Meshuggah is a good place to start in the world of "real" metal..lots of odd time signature stuff, jazzy guitar solos, heavy
yeah you're right, the drums and guitars are out of this world, but it's a little too far out when i can't understand any of it, and i have listened, over and over

i like simplicity, if it's simple yet unique and understandable, then i think it's good....cradle of filth has some pretty complex fucked up guitar riffs, but it's simple and patterned enough for me to figure out how to play numerous songs....my friend got her guitar petals back from me so i can't play much now 'til she brings them back mine's broked
