Can we talk about djent for a bit? About a year ago I remember

Out of all the djent bands I've listened to, TesseracT is the only one I genuinely enjoy. They're the only one that transcends all the mathiness and chugging and actually has interesting songwriting and a sense of emotion in their music.

That being said, I think The Contortionist has a lot of potential

Also, Meshuggah's Nothing is an undisputed classic.

TesseracT is really great. Altered state is a classic imo. I tend to enjoy progressive metal with djent elements more as well as punk/math rock with djent elements.

is meshuggah even djent?
I could have sworn djent was everything that came after them

They pioneered the sound and established the poly-rhythmic grooves and spacey ambience that the style is associated with.

That's kind of how I feel about Periphery. They've got some really slapping riffs, beautiful melodies and really strong pop songwriting. While TesseracT is really good Meshuggah and Periphery are really the only djent I go back to regularly.
