Ok so is it 13/8 or not???

Yes I must agree Discipline is one of my all-time fave albums too. A truly revolutionary record for 1981, no question.

The disc is riddled in odd time, no time, and geniusly orchestrated multiple times layering on top of each other. If you know little, nay, nothing about music and music theory then I suppose the album "sounds really cool", but doesn't stir you in the same way an interested musician might get stirred.

In bands I have been in, particularly my last band, odd times were smiled upon greatly. Our inside "joke" if you would, was "Play it in 7!!". As in, play it in 7/8. We would occasionally incorporate a cover tune into our setlist, and sometimes play it 7/8 or 9/8 or something even though the song, like most rock songs, was in straight time (4/4).

I could yammer on and on about the philosophies of playing in odd time and why it can be so fun to do, but I am here to beg and plead for help understanding "Frame By Frame"...so I'll be quiet now and see if a musician pops up with some insight.

Thanks...!
