Monocles said:Death metal DEFINITELY sounds like random noise when you are first listening to it. I think this about a lot of death metal bands when I first start listening to them, until I 'understand' their style. It also all sounds the same at first. I wish I had better words to explain it. Once you listen to it enough you can pick out the patterns, discern the differences, etc. Its sort of like a puzzle that your subconscious works out. Sometimes it takes a VERY long time for it to work it out. I didn't 'understand' most of Cryptopsy's earlier albums until many repeated listenings (over the course of a couple of years).
I kind of agree with this. Like lots of music, things like that are an acquired taste. I used to think a lot of that stuff was 'just noise' but through listening to similar albeit less extreme bands I got more accustomed to the kind of style they were using and over time some of the harder stuff has grown on me.
