It is strange with PANDORA. Though I like very aggressive and raw metal and I don't care at all about the progressive metal style, the metal elements in PANDORA don't sound out of place for me. Probably because of the genre hopping and not its stylistic integration. And this is the second strange thing... genre hopping with this band also works for me.

ReplyDeleteThe scary thing is... I understand everything your saying! It's so true.. the metal elements here definitely aren't typical prog metal (except the first two tracks on the debut). Before doing this article, I think I had the 3rd over the second as well. But changed my mind while going through each one back to back.
