Spock's Beard/TA
Ya know, if I had read this message three days ago, I would've wholeheartedly agreed - they're pop with progressive tendencies.
But one day last week, I was hammering away at work while listening to the station, and someone had requested "The Great Nothing." Suddenly, it all clicked for me. I thought it was great rock, and my "progressive meter" was off, and I really appreciated it.
I think V is their best album to date - really solid.
As far as TA goes, I think they sound too much like Spock's Beard. I'm afraid the new album is much like the first in terms of tone. I'd like the band to really be a new mix of the members they have - maybe sound a bit mroe like the Flower Kings if they had to lean one way or the other.
