10.21.19 | just listen to the first 10-40 seconds of all of these: you won't be disappointed and you'll get a passing homework grade from yours truly. feel free to highlight your own sick mathy riffage down below |

10.22.19 | yeah I only know 3 but it's so good |
BeyondCosby
10.22.19 | Commenting so I can check this stuff later. Cool idea! |
Sowing
10.22.19 | great list idea. something different. |

and here's me making it easy for all of you |
neekafat
10.22.19 | Love the idea of CrashCourse lists |
GreyShadow
10.22.19 | i'm glad you guys dig the idea!
it's not all strictly math rock so I wouldn't call this the definitive math list but you'll definitely note the similarities |
RadioSuicide
10.22.19 | 20, 10, 8, 4, 3, and 2 are all amazing, suppose I'll check a couple of the others
|
BlazinBlitzer
10.22.19 | Black Midi - "953" and Don Caballero - "Stupid Puma" are great, too, though the former is more "huge" sounding of the two. They're almost the same riff lol. |
ConcubinaryCode
10.22.19 | FCPREMIX might be the only FoT song I actually go back too. The original is pretty cool too although doesn't have as much of an impact |
dedex
10.22.19 | ^yeah that song is massive |
proton165
10.22.19 | Cleft - Trapdoor, ASIWYFA - Search:Party:Animal, Adebisi Shank - Masa. |
DungeonBoy
10.22.19 | Cool idea, but no links = no thanks bruh |
Project
10.22.19 | ah yes, knew Icarus the Owl was going to make an appearance here
great list though! may I suggest some Save Us from the Archon (Awake and Regretful, Within Walls, Lost in a Reverie are all good picks) |
Drifter
10.22.19 | Didnt wanna have to comment where tf is if I sit still but you got it lol |
9Hammer
10.22.19 | 18, 3, and 1 are riffs that I adore. Still gotta jam a handful of these though! Probably missing out. |
GreyShadow
10.22.19 | added links. i will definitely check out everything recommended! the more the better |
9Hammer
10.22.19 | I suppose one of the more memorable mathy riffs that I've heard thus far would be Melody 2 by Tera Melos (on their S/T). I think that it really encompasses their identity as a band. |
GreyShadow
10.23.19 | i gotta listen to them more. I checke Patagonian Rats a few months back and dug it. Aped is something I could have included if I listened to it more. |
HoopyFrood
10.23.19 | that american football riff is pretty but it doesnt belong on this list imo |
GreyShadow
10.23.19 | for that one it was more of "huge" as in iconic. it still melts my face off but not in the typical sense |
botb
10.23.19 | List is missing Crash of Rhinos - big sea |
DungeonBoy
10.23.19 | oh dang dude, you posted links! Da real MVP, checking them all at now |
DungeonBoy
10.23.19 | 20 is tight, don’t love the vocals, but lovin those riffs
19 is tight, dig the post-hardcore vibe of this song, interesting, but maybe a little too much juxtaposition throughout for my taste
18 is tight, it’s like the other riffs but on an acoustic guitar. Oh okay, those vocals, hmm.. maybe would’ve liked this song if it was all instrumental. Those riffs are nuts.
17 is tight, oooh a little piano accompaniment before da dajent. Oooh off key note = prog. The twinkly keyboards give it.. something.
16 is tight, hell yeah. Gave the opener a double listen. Where do all these bands find their prepubescent front-boys?
15 is tight, more piano, horrible band name though I get why they shortened it. WTF is that dudes accent, oh, UK. I don’t know why I always expect some midwestern US boy to be the singer.. this guy is the weakest link, cool riffs though
14 is tight, creative little weedledeedle here. Band seems pretty creative. Keep on keepin on
13 is tight, holy vocal layered chorus. Kinda cool to hear a chick, at first I thought, this must be the youngest boy, but it’s not, it’s a girl, age unknown.
12 is tight, found myself shaking my head side to side during some of those parts, not vertically like head banging but horizontally like “consideration in progress”
11 is tight, nice and punchy more my style, those vocals though. Dig the melodies, oooh and that jazzy little break, and then the headbobbin part. Cool song. Might be my favorite, if I can get used to those vocals maybe I could listen to this band.
Okay at this point I think I hate guitar, and dear god these bands are homogenous as f, but I’m only halfway through my ascent of riff mountain... |
CygnusX1
10.23.19 | Now this is a great list! Already love some of these artists, need to check out the rest. |
GreyShadow
10.23.19 | sounds like you're having a tight time bro lmao |
GreyShadow
10.23.19 | Crash of Rhinos are another band I need to get into. Invalids quote em in Sherwood Is Connector so I had to look up that song and it's great |
mindleviticus
10.25.19 | every place is a house by maps and atlases is another good one |
numarion
10.28.19 | cool |
Aerisavion
10.29.19 | Thom Erak is such a fucking beast, nice to see an old favourite here |
TheSupernatural
12.15.19 | I'd add Wax Simulacra by The Mars Volta |
