Wow, good post Razors. You're right about the time signiature thing, it's just an element that alot of Prog bands add. Rush played in 4/4 a lot & I've been listening to a lot of ELP lately & most of their old stuff seems like it's in 4/4. These bands definitely switch it up & change direction in songs, however...

By your definition PT might be Prog, but I don't think In Absentia is because the songs are short & straight forward with only some minor experimentation later in the album. Thing is that a lot of non-Prog bands do weird shit on albums, & PT just lay down some airy well produced bass lines in there a bit.
