      i love how humble he is. i think his genius comes from his "limitations" as he is _technically_ not that complex, but instead works around odd time sigs and bar pushing by simplfying it down to a count similar to the way this is described. in an interview he once said that he is counting very simply and i guess all the extra notes are played almost subconsciously. what amazes me is the way he maintains such power and heavy strokes, there are no ghost notes, only full strokes. its all about the patterns

    This is one of the most amazing, informative and inspiring videos I’ve ever seen. From “decoding” them to all the work you did producing this video.

    I wished I knew this song and watched this video to be able to pass my Algebra classes back in my school days, my mind would have opened more and sharpened like sharpening a pencil then.......... High schools must have a small class emphasizing on Meshuggah songs as a mind booster and boggler....
    Mahn love your videos!
