged him on to begin with. How is a 12 minute lyrical solo by Barnes in 'The Past is a Grotesque Animal' any different or less pretenious? I love OM, its just different strokes for different folks. Going around telling people things you havent heard before are pretenious and then trying to use your music knowledge to back up your crediablity sounds pretty pretenious to me...
On a lighter note any idea when that album is suppose to come out? I would love to get my hands on that ****. I agree with you on dream theater though, they suck. Im sure they have some great music hidden inbetween their ability to run through a scales in about .02 seconds, but I too have trouble finding any of it.

Disproving something is much harder than proving it, since I'd have to provide every single bit of music they've done. So it's simpler to ask you to provide any example where they've been exhibited as a progressive band.

Actully disproving something is much easier than proving it. I can easily disprove the standard model of physics, but even the top physicist in the world can't prove it. Same goes for quantum mechanics. To prove something you have to be exactly right, whereas disproving something you only have to find one instance in which its wrong. So NO your wrong.
As far as them not being classified as prog rock, go listen to 'knights of cydonia' and tell me what you classify that as. I agree they arn't exactly YES or GENESIS or PINK FLOYD, but give me a break; that is not traditional rock. If anything I would lean more towards like prog rock / art rock with metal influences or neo prog as defined on allmusic, but really we are just spliting hairs. They are just an awesome band, go see them live, I dare you!
