I’m not gonna bitch and whine about a band’s choice in touring partners because only gay-wads like [band B] but to be honest I really like going to shows early and getting to see 2 or 3 or 4 sets of music that I really dig, instead of 1, so it’s always a bit disappointing when a line-up features a band I don’t like.

And it’s even worse when the one band I don’t like is playing in the middle of two good bands, like with the LoG/Devildriver/Shadows Fall tour last year

^If that is what you are referencing, and there is no proof as to whether that is Devin or not. It might be, or it might not. The name “g” really doesn’t indicate much.

The band? Awful. Just another -core band trying to emulate Meshuggah’s style and failing miserably.

The Cynic song? Awesome. One of the highlights of Focus.

well, I do respect your opinion, but “From Mars to Sirus” is such an emotional album, the lyrics of Flying Whales, to give an example, makes a perfect mix with the music, that can be all but emotionless…I wonder what is your opinion about Textures

I like both of these bands.

I’m also a massive Pig Destroyer fan who likes the first two Limp Bizkit albums.

Figure THAT out.

No, Meshuggah’s chugging is very purposeful and well written. The repetition doesn’t make the riffs bland, but rather reinforces them (and the rest of the rhythm section) as the main theme and foundation of the song. They have a talent for writing songs that Gojira will never have.

which is the exact same problem with Meshugga but for some reason, people actually like them and call them “amazing”

Well, I’m a huge Pantera fan, but ‘metal music must have groove’? I was hoping he’d come up with something intelligent to back that up, hehe.

Emotionless music that just chugs on endlessly with no real point is more boring than Sunn O))). Even when Gojira has a good riff or two (“Esoteric Surgery” is my favorite example of this), they repeat themselves so much throughout their songs that the initially good ideas just seem pointless and boring.

I like IWABO, there EP was pretty immature, but i think they’re headed in the right direction. Plus they have some crazy riffs (crazy not technical). Very fun band, not to be taken too seriously. I disagree that they are generic sounding. Their vocalist has a unique sound, they have really odd crazy riffs (lots of super high notes and slides) and they touch on a lot of genres (usually very briefly) in a Mr. Bungle’s self titled CD kind of way. Plus that gurl kin sang!

it is ok or normal if you dont like Gojira, but why hate them?

Can anyone like all? I think not.

Well, if you like Kingdom, then logically, you should try Physicist. Ziltoid and Addicted are probably most similar to Physicist.

My general order for listening to Devy’s records is this, though:

Ocean Machine: Biomech
Infinity
Accelerated evolution
Addicted
Terria
Ziltoid
Physicist
Synchestra

Ki is such an anomaly that you can just listen to it any time. It’s really different from everything else, but it’s also great.

As for SYL, here is my order:

Alien
City
The New Black
SYL
Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing

If you like the first three, then go for the rest.

Zitty, i’ve never really gotten into Townsend or SYL, not because i dont like it, just because i was never exposed to it.. But i really really liked Kingdom (the song posted on here a couple weeks ago). If i could only get one or two albums what do you suggest? BTW, i do enjoy both of the afforementioned bands and i will be at the LA show, wooooooooooooooooo
