Members NeloAngelo Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 {censored}ing bleed, what's that? 4/4 and gallop picked throughout. and this {censored}ing beast of a song, probably the best song of this {censored}ing millenium, the drums are in 4/4. but the guitars play a different time signature. so complex, it must be math, right? no, it's just polymetric.

Members InnerVision Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 I guess I'm getting too old. I can't ever make it through a whole song from this band. Not that it's {censored} or anything...just boring to me. They are ridiculously tight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Deconstruction Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 Meshuggah are great at what they do, but i think a band needs some kinda melodic qualities to be considered "best". Meshuggah have next to no melody in their music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members exafro Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 I'm onboard with what Overdriven said, kinda. I can listen to DEI all day long even Chaosphere. The last 4 though, it's tough to make it all the way through. I don't know if it's the produtction, or the lack of melody or the constant grooving, but they are better to me when they're broken up by other bands.

Thats really interesting, because I am almost the exact opposite I can listen to their more recent groovier material all day long, but I tend to need more breaks with the older stuff. Except for Future Breed Machine, I can listen to that {censored} on repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members exafro Posted May 13, 2012 Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 I suppose it's cause the older stuff is what really got me into them. When I first heard Nothing it was a complete shock and not at all what I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chevybusa Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 Well, I know I'm gonna sound like a "poser" (Goddamn haven't heard that word in I don't know how long!!! LOL) but I really really loved DEI and Chaosphere, however, I've gotta say, I just can't get into anything they've done after that...I was so pumped to get Nothing, and when it came out and I bought it I remember listening to it and being so disappointed...again, I know, I'm gonna sound like an asshole or "poser" for saying this, but to me it was like after Choasphere they became a Meshuggah wanna-be band, trying to be what DEI and Chaosphere were but the only thing they kept the same were the odd time signatures...instead of the energy and intensity on DEI and Chaosphere, they started playing everything with a half-time feel and even though the time signatures were just as complex the riffs were much simpler and tuned all the way down to the {censored}ing Marianas Trench LOL (but seriously, I think the Nothing album was down to {censored}ing F#!!!!! I mean tuning down a guitar to a whole step above the open E on a bass, to the point where they kicked out the bass player (that's what I remember reading in an interview with them anyways)...I don't know, I just don't get it, I mean it's great for what it is and all, and at some level I can appreciate it, but it just doesn't really even seem like the same band that did DEI and Chaosphere. Again, that's just my opinion, but I just can't help but feel that, especially considering how many thousands of hours I spent listening to DEI and Chaosphere back in the day.

Members Johnny Two Tone Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 Two things I'm observing here: 1)It's pretty weird for everyone to say how awesome they are but be fully accepting to the idea that they aren't the "best". Like, absolutely no one is passionate enough about them to go full on "Tool fan" mode (you all know what that means). 2)Meshuggah is kinda' the perfect proof that ""new" vs "old" [insert band here] is better" largely depends on when you got into them. I can't understand people who think that Tool's first album is their best, but I didn't get into them until Lateralus. I think that In Flames still makes great music, but I didn't get into them until well, WELL after Clayman. And, I think that post-Catch 33 Meshuggah is way better than pre-Catch 33... ...New Metallica sucks no matter what, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
