80% of what I listen to is not prog, so the whole prog not prog thing doesn't register with me.
I'll listen to OOTU again and I'll figure out what bothers me. It's been a long time. Maybe it reminds me of a Coke commercial (although FM's "One O'Clock Tomorrow"'s chorus does the same thing, and I love that tune).
"Brother of Mine" is not exceptionally proggy either, but compositionally it's as perfect as a song can be (especially the last 45 seconds is just magic), and the playing is superior.
And finally, I'll leave the writing to the experts (although I used to make up full songs in my head when I was bored).
