@SB87JB i guess sarcasm hard to portray over youtube. But please, dont tell me or anyone else what we wouldnt appreciate. Thats all i did for three years was study that shit, so it would be for the best if you didnt act like your the only person on youtube that knows music theory. But the fact of the matter is , the reason these guess arent bigger is because theyre just not entertaining to listen to, plain and simple. Yea sure you could call it art, but that doesnt make it entertaining
Lol at the ppl here that like this for the fact that its different just for the sake of being different. Mindless uninspired fret-raping. PS using diminished chords the whole song doesnt make ur song artsy, or brutal, or underground, or "you-just-dont-get-it-y" (haha look at me makin up words, IM GEORGE BUSH!)
@FutureMG they use much more then diminished chords. they also use a healthy amount of hexachords, tone clusters, heavily tensioned jazz chords, as well as tone rows, palindromes, octatonic scales, and other cool things you wouldn't appreciate.
this is about understanding ..pfft .... this music ( can i call it that ? ) has no meaning other than it being " technical " thats all it has and if i just wanted to be technical id go rub my balls over a korg synth and see what shit comes out it , seriously .. you love this band because you think that being different is cool .. no sorry theres being different and theres being a tone deaf fuck.
Basically, with all due respect to everyone watching, the people that have a problem with this music simply just don't understand it. Schoenberg had a very similar reaction, yet years later he is cited as a visionary. People are scared of things they don't understand, so they dismiss it as shit. I feel sorry for them ;)
@ZanderPodraza ... actually they make me think of edgar winter group their song frankenstein. I think people don't understand the concept of the change of flow in a song or tonality. I'm just hearing of them for the first time and I"m giving my own opinion and I think theyare good, but people who are too use to todays music wouldn't really understand it.
at first i was like, wow this is worse that the shit i took after 4 straight days of nothing but taco bell, but then i listened to it and these guys are pretty sickk! im glad i stuck with it and didnt exit the page :) and now im gonna go look up what an arctopuss is xD
I love this particular song a lot because of how dissonant and ambient the whole thing is. Also at around 4:16 I love when the drummer goes from the fade in/out of the snare roll to the cool groove then back to the snare roll then groove again. Such a cool changing of pace. Fucking creative.
its funny cuz if i hear lady gaga or any of that stupid shit it annoys the hell out of me...like bad!?but i can listen to this so called noise and find it interesting and cool..
It literally makes NO sense to my why a lot of people give this band shit for being just technical nonsense. If you listen to their songs, they experiment with all aspects of music, from rhythm (especially in this song) to melody, to even just sonic oddity. This band is genius in this aspect, and deserves nothing less than praise.
@ixrxthethorn youre absolutely right, i cant find any bad in this, They all just hate this band because the dont have singer -.-... I mean look at those stops! at 1:07, 1:16, 1:24, 1:28 and so on, they like have totally fucked up time signatures but they still perfect the silent parts :P i say making the songs sound good with this style is almost impossible :)
@MusiciansBryan we're used to hearing music constructed in a certain way, and when something this chaotic and disharmonious hits our ears, it fucks with our perception of what music should be. This is just noise, but it is constructed noise, which is all music basically is. First time I heard these guys I thought they were fucking horrible, but I could respect the musicianship. They're starting to grow on me though. O love weird shit and fresh approaches to writing music.
Why do they want to sound like this? Isn't the idea of performing to have people enjoy it? Musicians prob think it's cool but who cares what they think. To capture 10 idiot fans who think exotic scales and off time signatures are cool is easy. Capturing millions of fans that like songs with meaning, that's not so easy. If it was easy, we all would be nickelback.... ;).
Please tell me you're joking and you know it's a reference to "The Prisoner". (it was a British show in the 60s; the main character (the Prisoner) was referred to as Number Six)
After all, Iron Maiden was referencing the show with that song. Or this is somehow a reference to a reference, in which case congratulations to Arctopus for being one of the few/only bands to pull that off.
@Havohej26 Ahhhh I gotcha. I still stand by my point, however, that if they know about the show as well, and their referencing the song, that they're possibly making a reference to a reference and pulling it off.
Sounds like a bunch of kids in the kitchen playing with pots and pans, or at least the dumbass on drums does...the other two sound like they would be better playing with their teeth. Horrid...
These guys are really really good at being REALLY REALY BAD. This style is called "Trying to play metal but being really bad at it but being really really good at being really really bad. ..... :D
@2jordann2 waist?! you're a waste of a mind, learn how to spell, jesus, spelling one word in the spelling of another word that has the same sound is pure ignorance, learn the difference between WAIST(your fucking hips) and waste(trash) jesus fucking christ man!
its so strange, that these guys know excactly what they're doing, but it sounds like some 8year olds who touch their instruments for the first time....
I 'get' this band, as in it's supposed to be avante-garde, have offbeat timings etc...
But I fucking hate it. It's pretty much fret guessing and hoping for the best, then saying "we meant that" no matter how shit it sounds. You can glorify it as much as you want, but I still sounded just as 'good' after 5 months of playing guitar and not knowing what scales were.
@CakeDestroyer OK, listen to this: youtube.com/watch?v=ZH-eBzbth40
I could easily say that if you don't like it, you don't 'get it'. I could bash a spoon against a pickup, and say "you don't get it" when you tell me it sucks. It's all very subjective, but my point is Behold the Arctopus really aren't as mindblowing as people claim them to be. To me, it sounds like people are merely attempting to prove how much more 'elite' they are in their musical taste.
@CakeDestroyer Forgot to mention I do actually enjoy some of their songs (I like jazz and tempo changes, so it makes sense that I would), just... you know, it isn't really -that- good.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is not music. there is nothing musical about it, just because its in a chord structure (is it really?) and there's more than one instrument playing, that does not make it musical. its like a bad buckethead song, and i should know those since i have about 20 of his albums. this is not something that should be listened to for pleasure. mind you, i do like the excessive bass guitar he's playing tho hahaha
@bobsizzlack008 i can show in many way that this is music but ill stick to saying that it wasnt made to be easy to the ear and u gotta follow this with ur head, not ur heart
this is complex music (idk about chromatic scales and the 12 key time signature) but i know I cant play it and its fucking complex
these guys have nothing to do or to compare to buckethead
theyre doing atonal/off the scale songs while buckethead songs are structured and doesnt switch time signature like these guys does
@bobsizzlack008 All music is is sculpting sound. Since these people are making all kinds of sounds and noises and consciously putting them together, this is music and thus musical. Any noise is music and any music is noise.
@realityfiend12 I will disagree have given my opinion, since i am human, an individual who is therefore entitled to have an opinion, because to not have my opinion is to not be human, to not be unique, to not be alive, to think, to feel everything that is being-human.
I listened to this song on my ipod... but then I found I was just sitting in my room, listening to it until the whole album was done.....I fucking Love this band
@volvvoraggarn im sorry you are that ignorant, why dont you go beat off to a shitty song by lamb of god that any 15 year old with a guitar can play, chug chug chug chug, omg thats so mind blowing, ohhh he screamed some shit, ohh they just play a generic metal riff omggg, fucking noob, bta fuckin pwns your pathetic ego
@Nashology123123 i have a girlfriend, friends, a job, and i'm making almost perfect scores at a prestigious college. i love this band with all that i am. this isn't shit, you are ignorant and egotistical
i bought the cd of skullgrid at a closing down f.y.e, shit was only $4! well worth it, it pisses off my neighbors when i blast you are number SIX!!! and the last song that has a jordan rudess continuum solo. lol.
Okay, I appreciate what you have to say. I still don't like your view an Cannibal Corpse. Other than that, eh, I guess this band is pretty damn polarizing, I love them, you hate them. We'll call it that.
these guys are talented, but there's a total lack of emotional intensity(at least for me).... and if there is emotion, it's more like bewilderment and a structured chaotic feeling... this is structured as hell, but in the end it just fades into the background like white noise. I love technical music, but I also like a bit of repetitiveness to emphasize amazing riffing...
@m0rBidPsych0sis666 I'd like to see them build off of the bit at 5:21 - 5:50 and 6:01 and 7:39 there is more than enough there for a broader based song with some good repetition, at least I think.
...And if you actually bothered listening to more than one song, and actually bothered LISTENING to the riffs, you'd realize that they repeat phrasing and riffs quite a bit. Maybe you should 'observe' the music a little more before you judge it in such a one dimensional way.
ummm... I've listened to a whole album of theirs... and I disagree with you, buddy... they're just to progressive for their own good... it's like a symphony of transitions... and the lack of emotion is still a problem for me... I mean, why listen to something that you don't enjoy listening to?(I speak for myself) Although I admit they do have their moments, it's simply not enough to keep me interested...
You say they don't repeat riffs. If you listened to them you would have realized that they do. I highly doubt that all of the phrasing and riffage that I hear repeating all throughout "Canada" are merely ideas floating around in my head.
@m0rBidPsych0sis666 listen to the song 1000 times and you might start to comprehend it, but again their music is not for everyone, most humans will never reach a level of comprehension to be able to understand something with this level of musicianship
@catch22ification you're humor as rather dry, I must say.... and nobody here is wining except maybe you.. about MY FUCKING OPINION. Comments have a purpose and you have soiled the awesomeness of Catch 22 in your name... just thought you should know....
@m0rBidPsych0sis666 When I first read your comment... I thought you said "Good job at bashing open other peoples assholes...". And I was worried. Just thought I'd let you know...
@m0rBidPsych0sis666 That's where Buckethead comes in. He has insane metal.... With power. He has heavy metal with some emotion and power... He has songs with overwhelming emotion... He has songs with Just pure emotion.... Makes you happy, angry, sad, or just that mood you rock out to. And it's pretty much all melody Bass, Percussion, and Harmony. So yeah... Remember=Epic.
@m0rBidPsych0sis666 then you'd love meshuggah(but i'm sure you've heard of them) also chimp spanner, animals as leaders, cyclamen(or any band that travis orbin is in lol) special defects, and now if you want shit that's technical but out of your metal comfort zone then listen to jimmy agren band and also mats/morgan band....they are BOTH god-like, i didn't think that groovy sounding shit could be more technical then metal, but trust me, it blows meshuggah out of the water!
@xxxslayerxxx666 Animals as Leaders is fucking awesome, anything with Tosin Abasi is pretty much the shit! Born of Osiris and Veil of Maya.... fucking amazing. Technical, catchy, and all written in good taste. Thanks for the suggestions, man! I'm not the biggest Meshugga fan to begin with. lol
@m0rBidPsych0sis666 yessss emotional intensity thats exactly what i have been trying to think of to describe what this lacks thank you ! ( btw that was not sarcasm i really am thanking you)

The term "selurxelpirt" is another way to say "guy who likes to make fun of peoples sexual preferences when his deepest secret is he's never even touched a chick in his fucking life". The cool thing is, it's the same in every language, too. Your Virginity knows no bounds, eh?
Also, this song is a fucking pile of shit. I watched it to give the so-called "Worst Band in the World" a second shot. Sadly, they failed me, and have lost all faith in this shit band. It's like Rush+JFAC+Chromatic Scale.
Dudes, I'm a middle aged ProgHead. Haven't made the move from Stick to Warr. I have to say you guys kick ass!. I love the textures and if I close my eyes while I listen there is a powerful visual component. Just wanted to say thanks and tell you to keep it up. You are definately moving forward. Now I'm going to listen to the rest of the BTA vids. ROCK ON!

I sound like this when I tune my guitar, but you don't see me making videos of it. This is progressive for the sake of being progressive--strained.

Okay, I appreciate what you have to say. I still don't like your view an Cannibal Corpse. Other than that, eh, I guess this band is pretty damn polarizing, I love them, you hate them. We'll call it that.

these guys are talented, but there's a total lack of emotional intensity(at least for me).... and if there is emotion, it's more like bewilderment and a structured chaotic feeling... this is structured as hell, but in the end it just fades into the background like white noise. I love technical music, but I also like a bit of repetitiveness to emphasize amazing riffing...

guitardude1230 2 years ago
@m0rBidPsych0sis666 I'd like to see them build off of the bit at 5:21 - 5:50 and 6:01 and 7:39 there is more than enough there for a broader based song with some good repetition, at least I think.
angryfishmonger 2 years ago
...And if you actually bothered listening to more than one song, and actually bothered LISTENING to the riffs, you'd realize that they repeat phrasing and riffs quite a bit. Maybe you should 'observe' the music a little more before you judge it in such a one dimensional way.
XxSconeManxX 2 years ago 2
ummm... I've listened to a whole album of theirs... and I disagree with you, buddy... they're just to progressive for their own good... it's like a symphony of transitions... and the lack of emotion is still a problem for me... I mean, why listen to something that you don't enjoy listening to?(I speak for myself) Although I admit they do have their moments, it's simply not enough to keep me interested...
m0rBidPsych0sis666 2 years ago
You say they don't repeat riffs. If you listened to them you would have realized that they do. I highly doubt that all of the phrasing and riffage that I hear repeating all throughout "Canada" are merely ideas floating around in my head.
XxSconeManxX 2 years ago
Canada has this beautiful part in the middle of the song that I wish the they would expand on.... it's one of those moments I speak of...

There are riffs outside of the clean interlude which repeat and suggest one another.

whitewalls1222 1 year ago
@m0rBidPsych0sis666 listen to the song 1000 times and you might start to comprehend it, but again their music is not for everyone, most humans will never reach a level of comprehension to be able to understand something with this level of musicianship

@m0rBidPsych0sis666 That's where Buckethead comes in. He has insane metal.... With power. He has heavy metal with some emotion and power... He has songs with overwhelming emotion... He has songs with Just pure emotion.... Makes you happy, angry, sad, or just that mood you rock out to. And it's pretty much all melody Bass, Percussion, and Harmony. So yeah... Remember=Epic.
jumpinjoe88 1 year ago
@m0rBidPsych0sis666 then you'd love meshuggah(but i'm sure you've heard of them) also chimp spanner, animals as leaders, cyclamen(or any band that travis orbin is in lol) special defects, and now if you want shit that's technical but out of your metal comfort zone then listen to jimmy agren band and also mats/morgan band....they are BOTH god-like, i didn't think that groovy sounding shit could be more technical then metal, but trust me, it blows meshuggah out of the water!
xxxslayerxxx666 1 year ago
@xxxslayerxxx666 Animals as Leaders is fucking awesome, anything with Tosin Abasi is pretty much the shit! Born of Osiris and Veil of Maya.... fucking amazing. Technical, catchy, and all written in good taste. Thanks for the suggestions, man! I'm not the biggest Meshugga fan to begin with. lol

The term "selurxelpirt" is another way to say "guy who likes to make fun of peoples sexual preferences when his deepest secret is he's never even touched a chick in his fucking life". The cool thing is, it's the same in every language, too. Your Virginity knows no bounds, eh?
Also, this song is a fucking pile of shit. I watched it to give the so-called "Worst Band in the World" a second shot. Sadly, they failed me, and have lost all faith in this shit band. It's like Rush+JFAC+Chromatic Scale.

I love the textures and if I close my eyes while I listen there is a powerful visual component. Just wanted to say thanks and tell you to keep it up. You are definately moving forward. Now I'm going to listen to the rest of the BTA vids. ROCK ON!
