^^ 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...

I don't regard music as having limits. My musical preferences span the whole range of sounds, from the most delicate and beautiful, through the abstract and amorphic to the heaviest sounds possible and up to plain noise. I don't think of limits when approaching music. I simply listen to it and if it clicks, I settle with that. I don't pay much attention to the breaking the limits factor when I choose the music for myself, but when recoemmending it to others I am aware of it and try to adapt to that person's "limits".
So I embrace Music, in all its forms and apparitions as long as it suits my brain and satisfies me. Be it the simplest form of it, or the most extreme display of noise/heaviness/complexity and beyond... 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. Edited by Logos - November 19 2006 at 12:41 |

I know that many people are enjoying the album - I just don't like the growling vocals in this type of music. For me growling is inherently aggressive, and combining it with calm, subdued textures of ambient sounds rarely works - it either does or just feels like they couldn't decide whether they want to be aggressive or calm. ![]() |

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. Edited by Gravity Eyelids - November 19 2006 at 13:58 |

^ 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'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. |
