Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Rock with unusual time signatures

I'm into music that uses time signatures other than the standard 4/4. Can anyone think of rock music that uses those? An example would be Ozzy's Diary of a Madman, which switches from 3/4 to 4/4 and back in the course of the song. Tool does this as well.

Checkout the album Calculating Infinity by the band The Dillinger Escape Plan if you want some complex time signatures.

The Mars Volta is another awesome band as well. The Dillinger Escape Plan is not "rock" music btw more metalcore/hardcore/mathcore style. Somebody that is not used to that type of style of music will be in for quite a shock .

There's also Faraquet, they aren't actively making music anymore, but their stuff is interesting.

What is mathcore? Or metalcore for that matter? Hmm. Sounds like a lot of growl-metal--not something I'm fond of. Well, I'll check 'em out anyway.

Start with the song 43% burnt. It probably won't be your cup of tea but imo they are soooo talented.

Have you ever listend to The Mars Volta? They might be more your style and defintely worth a listen.

Metalcore/hardcore/mathcore are sub genres of metal. My favorite ones . Time signtures can be really odd and can change frequently within a song. That is only one aspect though.

What about marinecore?

Music for jarheads.

Ken, if you're into music with meters other than 4/4, or even better, that alternates the time signature, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring should be a real favorite of yours since in some sections the score shows a change of meter(and odd ones)for practically every measure.

Be that as it may, another rock example would be Radiohead's 2+2=5 , where after demonstrating an inability to navigate 7/8, they prove to be equally inept at 4/4, in some appallingly bad music.

Sorry John, Stravinsky drives me up the wall. Just a little too strange...
