@caida815 nonsensical = word
-
@caida815 come on man, it's just not good to listen to. i completely understand what they're doing, but there are better ways to push the boundaries than this kind of thing.

@caida815 nonsensical is a word.
-
@caida815 nonsensical actually is a word but everything else you say is correct
-
The pattern is simple enough that no counting is required; the rhythm isn't really tricky. The complexity in this song issues not merely from off-kilter timing but from the layering of the different elements that are superficially disparate but congeal into a unified musical structure. Don't embarrass yourself by criticizing these seasoned musicians (one of whom is the bona-fide genius of Don Caballero) on the same grounds one would criticize The Dillinger Escape Plan.

keeping up with the album version (on drums) is hard enough but this is at least 1.5 times faster. i need to see this band live.
-
Agreed and as I've posted in other places, I think he's the best drummer in the world. Nobody's even close. He's just fu#!ing brilliant here. Great song, great performance
-
This drummer and his previous band Helmet are so underrated. This guy has influenced numerous drummers in the 90s and still does. For me, he is an amazing drummer.

amazing band
airbagabe, i dont think you understand what battles are all about. it may seem nonsensical (not a word) and assorted at first, but take another listen and you find the underlying mathematics of these songs quite beautiful and just plain progressive in regards to the formulas of most other music today, the end.
