I only have one Oceansize album, but I would say that prog or progressive spring to mind when I listen to it

I think even Radiohead have been smoked out with an interview for Classic Prog in the next issue. They’re also going to be covering Oceansize soon; I think they’ve also been ‘Prog-Deniers’ in the past.

I’ve been a PT fan since the mid 90′s; the debate over the “prog” label has always struck me as irrelevant and a waste of time, especially when we get into “neo-prog”, “prog-metal”, etc.
For me the irony of the new album is that after one listen, I liked it and my appreciation has grown the more I listen. On the other hand, FoaBP took me many listens to appreciate; if it had been released by any other band, I probably would have stopped listening to it. After seeing it performed live, my opinion completely changed – I couldn’t stop listening to it.
