I like Pelican.  It's feel-good music.

You find them boring?
I don't dislike them, but I don't find them very interesting either. From the stuff I've heard from them on youtube they are pretty repetitive. 


I only find that about Catch-33

Music in Twelve Parts is 204min long, 12 sections of lengths 16-20m each...only subtle variation in any of the sections.

I once downloaded a Robert Fripp for free from the official website, and it's basically 60 minutes without any kind of variation. Sleepy

Repetition gets a bit boring about halfway through Philip Glass's Music in Twelve Parts.

If I'm like, actively listening to music (like music and nothing else), then that's the only time I find major repetition to be boring.

A common gripe. They intentionally utilize repetition as part of their style. But not everybody likes that style.
I don't mind repetition, but only if it's used in certain ways, like the first 6 minutes of Kayo Dot's The Antique, which basically is only one riff. Maybe I haven't listened to enough Meshuggah to really get to know them, but I couldn't care all too much anyway. Tongue

I too find Meshuggah a little too repetitive at times, but it's not nearly enough to prevent me from listening to them.

Meshuggah aren't atonal.

All their music is based off of jazz and phrygian scales.

They're actually anything but repetitive, but I could understand someone saying that. Plus they're not a band I suspect a lot of people would like.

I need to go eat some lunch and do some other stuff, so I will be back later.

Yeah, but they're both praised for it... just Tool's more popular, that's all.Ouch

That's because Tool still makes very melodic music, can be accessible at times (grunge influences), and has more mainstream appeal. Meshuggah abandons any traditional sense of melody and harmony in rock music, is atonal, is thrash-based, and is intentionally heavily inaccessible.

That being said, I think Meshuggah is still more influential on metal than Tool, but I think Meshuggah's more influential than Metallica, so take that for what you will. Tongue

See ya Jordan!

Old speakers are re-attached.  I want Z-5500s now, but I don't want to spend $325+ on them...

What about Sleepytime Gorilla Museum? They write songs about math professors.

Rofl.

Problem with Tool is, for some reason, they have a lot of crossover appeal.

I think what they did with the structure on Lateralus is f**king brilliant.

If we're comparing the degree of mathematics in each band, Tool would be Geometry Metal, and Meshuggah would be Calculus Metal.
