I will never listen to a single album by them because of their atrocious album art
Jeremiah Brooks
try this
dream theater - hollow years live at budokan
Dominic Watson
One of my favorite bands. Imagine still being filtered by prog wankery.
Aiden Taylor
images and words is untouchable imo
Recs:
Symphony X - Divine wings of tragedy
Fates warning - Perfect symmetry
Xavier Murphy
rn i like Opeth more than all of those, Blackwater Park might be the best prog album of the 21st century
Gabriel Foster
Great band.
You should give Teramaze a listen.
Henry Green
I really liked their technicality. Amazing chord progressions, harmony, and melody. However, I feel like their music just doesn't convey emotional power. For me it's like listening to classical Etudes. They exhibit great skill, but kinda lacking in entertainment capability. Just my opinion. Please don't roast me.
Jacob Bell
Great to see them live, but I can't listen to any of their albums at home.
Opeth is in a league of its own.
Adrian Peterson
Dream Theater is not bad at all. Their reputation has come from the fact that they are trapped between prog rock fans that don't like metal, metal fans that don't have any attention span, and their mainstream popularity exposing them up against a general audience that typically cannot appreciate theatricality.
Try Naishikyo Sekai. It's similar to Dream Theater but with a schizo The Sound of Perseverance/Watchtower spin (actually don't try it if you dislike those)

If you like Opeth check out Anekdoten, it's like Opeth + King Crimson

Don't like their music at all.
Like watching Mike Portnoy drum.
Also John Myung is only person I've seen pull this off live.

Camden Miller
have you tried haken?
Jayden Robinson
i don't agree with you but your opinion is respectable. cover art is important.
Andrew Jackson
They're good, but I really miss Kevin Moore. The romantic/neo-classical element made them so unique, now they're still the standard but the crowd has definitely closed in.
If you're into more melodic prog metal:
Orphaned Land - Mabool
Katatonia - The Fall of Hearts
Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane (and The Perfect Element Pt. 1)
Fates Warning - Long Day Good Night
Styx - Crash of the Crown
Ryder Hall
I find the instrumentals aren't as interesting as people think they are. The solos are often shred style and really repetitive, not saying much, not even technically interesting, just shreddy. I like their slower songs like spirit carries on where they get melodic.
Aaron White
live scenes from new york is the greatest live album of all time. the astonishing is one of their best albums.
Nathaniel King
When I was 12 I thought this was the best album in the world
If I was gay I would still listen to it. Actually I'm gonna listen to it now
Hunter Wood
tried to listen to it and yeah it's beautiful but at the same time I don't get how anyone can listen to this shit. is it because im not gay? it feels like some weird illuminati shit. There is some greatness here but the way to really appreciate it is to be completely brainwashed on some illuminati shit. It feels like the me that was still brainwashed by 90s and early 2000s movies was able to love this album but after breaking out of that mainstream media reality it doesn't really hit.
