you can easilly kill the The Millenial Hook earworm with a single dose of New Millenium Cyanide Christ :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A_tSyJBsRQ

However it is still plain old 4/4 stuff in meshuggah, despite the impression...

Thanks, man, that was good for a laugh. Definitely wiped out any memory of "canonical" chord progressions from my recent auditory memory. It's like "bulk erase" for auditory memory :-)

(I guess I'm more of a "prog/symphonic metal" guy than a screamo/"cookie monster metal" guy, though)

Ha! I never looked up "the official video" for that song before.

I think the guitar riff is the part using odd timings in that one. (since the rhythm guitars are almost percussive)
