I just disagree. I don't care if a band is playing a Phrygian scale, a Locrian Major scale, or a Dorian scale. Nor do I care if they are playing in 4/4, 12/8, etc. I just care what it sounds like. If record reviewers wrote shit like, "The Locrian Major lead shifted from 3/4 into 12/8 at about 3:23 into track #4..." no one would know or care what the fuck they were talking about, unless they were an accomplished musician. If it sounds interesting or sounds like a totally off the wall time signature, I can pick that out. Listen to Confessor and tell me that you can pick out all of the time signatures they're playing in. It can't be done. That shit is just way too fucked up to identify...
