As for the above, no. No I can't. If you want to hear "tightly written and precisely played compositions" listen to "Big Generator" by Yes. Now there's a band at the top of their game, operating almost as one mind, tight as the proverbial duck's and with not a note dropped nor missed. Almost telepathic.

I fully understand that you rate and love this music, but I can't make it be anything to me other than noise, and loud, discordant, disorganised noise at that. Sorry. You'll never win me over to grindcore.
I'm not trying to win you over, just asking you to recognize that it has structure and is being played by people who know their way around their instruments. I don't like Yes at all but I can at least acknowledge those things about them.

I thought we already talked about this: Ufomammut aren't grindcore, they're space rock/prog influenced doom. And, yeah, skipping 27 minutes of a 67 minute album is essentially half listening to it.

It's ok though, I still love you.
