Yeah, but, lots of Prog has horribly ridiculous lyrics. You often don't
know it cause they're in Italian, French, Swedish, etc.
And if the lyrics are in English, I don't have a problem with them as
long as they keep 'em buried enough so you can't understand them.
Mostly there's enough 'trons and other Prog stuffs to do this quite
well.
The only thing that really matters anyway is the drumming, right
Scott ;-)
