MetalRiffa just stop..you are embarrassing the people who are fans of Meshuggah (including me)

 

[MetalRiffa]

Yeah once again, nothing like nu metal. Nobody has proved a similarity. If you have post it up. Idiots

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

merely that some of the riffs (actually, many of the riffs), combined with their arrangement and use in the songwriting process, as well as the guitar tone and other factors, resemble traits of nu-metal, aesthetically more than anything else.

learn to read.

This.

I don't care if you consider it poor logic or not, when I listened to that song I got a danceable "jumpdafuckup" vibe within seconds and that structure doesn't change throughout the song.

That seems odd to me. I'm not going to sit here and deny that the low tunings and repetitive riffs can be compared to nu-metal on some aesthetic level, but to me the whole "jumpdafuckup" thing relates purely to the straight up, predictable 4/4 timings used in nu-metal as opposed to the polyrhythms Meshuggah use.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Meshuggah's polyrhythms still add up to regular time, usually, though, don't they?

 

[King Richard]

These arguments are laughably stupid imo.

Yeah.

Sure, but the rhythms revolve, the cycle doesn't always begin on the 1, and they throw in their own off-time accents to change things up. Jumpdafuckup is predictable, that's how it got its name, you can jumpdafuckup to it and know exactly where it's going to start and finish.

I still felt like "jumpingdafuckup" when I listened to it.

Well then clearly you've got no idea what jumpingdafuckup is all about. I was jumpingdafuckup back in 96 man, and I know for sure you can't do it to polyrhythms.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Glad to know someone knows all these jumpdafuckup rules.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

This conversation is awesome.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Indeed.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Glad to know someone knows all these jumpdafuckup rules.

Damn right I do. Your argument is henceforth rendered invalid due to my authority on the subject.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

...and my participation in this argument will cease to exist going forward. I get into some pretty pointless arguments here and there but arguing about what to jumpdafuckup to is where I draw the line.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

"Nostalgia" breakdown...to jumpdafuckup or not to jumpdafuckup...? That is the question...personally I feel this is OK.

Hey you brought it up.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I just realized a few days ago how much of a jumpdafuckup riff that song has. Good song regardless.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Hey you brought it up.

Yeah, in order to describe the vibe I got from that Meshuggah song and how it reminds me of nu-metal.

I now know that polyrhythmic songwriting is exempt from the aesthetics of jumpingdafuckup. You learn something new every day.

 

[MetalRiffa]

I knew the thread was going to stir the pot, but this has turned into a little bitch fest. Some cunts just need to get some nuts about themselves, drink a few beers and listen to some good meshuggah songs like a man..
