@chaclapa Very awesome metal at that.

Since 1987 this is how the swedish have defibrillated patients who fall into cardiac arrest. Statistically, it has been proven that since the rise of meshuggah, abnormalities in heart arrhythmia worldwide have risen dramatically.

@SunFlightx "Cut off the end", implying they deliberately change their riffs to make them sound odd. This is false. Also, you're adhering to the standard formula, imposing an arbitrary structure that has no place in the specific kind of music.

[SunFlightx]

@MyEggIsBoiled well it is mathmatical to an extent. but as far as signatures are concerned most of their songs are all 4/4, most of the riffs go for 4 measures with 4 beats each, it's just that the riffs don't end on each beat which creates that movement around the beat and gives it that groove. and then they just cut off the end of the riff so it fits correctly in 4 measures.

[MyEggIsBoiled]

@SunFlightx Well I just don't see how one can say it isn't mathematical when there are varying time signatures overlapping at all times, you know? Maybe I misread your tone.

[SunFlightx]

@MyEggIsBoiled dude..what? i never said anything about progressive or not..and i never said anything about it being a 'lesser' form of music..meshuggah is probably my favorite band.

[MyEggIsBoiled]

@SunFlightx It's progressive in the sense that it's a polyrhythm. Stop acting like just because you hear the "4/4" that it's automatically a lesser form of progressive music.

@strav12 What are you responding to?

[strav12]

@dujl Everyone playing to very specific beat metrics which are 'syncopated' (ie intervals between chords/notes shortened) and overlaid to create a statistical density of sound - there is no improvization as in jazz or blues and everyone sticks tightly/mathematically to the beat. With Meshuggah, only Thordendal's solos are free of the 'math' element, arguably also Jens' vocals - but the others are mathematically repeating themselves. But is there any music without math? Discuss!

[SunFlightx]

@dujl eh if people know what bands you're referring to then its a valid description in my book.
