Clearly this is not for me. Melancholy alt-rock with melodies I can't remember. That pretty much sums it up. I've tried over and over to get into them and I honestly don't hear it.
Then I went back and listened to Variations on a Dream (2003). Aside from the fact that at times the vocal lines remind me of Smashing Pumpkins, this album is a lot more melodic than what I hear now. It's still melancholy but has a kick to it at times. I'm not saying it's Prog the way my brain listens for the genre, but I enjoy it while I'm listening to it. There's that. I guess the Smashing Pumpkins connection in my brain doesn't hurt either.
