^^ I understand what you're saying and I know people have different preferences and ideas on how to listen to music. I just pointed out that is good to have an open mind to music and not try to limit oneself to the things one knows (playing it safe) just because this band has growling vocals or this other band is in a genre that I don't like ect. ect.

^^^ 
To us this is how it “works”. But for others it is not the same. And eventually, to each his own way
And what I like this forum (and this thread) is the chance to read and learn of other people’s way to listen to music.
Mine (and yours) is no better way or the right way to listen. It's the way that each brain works that allows for each person's musical preferences (and all other aspects of personality).  
So my path, is the right one for me, but not for others and vice versa. There is no right way. There is YOUR way.
In Music that is...

And that's how is supose to be.Clap

Those are all sounds after all, it's what you do with them and how you create them that makes the difference.

Meshuggah's Chaosphere is the heaviest album I own, and I really like it. Heavier than that there's just gringcore/noisecore crap that I can't stand. So my limt is pretty high.

You haven't heard Inferi's "Shores of Sorrow". Although that's a bit of a different case.

I much prefer bands like Opeth who manage to adapt the vocal style to the mood/atmosphere of the music.





ohhhh but the new Agalloch album is soooooo good! Cry

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.

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.

Why wouldn't it "fit"?

exactly where would that fit in the music?


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.
