melodic vs. metalic

[Yesspaz]

Actually, I've always thought AM, at least in the early days, tried very hard to NOT be heavy. No Dream Theater and the hundreds of prog-metal ilk. But then, I like some heavy stuff. Turing Machine was my donation, after all. I like AM. Whatever's rock and proggish is okay by me, heavy or not.

I could hi-jack this and mention that it's entirely possible to be both heavy and melodic and mention some band with Doug, Ty, and Jerry, but I won't.
