Clearly a bunch of bands I grew up listening to took influence from these guys, so I don't know how I've never heard of them before. Throughly enjoyed this album even if lyrically is a bit nonsensical. But prog rock/emo is my vibe so I'm bias.

This must be what other people experience when they hear heavy metal and say "it's just noise". I gave it a go but honestly it was like listening to Jez try and play the saxophone for half an hour.
