list, i concur, my friends and i all dig dillinger esc plan, (sorry for bringing it up :) but would prefer or be interested in using a non-screamer in the genre of complex metal/hardcore... if you can stand the lesser stuff, (which isn't too bad IMHO...mudvayne has some emotion, some complexities etc. good stuff. though i must say that i haven't listened to meshuggah yet (although now im planning on it). on the other side of complexity... i recently heard (not much yet) of the dischord band 'faraquet.' more math rock, but doesnt seem to pretentiously shun intellectualism they way one might characterized some of the ideas of the non-prog "mathers." amor fati, square thomas --- mcazurin <mikah@ceruleansoftware.com> wrote:

I was driving Ken Vandermak when he was in my hometown, to play with DKV. We were waiting for Hamid Drake to go out from the hotel, I was playing System of a Down in the car. It's good music when you like speeding. Ken told me "if you like this, you have to try Meshuggah, you will love it". I did. I don't "love" it, but I must admit, it's advanced and complex. The only "boring" thing is pretty flat level of "emotion", it's like most metal groups - headbanging all the time. In this particular aspect, it's opposite to jazz.
The 'flat level of emotion' is why I don't like a most complex metal. Back when I was a metal musician I considered Atheist, Cynic, and to a lesser extent, Death, the pinnacles of that particular genre. Nothing I've heard so far comes close, as far as being _both_ advanced and emotionally involving. I'm open to suggestions, however. Anyone?
TIA,
