It's a difficult thing to discuss because most all extreme metal bands have quality instrumentation. What differentiates "technical" death metal from the vanilla variety seems to be.... an emphasis on making it apparent that it's technical. The result being you get guitar solos coming at random, drums triggered to such an extent it sounds like a drum machine, etc....

This emphasis on technicality bores me.
