I believe we should thin...great post. Thanks a lot.<br />I believe we should think processed music in the context of processed culture and processed art, velocity, mass media, ease to grasp and digest, high impact in low time with poor nutrients, sugar rush of a time where quick and dumb sells, and as this tendency accelerates we lose more and more human dimensions on the way.<br />The violent explosion of raw energy in metal appeals to a true and necessary human pulsion. The problem is the progressive resignation to further modulate that pulsion...

One of these days I'll sit down and try to figure out WTF is up with Metal. I get that the actual sound of the music is stimulating, somehow, but it's so utterly devoid of substance, I don't understand how people can continue listening to it year after year.

As a teacher with numerous spotty herberts who worship the likes of Joey Jordison et al, I struggle on a daily basis with getting across to them that the drums are more than the speed of the double pedal. Just to get them to even notice the concept of groove within a natural performance is something I find quite depressing actually. They don't even notice that the performances are processed and burnt onto the grid in protools. If I play them some early Phil Gould or prude, they'll entertain it in the moment, but never follow it up or even consider that it has any bearing on what they do themselves.
