Oh good, I was thinking that was just me.

Anyway, calling PT "prog metal" simply based on the fact that a handful of their songs have a few bits that could be construed as sounding "metal" is just silly. There were literally zero metal elements in any of their material before In Absentia (by far the bulk of their discography) and even after that the elements that could be considered metal are extremely sporadic.

Porcupine Tree are a rock band. I don't even feel like going into whether that should be prefixed with the "prog" qualifier or not. But they certainly aren't in any way a metal band.
