I'm not smart enough to idenitfy actual time signatures, but I listen to some pretty rad stuff, and I'm pretty sure it's complicated af.

Unity.

Is Brubeck being sampled on this track or emulated?

I don't completely understand time signatures but probably just about anything by The Dillinger Escape Plan or Helmet.

Yea!

Also most Shellac songs, and Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel.

I found this link and it some some good ones on it. Looks like a few from the list are 5/4 and 7/4. They are a few easily recognizable songs like Even Flow, Outshined and 2+2=5.

Here is what they have: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best ... signatures

Is the list accurate? I always figured Even Flow and Outshined were 4/4.

Isn't Evacuation 5/4 as well?

It's easy. Here are two very simple examples to understand


You can keep time with this song by counting
"one two three four,
one two three four,
one two three four,
one two three four".

That's because the song is in 4/4 time, the most common and natural-sounding time signature (because so many things in our world and bodies work in 4/4 time). 4/4 refers to how many beats are in each measure.



As the title indicates, this song is in 7/4. You can count along as
"one two three four five six seven
one two three four five six seven
one two three four five six seven
one two three four five six seven"

and on and on.
If you tried to count it as 4/4 like the previous song, you'd quickly find yourself out of sync with the music.

There are many time signatures that are trickier and much harder to keep track of but these are two examples I always find helpful when explaining the concept to people.

I have no idea how to tell if a song is in one of those time signatures. Therefore, I will not be posting in this thread other than to say this.

I lied. I'll also post in this thread to ask who Dave Brubeck is.

Who is Dave Brubeck?

Ah ok, according to Google, a time signature is
an indication of rhythm following a clef, generally expressed as a fraction with the denominator defining the beat as a division of a whole note and the numerator giving the number of beats in each bar. Got it now!
