Did you just try to use Dillinger Escape Plan and Thee Michelle Gun Elephant as bad examples of music?
Holy hell. I can understand the other ones being questioned. But those two are pretty much untouchable in terms of talent and quality....
I'm interested, please go on about those two.
bleh, when it comes to thee michelle elephant gun, there music is produced horrendously. All of their music clips at just about all volumes. While the wall of guitar works with bands (such as spacehog), the point of recording it is to make it sound good. So if I could enjoy a melody without my ears bleeding from all the mids they blast at you (they seem to have equalized the recording just enough to suck all the Lows and highs from the EQ) I might like them. Otherwise, they try to take the gritty rolling stones (sloppy, thin and twangy) sound way too far in terms of production quality. It doesn't cost money to turn the amp down.
As for dillinger escape plan. They're just shitty trash thrash metal. They continuously get off beat, they're singer is obnoxious sounding (reminds me of those fat kids who wore all black and wallet chains in high school) and has no talent. THeir songs are an array of random chromatic movements double picking their Drop A guitar while the singer screams at odd intervals. Hell, they're so inconsistent, you can't even find a regular interval to head bang if you were so inclined. If you want to listen to a band that has a changing time signature, then listen to Meshuggah. At least they're good and make songs that are easy enough to follow.
