Right... so I've never had a problem like this before. I learned members of the Maelstrom gang perceive the "music" from their fave band Tinnitus differently than the average listener. Those crazy uber-chromed motherfuckers describe these "tunes" with terms like "complexity," "range," and "depth of sound."... ahem... Those aren't QUITE the words I would use. Music can contain noise but, in this case, the noise does not contain music. I dunno... that's the best I can describe it.
Now I've got two leading theories on this:
Theory #1: Since Tinnitus only plays at the Totentanz, the acoustics could be the cause.
Problem: Maelstrom's a group of hyperviolent psychoscumbags. I'm not gonna rust my good rep by jammin out at one of their live shows. How can I confirm my theory if I don't go check it out firsthand?
Theory #2: Hallucintory agents. Maybe Tinnitus has its own homebrew chemical cocktail designed to pair with their music for some whole... "experience."
To be honest, I don't think I want to find out. Because if #2 is true then I'll be risking a drug-induced nervous sys meltdown for the sake of music science journalism. That really worth it, chooms?
Jesus guys, music doesn't need to be this complicated...
