![]() I have just discovered math rock over the past few weeks, so I am just now learning a little bit more about it.īesides the band Yes, King Crimson is another big influence on progressive rock. I personally like to listen to this type of music, but I don't think most people would be able to appreciate the subtleties in terms of the rhythms and such. I can understand why these types of bands wouldn't get a lot of radio airtime, though. I would be very interested to hear about some more bands that are in the same genre. I really enjoy Dream Theater, but it is hard to find similar bands to them that I like. I believe they are also classified in the progressive rock group, so I'm not sure why they wouldn't be included. I am assuming they would be considered math rock, right? Their music is very diverse in terms of arrangements and time signatures. I am familiar with the band Dream Theater, though. I have also never heard of math rock as a genre before. Bands that sound more like regular rock would be A Minor Forest and Marnie Stern. Some of the more experimental bands would be Breadwinner and Battles. Some bands are more "psychedelic" while others stick to basic guitar riffs like regular rock music. The other thing you will find with math rock is that it doesn't have one distinct sound. That's not to say they aren't a great band that incorporates a lot of the same principles as math rock, they just do it with a different style. I think if you listened to a little math rock, though, you would agree that Dream Theater doesn't really sound the same. Even that distinction can be a fine line. I believe that most people would classify them as a progressive metal band rather than progressive rock. ![]() July 2, - I guess it would depend on who you ask as to whether or not Dream Theater is included as a math rock band.
