Either general rock or progressive.
Anyway... I started listening to them with The Second Stage Turbine Blade. I loved it, it was like nothing I'd ever heard. And I was really impressed with each album that came out after, like each improved on the last. Until No World for Tomorrow, which I thought was a step back. I guess it just didn't offer anything I hadn't heard before, and maybe I was just outgrowing them. Because after a few listens the material fit fine in their discography...I just didn't have the urge to play it as much as I had with their other 3 albums.
So now I hardly listen to them. Claudio's vocals are definitely not for everyone, but for some reason I never had a problem with them. But since I've disconnected from the band over the past few years, it's a bit hard connecting with them again. I feel like I'm new to them and I'm not sure about them now. I think it's also that since that time I discovered them and The Mars Volta (around 2003), I've gotten into a massive amount of 70s progressive rock. So in comparison, this just sounds like pop now. I mean not really, but kind of like pop punk in comparison to Dead Kennedys or something.
