Interesting point

[Aural Night]

I was listening to Moon this morning, a song came up, I liked it, clicked the cover to check comments at Amazon.com and found this:

"I love prog but a lot of the time groups sacrifice texture and creativity for technically impressive shows of force"

The comment wasn't meant to any band particular, but more like a general opinion. I very much agree with this point. When the technicalities become more important than the musical content, then something is lost. That's one reason I find it hard to like some bands, no matter how well they play. I refrain myself from mentioning any band names, lest this becomes just another flame thread.

Any comments..opinions..?

Cheers,
Miika
