Today I was listening to MESHUGGAH's Chaosphere again, and during 'Elastic' ("The song with the minutes of just noise") I thought, "This is the heaviest music I could possibly like."

So, I'm curious, where is your limit? I know from experience that it's different from person to person - I know many who think Opeth is 'just noise with screaming.'

I'd say somewhere around Rush or heavy KC.

The heaviest I can like is probably anything played on a contrabass saxophone. That's ridiculously heavy. I'm sure Meshuggah could use one...

The heaviest I've heard is Meshugga, but I would have prefered a more cohesive atempt at melody.Wink

If I have a limit, I'm yet to find it but theres needs to be more to the music than that idf im to be inclined to search for heavier music.

Meshuggah is perhaps the heaviest I've heard, but I wouldn't mind 2-3 times heavier music (as long it's good, of course)

Meshuggah is as heavy as I go, and about as heavy as it gets

How about this: http://www.hevydevy.com/audio/mp3/syl_detoxetox.mp3

No seriously, I have no limits.Big smile But of course that doesn't mean that I like all kinds of heavy stuff. For example I'm a bit "picky" when it comes to growling ... I'll only accept it if I think it "fits", regardless of how heavy then song happens to be.

I'm not sure, because I have neither heard much Meshuggah nor much contrabass saxophone. However, I'm sure they could use it for some nice quirky (and seriously heavy) effects.

Why wouldn't it "fit"?

^ For example I don't like the growling vocals on most Post Metal albums - like for example Isis, Cult of Luna and in particular the new Agalloch. How cool this album could have been without the growling ... it totally destroys the songs (IMO). A metal band should realize that when they change their style to more ambient, textural tracks then someone "barking" at you totally ruins things. I much prefer bands like Opeth who manage to adapt the vocal style to the mood/atmosphere of the music.

I have tried to like Meshugga, after hearng how Steve Wilson loved them, but they are just way to heavy for me.
 
I guess Opeth or Tool, but I have to be in the right mood for it.

I haven't yet listened to an album I thought was too heavy. As long as it's done well, then I'd listen to albums of any heaviness.
