Listening through to this again I am really getting into it actually.

Also, Big G, what is it with you and timelines?

Regarding Amy: yes! She changed my musical life. For real. She must've got married and changed her name or something. Or disappeared from the internet. Or I just suck at google. I would actually like to really thank her - it's 19 years ago since that car ride and it's etched into my memory and into how I approach music.

And timelines... I think I really like telling stories chronologically. It annoys the living shit out of my wife who is more interested in like... telling the story. I don't really care, as long as I have the chronology sorted out.

Kindly request all future riff feedback/suggestions come in this format.

Were

Djent is pretty bad, for sure. I’d have to think but I don’t think I really listen to any band that has gone down the Shugg-hole. Though yeah, they did change all metal, so there’s that.

I did quite like the new album from Intercepting Pattern. But I mostly liked the drumming and (wait for it) the synth pads. Super holdsworth style. Also it’s not really djent, it’s just pure old Meshuggah worship with jazzier drumming and more holdsworth and outer space.

I think there is good shugg-core out there. You gotta dig around a little.

I tend to avoid everything djent because every time it just sounds either overcomplicated parts or two-notes riffs on the lowest notes possible while the drummer goes "chah chah chah chah" in 4/4 on a China or a Splash adding some snare here and there.
I know it's over simplicistic but that's the feeling I get.

Anyway I've been spinning Nothing on my way to/from the office since yesterday morning and I'm totally ok with that.

Excellent.

There be no proof in this pudding.

apt description

this album is making my morning, actually

tbh, i'd like something a little more midway between this and DEI

admiral angry did the post-shuggah thing pretty well. though it is not very mathy so maybe im just lying cause they tuned low
