I guess if anyone can say he has listened to many a prog rock band for more than twenty years it has to be me and I just don't get Tool and Porcupine tree/Dream Theater...I've listened and find it boring. Sure it's technical and masterfully played but I could find many younger bands that sound much better and more original.
This band is in my city and I would rather pay to see them
