I totally disagree that prog is pretentious.
Also, I find that Animals as Leaders is way more self-indulgent than most prog metal; lots of random chugging riffs, sporadic acoustic interludes and not much melodic substance. Just my thought. If you like that kinda crazy time-changing stuff, though, you should check out Planet X.

Yeah, I've listened to a ton of DT lmao. I'll check out those bands.
ps customstuff, only good song is Creature. The others are too wonky, imo.
ps new album. And it's amazing as ****.
