Which is why I said you should get familiar with three minutes of the album before you try to digest the entire thing. It was a wall of sound for me too for a long time, then it just clicked and sounded completely different to me from then on. I was pretty high at the time, which helped, but you just need to learn how to hear those riffs.
I honestly don't think
None So Vile is nearly as obtuse as a lot of technical death metal that tries way too hard to throw everything and the kitchen sink into one song. Cryptopsy actually like to sit on riffs for a surprising amount of time (considering how fast they're playing) and just revel in the glory of their latest sick riff. Once you can hear that they're really not at all unlistenable. It's just a bit of a learning curve.
TBH I'm really not one for imagining artists actually performing their songs (I'm more of a picturing an abstract concept of what they might look like if I were on acid) but Cryptopsy always make me picture them with **** eating grins on their faces as they slay riff after riff, for some reason with a cigarette in their lips as if they're rehearsing in a garage or something rather than actually on stage.
