Superego, ego, and id?

As I post this, the article's description currently include the phrase "Musically, it could be compared to a Freudian Trio in that the drums focus on the beat (Superego), the guitar focuses on the melody (Id) and the bass reconciles the two (Ego),"

I thought the beat (primal, repetitive) was the id and the melody (complex, filled with ideas) was the superego...?

Sometimes a guitar is just a guitar. This trope has nothing to do with Freudian Trio.

This is about building a harmonic structure. Rhythm, then melody, then harmony.
