This has intense atmosphere, mostly because of the guitar. And again: energy.

It doesn't at all sound like pop music though. Teenage Jesus sounds like pop music with no pretensions at even sounding good but it's still of the genre on some level. There's a connection and that's why it feels more bizarre to me than Metal Machine Music. Whatever MMM qualifies as I'm not as familiar with as Teenage Jesus and that makes it feel more ****ed up to an extent. Metal Machine Music is on an alien level but the very sound of it makes me understand that I'm supposed to approach it like that. Teenage Jesus makes me feel like I'm supposed to understand it and being as flummoxed as I am by it is more engaging tbh. I still like MMM much more but it actually doesn't feel as hostile.

Teenage Jesus is harsher imo.

Definitely. I feel like I kinda know how to approach MMM but I don't with Teenage Jesus.

Teenage Jesus doesn't seem that intense to me but maybe I'm just desensitized. Good stuff though.

Idk man, seems like they'd have mad presence in a live setting.

If we're talking just pure "intensity" in a live setting type thing, I was pretty blown away by Yamantaka Eye when he did a tour over here about ten years ago. Acid Mothers Temple are massive (saw them on two separate occasions)...and I think another one where expectations were exceeded was when I saw Devin Townsend at Royal Albert Hall in 2015. But that's one of those venues that brings out the best of pretty much any type of band, so *shrug*.

AMT made me pass out from the intensity. They dragged me out and when I came to, they were still playing. I tried to go back in and passed out before I get to the door.

Well, for your sake I hope you grabbed your debit card from the AMT machine before you passed out.
