Cine, out of curiousity have you heard TDEP's Miss Machine album? There's alot of melody on there.
Can't say I took you for a music fan scared away by a bit of noise. You do like NIN after all.

I heard Miss Machine in its entirity. It was excruciating, but I did, lol. That album was like "St. Anger" (the title track) on speed. Too busy, too many different influences/styles, too fast, undistinguishable noise. It's not something I can get into literally or figuratively. It's like trying to hop on a moving train.
NIN music cuts deep, the lyrics are coherent, you can groove to it, you can nod your head to it, you can **** to it. It's really raw, and there's a lot to absorb yourself in. DEP to me is the absolute definition of art, because essentially, it's someone elses way of expression. Thing is, how can anyone else relate or feel the same way?
I just don't like bands who's music you have to decode, then look up the lyrics for to get their message, given the fact their vox are audibly incoherent.
You guys can like whoever, of course, I just hope my point is getting across.

NIN lyrics bar The Fragile are lame. Occasionally good on The Downward Spiral.
If you don't like TDEP then fine, I don't see any reason to call them the worst band as they are great from even a technical stance only.
You don't HAVE to look up a message, you can get your own. That's what music is about.
And yes, I fully understand and respect your point.

I realize that we're speaking in our own opinions, but I have an incredibly hard time finding any basis for that. They are noise, plain and simple. Inaudible, intolerable, inchoate noise. If I were to describe the "music" of DEP, it would be what a epileptic seizure would sound like, set to music. But, in "art", there are a lot of variables that have to be taken into account, unfortunately taste isn't always one of them.
Yes...doesn't disprove the fact (not opinion) that they are one of the most technically proficient bands there are.
What exactly would 'inaubible' music sound like?

I don't have a reason, I have an opinion with personal basis. In all my listening, they are the worst band I have ever heard. That's how I feel, and that's all anyone should need. As far as messages, or meaning behind someones music, how can anyone draw anything from theirs by simply listening to it, you know?

Technical proficiency is obsolete when there's no structure, no anatomy, no build. That's my opinion. Meshuggah is (factually) one of the most technically proficient bands, AND their music can actually be enjoyed. It's half way audibly distinct.
What do DEP fans have to say in the bands defense other than they are "technically proficient", that isn't a mere opinion. What good is one little aspect of the technicality of their music when the rest suffers. It's like John Holmes if he were a quadrapledgic. Angelina Jolie without lips.
Inaudible music is DEP, IMO. The vocals are indecipherable, the timing is off the wall and unpatternized, there's no catch, no frame, just..mess. How can anyone enjoy their music. It's like you have to sit there and that's it. No emotion.

Which begs the question: why not choose a band who in your opinion follow that criteria, and cannot play? How can a band that skilled, as much as you dislike them, be the worst?

See above.
John Holmes is for all intents and purposes a synecdochic penis anyway.
Angelina analogy doesn't work.

Inaudible means below the hearing threshold.

I caught onto the music, found more emotion (by definition) than most bands, more skill than alot of bands and vocals that can quite often be deciphered.
Not too sure what you're basing your opinion on.

DEP being "skilled" is your opinion, and inaudible in the sense that there's supposedly music somewhere in that convoluted mess, thus, if there is, I don't hear it.

Same thing as you, I just don't have an appreciation for noise. If there's any emotion that I can finger, it's being plagued with spastic indecision.
Like I said before, I'm not a fan, I've got my reasons, you all have yours, and that's alls I really have to say. Not going to change my mind based on people's trying to pass opinion as fact to make a point and reverse my decision.
