"Progressive rock has never been the most accessible genre to dive into. Songs don't seem to end when they're supposed to; there's always an unnecessary drum solo forced into every other interlude; all manor of irritating tempo changes occur, and for the most part, it all just seems self indulgent... Who the hell even wants to listen to a glockenspiel solo for fourteen minutes?
These are all perfectly valid concerns to have when someone asks whether or not you like prog-rock - Man, even the name sounds ugly and uncomfortable - But if you're able to forgo your previous notions, and cast off your pre-conserved resentments, then you might find that prog rock has harboured some of the best musical endeavours in the game, if, you know where to look..."
