Do I have to back it up? Just put on one of their cds, then after that put on any random real prog album on (see top20album thread), and enjoy the laughs.
EDIT (I decided to answer him properly): If we compare it to actual good prog rock then:
Their songs don't go anywhere. The singing is terrible in general (see Thom Yorke/Russel Allen/James LaBrie for actual singers). Basically, nothing exciting happens in any of their songs. There's no layering, and if there is it's just annoying experimental crap. The chords and progressions are simple and predictable. There is not one talented band member from what we hear, i.e no real guitar solos/keyboard solos or complex time signatures/key changes. Not to mention the appalling lyrics which I feel I could have written when I was 12.
