Most of the song isn't a real polyrhythm, it's a "weird" 4/4. New Millenium Cyanide Christ is a polyrythm, Rational Gaze is, Bleed is, well, a lot of Meshuggah's songs are, you know xDDD
Sweet sweet video of this amazing metal band. I finally saw them live and am still in delayed shock. My body is slowly healing after the sonic punishment and it felt so fucking GOOOOOD!

obviously people who say polyrythms suck doesnt understand what´s so great with it.Then let me tell you,the thing that is cool with polyrythms is when the snare drum "changes it´s purpose" in the rythm,it´s being played in the same rythm while for example the kickdrums is being played in another,shorter or longer rythm,thus the snare drum "changes it´s purpose".If you dont understand that,then stop talking shit about the music.
i know wut u're sayin' but that's a pretty confusing explanation man... doesn't really help polyrhythms especially if they didn't get them before... some people just aren't ready for music that doesn't follow conventional standards.
yep.. songs like this rock once you kinda get the jist of it. but they are so unapprichiatated. its not somthing thats neccisarily "easy to head bang to" or play drums for that matter (and belive me i've tried) but no doubt a bunch of metal bands that have some talent are catching on and making some good stuff with these types of rythems like the ocean, sun caged, pain of salvation. see this is what music is all about. trying new things, making mistakes and rolling with it.
The concept of the polyrhythm is often in the feel. Like a drifting start point to a repeating riff. This song is in 4/4 (as far as I know.) You can pick time signatures by the emphasis on 1 of each bar.
The idea of polyrhythem is that there are actully two rhythms, so in part you are right. his hands are playing in 4/4 on this song. however his feet are not what they are playing i dont know, you would need someone far smarter than me to tell you that. but every section's tempo and rhythm is unique aswell. That is why bands like meshuggah deserve far more credit than they are given. They fit more complex mechanics into one song than most bands will put on an album
I think I can argue the feet are playing 4/4 aswell. An example: If you take a repeating section (a riff) that repeats every 3 beats and play it with the enfisis on the first beat each time - u could argue the riff's in 3/4. But if you play that same riff in 4/4 the enfisis would be on the 1st beat then 2nd then third. Do u know what I mean? ONE - 2 - 3 ONE - 2 - 3...etc = 3/4 or ONE - 2 - 3 1 - TWO - 3 1 - 2 - Three = 4/4 The song is in 4/4 so that is the time you try2 keep in your head.
well ya but in that case it would make as much sense to notate it
One - 2 - 3 - Four
1 - 2 - Three - 4
1 - Two - 3 - 4
= 3/4
if you really think about music you can notate the same music in any time signature you like and it can still be accurate. the idea is that there is one way thats easier to read. so that is the signature people will most commonly refer too. In polyrhythm however its harder to represent both rhythms with the most accurate time signature.
so in essence i would say you are not wrong but then again i dont know all the rules for reading sheet music. either way without a doubt this is a very complicated and intricate song.
mmyea, spelling polyrhythms wrong is only the first indicator you don't understand complexity when you hear it. poly=many. Also listen to Frederick Thornendal's solo album. It is like Allan Haldsworth on a bad acid trip.
agreed, well acually dude you ever thing that mitb89 and gabe777 are below the standard I.Q. and don't understand polyrhythums< i on the other hand love them:) sweet video
