What Have You Been Listening To?

[Grungie]

Yeah, I love reading youtube comments with people having an intellectual jerkfest with who can interpret Maynard's lyrics the bestest.

Also the fans like the blow out how technical the band is. If you've never heard the song Lateralus before (or just don't play any instruments), it sounds super technical on paper. Woah, counterpoint, polyrhythms, descending time signatures, fibonacci sequence? Holy SHIT! Unless you're a drummer, their songs aren't hard to play at all, and you can pretty much take any song in existence and talk about the music theory and make it sound more complicated than it really is.

I enjoy and appreciate the technical stuff going in the background as much as the next music nerd, but hearing people blowing stuff out of proportion isn't cool. Especially that fibonacci sequence bullshit. All they use it for is for the syllables in the verse.
