I received a "masters of djent" sampler with Metal Hammer this month. The production is horrid, it's like home computer recording has become the norm. The tone and style of the riffs really isn't for me either, a lot of the bands on it should hand over any money they earn directly to Meshuggah cos there's not a lot happening except their riffs being stolen by less capable hands.
I'd like metal to become fun again. Tesseract sound as if they have potential however. I think a move away from the more obvious "djent" styling might do them good, I think I prefer their quieter more melodic moments by far in any case.
