they actually said their next album is gonna have progressive rock influence.

They either will have a VERY GOOD producer with guts to take away 90% of their public, or they'll give me more reasons to punch each member in the face

hmmmmm muse, mastodon, the mars volta, opeth all bands with prog tendancies which are getting a lot of attention at the moment, i smell a bandwagon forming

well they're surely not PROG ROCK sounding
i mean, in the "style" called prog-rock. Like ELP, Yes or Gentle Giant or awesome shit like that.

oooooohhhh ok then.... my flat mate makes me listen to gentle giant, if they sound anything like that its gonna be a WIERD album

gentle giant ist krieg

Haha i heard this on the radio at work, totally made my day!
my colleagues all were like what the hell is he laughing about??

Devon sounds like quite the masochist.

Stalking a singer that brings most most people pain.

That's the age-old confusion in determining "progressive rock": Does it mean the musical style similar to that awesome shit in the seventies (=virtuoso musicianship, long and complex song structures, unusual time signatures and keys etc.), or the ideal of "progressive" music - seeking and implementing completely new and innovative ways of musical expression?

I seriously doubt Linkin Park will achieve neither anywhere in the near future.
Except maybe through "production".

yeah, that's my point
just for "cataloguing" reasons, i totally differ PROG-ROCK from PROGRESSIVE ROCK

when i say prog-rock, i refer to stuff that sounds like the amazing shit in the seventies, when i say PROGRESSIVE rock i mean the ideal of experimenting and all. But i just call something PROGRESSIVE when it doesn't sound like shit, a ton of people actually stand things that sound like shit just because it's experimental

Progressive, pompous sounding stuff seems to be forming into a sort of trend lately... I mean even My Chemical Romance are doing it

"Credit Green Day for launching the revival"
No.

"qualify as concept albums in some sense."

"well, i kinda need to prove my point, so if you consider this and that thingy that go on on like 2 seconds of the album, and repeats on the other song, you can really like, you know, qualify it as a concept......in a sense.... i guess..... no? really? oh.... okay... but still....... "
