They're nothing like Dream Theater!

PT started out psychedelic and gradually went in a more prog direction, and added metal influence as Wilson discovered bands like Meshuggah, Opeth, Morbid Angel, Esoteric etc.

I suppose they're poppier than your average prog band. They're a combination of a fair few genres and there's no technicality for the sake of technicality with PT.
