Also, GENRE CHECK:
How do I recognise prog metal/rock?
You ask yourself:
Is this pretencious?
Or for better results:
Is this Dream Theater?
Or look out for unconventional stuff... acoustic interludes, variety of instruments (some not accustomed with Metal music), strange effects, unconventional time signatures, high levels of talent in the musicians, very long songs, a somewhat serious approach to the music (be it lyrically or musically).
Though this is the decider for me - to quote that 101 rules of Prog thing:
"The more something sounds like Images and Words, the more progressive it is."
