    Tesseract is a really underrated band, One, Altered state, Polaris, actually every single song of every single album is a truly unique and beautiful ear candy for Prog and complex music lovers.

      Not to mention they’re all very talented and one of the few bands that pull off not only timing but the execution of vocals live are comparable to the album. Normally live there’s obviously different circumstances regarding performance but they’ve never disappointed. Incredibly talented.

    Tesseract are kings of restraint. They could go nuts like Meshuggah, but prefer to excel at atmosphere. I reccommend Deception and Juno.

      Anthony Kerr Absolutely nailed it. They make extremely complex music, while keeping it musical and groovy. They could go on and jerk off with a barrage of notes and fills and crazy time signature changes, but they don't. They actually aim to make good music.

    • @Kira-qc4qi
      @Kira-qc4qi 4 роки тому +15

      Yea but Meshuggah is definitely the wrong example. Meshuggah uses incredible restraint as well. They're probably the most disciplined and refined extreme metal band of all time as a matter of fact. A much better counter-example would have been Dillinger Escape Plan, Oceans ate Alaska etc. if you were looking for chaotic, or "nuts".

    • @Kira-qc4qi
      @Kira-qc4qi 4 роки тому +7

    What's really nice about seeing you react to them is that I understand that they are "fucking time up", but knowing when they do it in these reactions and seeing you react the same way to the music at the same parts just validates all the time I spent listening to them. Thanks!

    One definition of a Tesseract (mathematically) can be a cube within a cube with the same dimensions linked by their vertices but displaced along an additional dimension... which fits perfectly with their music because Luminary, Juno (and maybe Nocturne among others) is mostly 4/4 with displacements within them, courtesy of Postones
