Do I just not vote? Oh, sorry...

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.

I know you're long gone, but i still can't help but laugh at your mind blowing stupidity and hypocrisy, we'll miss you Don.

De Loused.
I liked both records. But some of the songs on Frances the Mute, fell short of what i expected out of Frances.
De Loused all the way.
My favorite song on Frances the Mute was pobably the one about His Mother the Ghost or something like that.
I liked every song on Deloused in the Comatorium

Peace
