Jazz for the Indie rock listener
The Bad Plus is a jazz trio to which there has always been a special attraction in the Indie and Alternative rock scenes. This is jazz for young people. It is well crafted, intelligent, and fun without being longwinded (as jazz goes) or...

Excellent!!
Prog is the best work by the Bad Plus so far. The only song I could have done without is "Everybody wants to Rule the World," but, you know they didn't ask me. Anyway, immediately following this opening number is my favorite song: "Physical...

A Very Fine Mixture of Different Styles of Music
This CD could be labeled and dismissed by some jazz purists who are very narrow-minded as poppish jazz. The truth, is that this cd, along with the other bad plus cd's, cross different styles of music. This group has an original style. I get too...

One of the best albums of 2007- period.
It really seems to me like several of the other reviewers have never seen The Bad Plus live. If you have, the questions about their authenticity and aesthetic just melt away. Really digging music is all about trust. If you trust the musicians,...

7.5/10
First of all, it should be noted that this is not a "prog" album as most people would define the term. Although it is progressive in many ways, as is most of what the Bad Plus does, it is not really identifiable as "prog" or "progressive rock."...

Challenging and Rewarding
Prog is much better than their recent live CD (Blunt Object). On Prog, they explore contemporary pop/rock standards like Tears For Fears' Everybody Wants To Rule The World, David Bowie's Life On Mars and Rush's Tom Sawyer along with their tight...

In some ways Bad Plus's best album yet
Overall, I would rate this as the Bad Plus's best album. With the excpetion of suspicious activity it has the best songwriting and it has the best adapations of cover songs of all bad plus albumns. The covers are are good choices and the...

A good entry into jazz for rock fans
As a rock fan - and a prog rock fan in particular - I was intrigued by the concept of this CD so I picked it up. And I must say that I love it! I've always dabbled a little bit in jazz, but this recording fuses the two genres in a way that I...

More touch needed on the quieter songs
The Bad Plus return with another mixture of deconstructed covers and originals. "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" is done softly and less Bad-Plusy than covers on their other discs. Or, you could say it's done jazzier - the main sing-along...

Does anyone really LIKE listening to this music?
I can't quite shake the feeling, after listening to this alien music for the past week or so, that I've been duped. And though I think Prog is somewhat of a recovery after Give and (esp.) Suspicious Activity, I can't bring myself to totally sign...
