    Yes, I'm doing it. This is a complex and dense time signature track.
    0:00 to 2:17 - 6/4 (lot of 3/4, but mostly 6/4)
    2:17 to 2:52 - 9/4( easier to count as 18/8)
    2:52 to 3:59 - 6/4 (lot of 3/4, but mostly 6/4)
    3:59 to 4:31 - 9/4
    4:31 to 4:48 - 8/4 (if you say it's 4/4, would fuck it up)
    4:48 to 4:59 - 10/8 + 9/8 alternating which results into a 19/8
    4:59 - a 6/4 bar
    5:01 - a 5/4 bar
    So 4:59 to 5:03 makes a 11/8.
    5:03 to 5:46 - 6/4 (lot of 3/4, but mostly 6/4)
    5:52 to 6:42 - no time signature at all I guess
    6:42 to 7:24 - 4/4 (it's actually not 4/4 but it almost is, music isn't always precise, and neither my time signature countings are lol)
    7:24 to 7:47: no time signature at all i guess x2
    7:47 to 8:15- 9/4 (starting to count this here in this part is hard to assimilate that it is 9/4, cause the first moment of the counting is empty if you'd like to count it exactly as the 2 choruses before this one. But if you'd rather count it as the way it is, you can call it an 8/4 that comes before the 9/4 bars.)
    8:15 to 9:38 - 17/8 (4+4+4+5)
    9:38 to 9:42 - a 5/8 bar and a 7/8 bar
    9:42 to 9:47 - 4/4
    9:47 to 9:53 - two 9/8 bars (this one is pretty cool)
    9:53 to 10:18 - 17/8 (4+4+4+5)
    10:18 to 10:22 - a 5/8 bar and a 7/8 bar
    10:22 to 10:27 - 4/4
    10:27 to 10:38 - 9/8
    10:39 to 10:41 - a 7/8 bar
    10:41 to 11:02 - 4/4
    11:02 to 11:19 - 2 bars of 13/8 (7+6) and 4 bars of 14/8 (7+7)
    11:19 to 11:22 - a 9/4 bar
    11:22 to 11:39 - 2 bars of 13/8 (7+6) and 4 bars of 14/8 (7+7)
    11:39 to 11:45 - no time signature at all i guess x3 (at least purposefully)
    11:45 to 14:12 - 4/4 (3+5)
    14:12 to 14:37 - 17/8 (4+4+4+5)
    14:37 to 14:41 - a 5/8 bar and a 7/8 bar
    14:41 to 14:46 - 4/4
    14:46 to 14:54 - you can count it as many ways, but I count it as 5/4+5/4+6/4+3/4+3/4
    14:54 to 14:58 - 5/4
    14:58 to end - 6/4 (lot of 3/4, but mostly 6/4)
    the counting pace changes so many times in this song, it gets very confusing. but the biggest issue is to give the chorus a time signature, it is just an uncommon piece and I can't explain why

    I remember thinking the beginning of this song making me feel like I was suddenly sucked into a bizarre and extra-dimensional world of mosaic alien beings and bright, unimaginable colors and shapes. Like jumping into a kaleidoscopic realm where creatures (like those from the anime "Neon Genesis Evangelion") warped out of. I was pretty sober, but the music was pushing so hard at being this foreign mind-altering experience.

      @11cylynt11 Рік тому +1

      This is how I feel while listening...
      The beginning sounds like being violently Televated toward a folding wormhole of Roulette Dares into a haunted dimension. Tremulant and taken off guard, you're still trying to comprehend these Landscape Tantrums. Why are these vibrations engulfing you so ominous and full of Bedlam. Then the calm verse riff emerges with Luciforms. That's you exiting the vortex to find yourself is an obscure new world full of surrealism and Tarantism. The lyrics cascade and conjure imagery that would only make sense to Salvador Dalí. The chorus is an Inertiatic explosion of ESP sonic booms. This delicate dance between eruptive and Soothsayer instrumentation gives complex dynamics throughout. Which then evolves, transposes, and mutates for the benefit of existence. Time is mandatory to witness such sonomorphs.
      When the intermission manifests, you have already been overwhelmed for over 6 earth minutes. So a calm flow is welcomed as is the natural order of emotions. You think it's over. Though, your sedated nerves are Faminepulsed back to high pressure. The heavy chorus returns to melt any face within earshot, to reveal no one behind the mask. This music so potent it distorts even the vocals. "In the end they just gagged me to make him come out."
      The horns section near the end is mathematical tranquility. The guitar solo therein is a lesson in virtuosity. One can Atone Vicariously as the whole world dies to this music. Yet the outro is the same as the intro. So back through the vortex to whence I came With Twilight As My Guide. Back to the filth I once knew. Back to the earthly realm. For human ears were never meant to witness such muscial mastery.

    When this was out. I was totally listing to some really weird stuff because I thought Rock didn’t have anything left to offer. One guy I knew told me I should check out this Band The Mars Volta. I heard like one song and was like, ah they’re not bad. Then went back to the stuff I was listening to. A lot of Gamelan, Punjabi, Native American round dance chanting. Bach Harpsichord music played in reverse. Then like from out of the blue like three weeks ago I remembered The Mars Volta and UA-camd it. They really are good. I bought everything I could get. On CD because I have kids who don’t understand $150.00 Vinyl records.
    Good stuff glad I found them again.

      check out omar's solo stuff too if you haven't already. Solar Gambling, Se Dice Bisonte No Bufalo, Cryptomnesia, Zen Thrills and Un Escorpion Perfumado are probably good, general starting points. You'll probably enjoy the "Amsterdam albums" if you like Amputechture... and maybe Infinity Drips for the 'eastern' influence, although the vocals on that album are difficult to get past.

    Tell me it's over
    Rusbel awaits
    I've been to the surface
    And nothing is there
    Eyelids sank muffled
    In the nerve aura sound
    But when she awakes
    Will she still be with us
    My heart is darkclots
    Leap year is late
    How did you get here
    Ask all but the bait
    From a christ that went hissing
    Constricting his cells
    We summon by candle by book and by bell
    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence
    Stuffed the voice inside of God
    Mirrors to the animals
    The sermon goes mourning
    Pricking it's hail
    Slothful the child
    That preys on the seed
    Shall behead the drough
    Wound under sleeves
    I hope you have room
    In a thicket of vines
    Give me a moment
    To clean what you've stole
    The streets will hang high
    Stretch ribs and let taste
    We'll cover the smell with silver nitrate
    Mending the cuts of your prosthetic faith
    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence
    Stuffed the voice inside of God
    Mirrors to the animals
    Then so long
    Dear mnemonic
    Assume the form
    You've given me and I'll spill
    Now hold on
    Just hold my hand
    Say that they made you
    But you brought your own leash
    Tell me no more no
    Say I'm the last one
    Outside
    By the drift
    You read my will
    Of thread and itch
    Failure to comply
    As failure to decease
    And still you won't know everything
    I've built the fall
    Sulking drained the fall of my pale will
    Swarming by your steps
    Licking the ankles of blasphemer guilts
    It only meant to drape a plastic
    Over the stuck pig scalp of head
    To cover the sock where the flatline had spread
    The kiosk in my temporal lobe
    Is shaped like rosalyn carter
    She says my map is home again
    But torn face down
    I have only but a million blemishes
    To tell you all about
    In the end they just gagged me
    To make him come out
    Gas me the hind
    Of your five legged snare
    Tooth picks the eye
    But no things there
    Down drags your waltz
    Cross the alter top
    From a sleep that
    Depravation knew
    Trespass your form
    I'm void of dusk
    I'd ask to look
    But the mask stays on
    You'll levitate
    Teutonic print
    Cruelty is the wrath
    Of my instrument
    In the end they just gagged me
    To make him come out
    You locked the cuffs
    Arsenic erupts
    Will you drink the shadow
    Of my red hair
    You and your false
    Witness to God
    You've one in the chamber
    But your finger got stuck
    Let slip the sound
    Of a cry for help
    But all was lost
    On the night you walked
    Palms speak through eyes
    Serve your memory lost
    I contaminate with insignias
    In the end they just gagged me
    To make him come out
    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence
    Stuffed the voice inside of God
    Mirrors to the animals
    Wait till it get my hands on you
    I won't forget a face that left me
    Just you wait
    Till I get my hands on you
    I can't
    You won't remember
    Unwrap my corpse
    And let it thaw
    In the eye of the needle
    I can't get out
    They'll check my wrist
    I'll faint a pulse
    I'm not the human
    You thought I was
    If you pet the night
    Sixth pentacle dice
    If you roll the seven
    St. michael dies
    They'll be no ransom
    Don't shut my mouth
    I scald the answer
    You're afraid of
