Hey, thanks for the welcome... :D

My taste in music is all over the place, but one thing that I'm constant in is my dislike for rap and very little rnb. I like anything besides that really and sometimes just get hooked on one band at a time for ages. I don't think I've ever heard of Math Rock? I might know some bands and didn't realise they were of that genre? :-S

With Porcupine Tree you're right about the time signatures... I really love the fact that they can pull out an intricate complex song but aren't afraid to play a more simple song at the same time. With a few Prog. bands I sometimes find they try and over-complicate to really drive home that they're different. Porcupine Tree are different but they don't get lost in the ways these other bands do, they have the ability to produce a straight forward minimalist piece that still sounds amazing.

Welcome XD

Welcome, welcome. I see ElephantSack already gave you the run-around on Opeth. Forget everything he told you. Do you really want to trust a man with one arm?

If you were any sort of smarts, you'd check out Still Life first. ;) But hey, that's just me.

I'm looking for it tomorrow :thumb:
...and Blackwater Park lol
(ElephantSack has one arm? For real?)

I normally go out of my way to collect every album by an artist I like. So yeah, I've got St. Anger when it comes to Metallica unfortunately. I just like collecting I guess.
