Crawl and Trust are two of my favorite songs lol.
Read storyville's thread on reverb; get live instrument samples.
One of my favorite techniques involves chopping a riff up into X different pieces (iwith all the various
individual notes, articulations, and "human playing effects" such as fret noises and mutes or whatever). I'll either put this into X different samplers and program a part using the various articulations, or have them in one slicer, and use the pitch setting to control the pitch of the notes. X is usually in the 6-8 range for me. Tuning the root key to their actual note is important as well, so that you can actually program things as one part. Reverb can mask any sudden pseudo-gating sounds. Mess around with automating the ADSR/filter settings. It might sound tedious, but it sounds so good that time flies.
If you do it well, it should sound live, as long as it's part of a bigger ensemble that masks some of the "sample-soundingness".
The rest is good reverb/delay use, and good starting samples. If you want that live-ish drum feel on trust, you'll have to have similar samples.
