Ah, Suicidal Tendencies! I used to love them.



As far as Meshuggah goes, I've heard a bit but not enough to judge them on. I will state this fact: they are a band.

Well, have you heard the new album from them? i'm new to Meshuggah music too and this is the first album that i heard from them and i'm listening to it right now, the music is VERY well constructed, it's concise and has unsual elements in it, the only thing that i can't understand is why the vocals are so strange, with a stronger gutural vocal it would sound better, but the way is it now it's pretty good!!, i can't say anything about System of A Down really....

I disagree
as long as there aren't metalcore-like vocals, djent could be quite good.
also some instrumental djent is great.

Do you think System of a Down is better than Meshuggah? I think they are much better. 

I'd take System of a Down over any djent. I'm not sure I'd lump SOAD in with nu-metal tbh cos at their best they were much more inventive than that label would suggest.

I sometimes get the feeling musicians like djent as they appreciate the technical aspects. I'm just a chump who likes music so maybe it's lost on me. Djent feels like bunches of guys who are extremely technically proficient but have little songwriting ability, it bores me to tears.

Just started checking them out, vocals are tough but musically great.

I love Meshuggah, both their thrash and groove stuff. Their new album is killer.

Do you also think that Meshuggah's music is dreadful? I can't get how this band get any kind of critical acclaim and praise esp. on the Progarchives forum. I know that band is technically good and complex, but the music they made with that good instrumental techniques is totally unlistenable to me. I don't find the slightest quality in their music. 
What are your opinions and do you agree with me?
