The Song that Never Resolves. lol
Djent
Meshuggah is like that old guy in the gym that sits in the sauna for hours.
Just sweaty and evil.
Sweaty AND evil
My dad is a huge Meshugga fan, and he’s the one who got me into them! And he could not have said it in any better way on WHY he listens to them. He said to me, and I quote; “Sometimes whenever I listen to music, I want a challenge! I wanna feel like my head is being slammed against a door frame as I try to comprehend the music”
I feel the older Meshuggah gets, the more brutal and intense their music is. 🔥
Tbh didn't hear anything from yet that surpassed Demiurge, that song smhw.....
I assume you haven't heard future breed machine then
This song… is basically the opposite of intense: zero dynamics, zero range, the drummer plays one of two grooves the whole song 💤 💤 its basically grandpa chug
@@SH-kz4fl Haha, I don't know if you are serious or what. They dragged around 8 string guitars for too long and they are tired of it. So they play something they feel relaxed with. It's heavy for sure and you are probably new to 8 string guitars.
@@SH-kz4fl They are old as your mom and made The Violent Sleep of Reason which is out of this world. They just sitting back on this song. But Abysmal Eye is no joke.
I don't care what anyone says, this song grows on me each time I listen to it. It's simple, but its crushing and heavy and the transitions are perfect
I don’t understand why people are saying this song is mediocre. I think it’s awesome. The breakdown in the middle with the open chords is amazing. Great song Meshuggah!
because its massively repetitive perhaps?
Yes!!! The CHORDS!!!! My favorite track, had this on repeat for at least 13 times at one point
@@idrinkmilk282 have you ever listened to meshuggah? lmao
If Armageddon happens while Meshuggah is playing, I'll be perfectly okay with it.
Nice 😂
This is actually my favorite song by them right now. That change in the middle, then the way it absolutely just stops. It's slaps HARD
You trippin
These songs sound like parts of one bigger song. They don't have their own flow or like intro, build, climax, finale kind of structure you expect from a stand alone song. I think we have another Catch 33 on our hands. This song feels like an interlude for a bigger thing.
hhhhnnnngggghhh that would be insane!
That would be awesome. Catch 33 still holds up!
"....one syllable, one, Vowell "
They've been writing the same shit-ass tune for 20 years.
@@vorpalblades I see you everywhere hating on this band. You must be so bored about life in general. It is all about opinions dude...
@@Kenjames10 the shit shows up in my feed everyday, I comment on it.
I hate that they went to shit, they used to write great tunes.
Opinions...
This song is like an abridged and modernized "I". A shorter song, but it's got the same kinda vibe. Hanging onto motifs for uncomfortably long, but very defined sections. Feels like a throwback.
My guess for why some people think the track is a bit average for Meshuggah is that like anyone in the music space these days they dropped this to add interest to the album, rather than it being a single to get people hyped. I appreciate that as it tempers the expectations as you can only influence music so much and trying to always reinvent the wheel becomes a chore, when I'd wage a guess they just wanted to bang out a fun song to play. The track to me is still enjoyable, but I'd say it's more of a utilitarian track rather than a wow factor single like Abysmal Eye was meant for. Just my thoughts.
Well said! The fact that it’s not exceptional for Meshuggah doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly interesting for the fact that’s it’s Meshuggah! Abysmal Eye was a wow, indeed. Meshuggah!!!
Unfortunately most bands peak after there first few albums then it all becomes a monotonous mess afterwards. That's why I listen to bands early stuff and explore new bands to get my kicks.
Nah this goes hard af definitely my fave so far
@@TheGlobuleReturns Oh it goes hard
Nah. That tom boom at 0:59 made me fall in love with this song, and the part that starts at 2:45 immediately make me think of Chaosphere. Just hearing new songs with that OG tone and with super heavy bass makes me ssssooo heppyyyy
Thanks for keeping it real man. I agree the flare was definitely needed. Loved that ambient shit
this is a rocking track... always evolving, even if subtlety.. almost one of my favorite meshuggah tracks ever!
A good addition to your video is to add a link for the song on spotify, so we can directly add it to our playlists
Love your reaction vids
'Metal Music Theory' broke messhugah down on his channel so mere mortals like me can understand it. Changed my appreciation of thier ingenious writing. Innovators of music! 🤘 just bang your head to the 4/4 cymbal in all thier stuff
Catch 33 is my fav album of theirs. I hope this song sits between some other tracks with a similar catch 33 vibe.. idk if this ones supposed to a concept album or not tho..
I think their concept album days are behind them. Unfortunately :(
Yeah, I think same. This track does not impress me, like Born in Dissonance and whole VSOR album. I was expecting some Obzen or Koloss vibes, that was more powerful and diverse.
But Catch 33 is a truly avant-garde project👽 i love it.
@@zvjatouslawinc.7098 Honestly all meshuggah songs need a year of two of marination before it becomes music to the years.
Dude! I love Catch 33. Yes my friend yes.
These guys are on a level that will never do wrong by my ears and eyes.
Meshuggah doing Meshuggah things. Nothing bad really and if the rest of the album is like the 2 songs we heard i will probably listen to it a lot. But yeah it feels like it could have used something more somewhere.
This track is so good, I think it’s better than The Abysmal Eye IMO. 🙌🏽🔥
100% agree
Both amazing
All equally outstanding. Let's not draw lines.
Hell no
@@yasserjamilq8 we’re all entitled to our own opinions man 🤷🏻♀️ relax
fun fact, meshuggah's Jens Kidman palyed guitar in the thrashy/prog era and sung, he is a polymether beast, singing on tops of weird riffage from that era is fucking insane. there are some videos live
I love the way you describe such complex music in such a junior school way 😆
I normally don't do this but as a long time Meshuggah fan I'm listening to the track for the first time through your reaction. Poggers!
Wtf is poggers
@@maartenn2217 zoomer twitch chat speak
GODDAMN THIS IS SO GOOD I NEED THIS ALBUM NOW
A smooth version of a reaction. Thank you for being fucking inquisitive. Punk never retreats.
This song is working a lot in the mixing of riffs by changing the feel of the song when you consider the one at a particular point, like they did in Combustion. This is the crazier version of that!
part of that intro riff reminds me of pineal gland optics a lot, mostly just bc of the weird guitar thing that they do that i dont have a word for lol
Took a while for this song to grow on me but when it did holy shit it's so groovy.
I like this more than the first one; it took me a few listens to find the "1" of the bar, but it's at the very first hit of the song
This album reminds me alot of old Opeth when they were at their best. Ofc rythms are quite alot like Meshuggah but the mood is spot on.
The Abysmal Eye had me underwhelmed, which is partly my fault, because of too high expectations, but this track is absolute great. The groove, the drumming, the sound. I WISH i know what they used for the bass sound. Its sludgy but not out of place and tight at the same time. Only wish they turned that up like 1 or 2 db.
it’s got that chaosphere bass tone
They are releasing their most easy to listen for new listeners. I trust the rest of the album will be devastating
I like this better than Abysmal Eye too!! That groove is so sick!
The thing you have to realize about Meshuggah, is that all they do is Meshuggah. Don’t expect anything other than Meshuggah.
@@adamrose6969 That’s probably why this song gives off so much early meshuggah vibes. This song makes me hyped for the album.
Great song love that big part at 2:45 more of this more spice ✌️
I love songs where I can’t even find places to headbang. My head just flails around without direction.
Meshuggah is a fucking precision machine that will tear your mind apart. This is why i love this Band🤘🤘
Hey Nik - you should totally check out Bloodywood next (Indian Folk Metal). Their new music dropped last month and it's amazing, would like to see your reaction!
I play Meshuggah on my Elden Ring Boss battles it makes battles that much cooler
Same Meshuggah from the start. Love it
Meshuggahs music is based around the bonding of humans and technology into bio synthetic programmable surveillance AI
um, no?
I think that's fear factory
@@senseicorey9979 na he’s right, old meshuggah was filled with that theme. This is like a return to form for them, which has me pumped.
KILLER!! Chaoshere vibes.
Meshuggah is my #1 favorite band, but I'm not sure what to think of this song. It has some really nice tones, it has a nice groove and flow to it, the sound quality and how the track is mixed is on point, but I felt like the song itself is missing something.
Same. Favorite band, but to me its missing a fun groove or really brutal parts. Thought abysmal eye was great tho.
i thought that in my first listen, by the fifth it's amazing
I think it was too long and repetitive
Nah song rules
@@OneSekCBeast abysmal eye was good and i love fred but the solo killed the entire middle of the song for me wayyy to long on one chord even for shuggah
Meshuggah still doing it 🔥
i never know wtf is going on with their songs but i love it
He reacts to things as if a group of middle schoolers were expecting some stand up comedian in their lunchroom
The vocals sound identical in pretty much all of their songs
that Jens dude hasn't aged a day
"This man's vocals on one track are the same style of his vocals on other tracks! What the fuck?" Its almost like ITS HIS STYLE OF VOCALS
"I don't know where to head bang."
I'm pretty sure this is most people.
I can so relate to “don’t know where to headbang”! 😅 Meshuggah is my absolute favorite band and I’m soooo freakin excited for the new album. Really like where they took their production/sound on this album. 🤘🏻🔥
Always follow Tomas' right hand. The cymbals generally.
@@richardbutkis That’s usually what I do but then I also get over excited and just caught up in the music and I loose track of where I was! 😆
@@TheDjentleman77 lol I hear ya on that. Getting lost in the music is the best part for me. So on that note, head bang wherever you want 😂🤘✌️
@@richardbutkis Will do! 😉🤘🏻😁
Listening to Meshug, "is anything changing in this song?" Time signature modulation throughout entire song and variance on the theme for 8 minutes.
Meshuggah just keeps getting better with every album 😈🤘
Feels more like an album track than a single. Musically solid but didn't grab me.
This song is flat out boring imo. It’s a borderline album track. The whole song sounds like a breakdown inside of another better song.
Exactly my thoughts but The Abysmal Eye is intense and maybe they just wanted to use something more chill for a second single.
“I don’t know where to headband!”
Me, who listened to the song multiple times over on repeat since it came out, analysing every beat, entirely unwillingly: “P a t h e t i c”
edit: this was a joke btw, who the fuck knows how to headbang to our dj0nt lords Meshuggah
To the cymbal in 4/4.
@@wilkuhxc8708 or snare😉
@@chrisis143 No! Lars please no! nooooo....
@@wilkuhxc8708 😂
I love it. It's different, but still in their style. Not all of their tracks need to be Bleed. ;) I like to mix up which album I play, and this one will add one more flavor to that mix.
Also, love that image of them with the beards. Like the ancient kings or gods. (should be a statue of them leading to one of the rivers in the Lord of the Rings) :D
the end was bad ass like las 25 seconds was very apocalyptic
These gents age like fine wine..🍷
Trying to understand meshuggah is like trying to count air molecules. IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN😂
New Malevolence please Mr Nocturnal? 😍
2:59 ah yes I can feel the new plane we reached
Hi, Nick!
You shall definetely react to Manuel Gardner Fernandes, he's on the top of the guitar game.
How to headbang with music like this? I'm so confused but it's cool!
The bit at 2:59 reminded me of Tool
Papa ‘shuggah always delivers the brOotz.
You read my mind bro.
I got a band for you to review! Queen Kona Humvees disease and killer bees. They got 4 guys doing vocals!
Yup, this is def smeshuggah
blast this in the car \m/
Not a bad song. Problem is : Theyve set such a high standard !!
But they also need to attract new listeners easier 😉
And have consistently fallen short for over 2 decades.
This shit is boring as fuck.
Exactly. This is good music for a heavy metal or djent band, but not for Meshuggah standards. I don’t think we will ever get an album like “Nothing” or “Obzen” from them, or any band again in our lifetime again. It’s disheartening and sad. One can only hope.
@@vorpalblades one decade sure, but 2 decades would include Obzen and nothing .. which are masterpieces without any reasonable doubt
@@vorpalblades lol what a shit take
i kinda shock when it ends lmao
Nik love your videos man
Anychance of reacting to Hollywood Undead "Chaos"
Didn't really like the last 2 albums, but this ones a banger
Its like going forward in reverse
Awesome Song!
Did you guys already check out Mayflower - Save Me? It's emotional and heavy a perfect mix i really love it :)
Deathtouch - gravemind is some slappage
Never really been a big fan of having to do calculus to headbang to music… but that was pretty good
Apparently messhugah means "crazy" in hebrew
such a fitting name
Mshuge is Yiddish for crazy actually but saying it's Hebrew is very close. Good job!
@@vvoof2601 oh, no, I speak hebrew
It's literally pronounced Meshugah in hebrew. Like משוגע
I am guessing it's from yiddish or they both have a similar origin
@@Nitsu_ huh, I always thought it was a different word. Been speaking Hebrew all of my life too. Have a good one buddy!
Should be changed to "boring."
Being born listening to meshuggah definitely helped me understand it way easier than if I hadn't, i just realized :/
Very similar to I am Colossus but sped up
Best band ever!!!
See: If Meshuggah tried writing an In Flames song.
I actually really appreciated the simplicity of the whole track and the structure. Tomas Haake did say in the recent interview that this album was going to have some kind of "less aggressive (which really means more straight ahead kind of like some Koloss tracks as I understood him) and less incredibly technical". I think they were going for just a good straight ahead number here and found it to succeed on that level.
Of course as Nik correctly noted, it did feel that a certain "spice" was absent; but hey, that is part of the Meshuggah deal you get with them! They are that most rare of bands that is always distinctly signature in their sound, yet they always reach to subvert our expectations and do what they haven't yet done with each of their successive works.
I remember how mind glowingly different Catch 33 and 'I' EP were to the metal community when they dropped. I think they are working from that "let's do some shit they don't think we'd do" approach at least here on this one.
It has a little feel of Nothing, or (unbelievable that I didnt catch this til now) their very FIRST album Contradictions Collapse! (Pre DEI sounded quite Metallica derivative)
As my favorite band, I felt like they weren't maybe doing what I like best of them but I really enjoyed what they were pushing for with this more straight ahead, attack mode chugging and Tomas going Tom-Tom like he wanted to do Daney Carey fills!
I think I liked this in some ways MORE than Abysmal Eye.... but I cant wait to hear Ligature Mark's most of all... that ungodly heavy crunch is my favorite, man, goddamn....
Also of note the higher dual playing and the awesome roll around 3 minutes. Didn't expect that from them!
Thanks for reading and thanks Nik for staying on it until we get IMMUTABLE! Great content as always I'm so damn pumped for this music! Its lifeblood for some of us I know
this slaps wow just when I thought djent was getting boring here comes meshuggah again
3:00 of existence
Meshugar are LeDjents
Like I don't even know how to headbang where lol
The time signatures are Soo cool I love this kind of music!
Yeah, cool track but a little uninspired at times. Still liked it and would give it a 8 out or 10.🤘🏻
Follow the high hat/crash
drag me out
their heavy!!!!!
could you react to mayflower - save me? it got uploaded on dreambound and i think it is the bands first song. Would love to see your reaction on it cause i think it is fire
the link to the original video in the description is wrong
New word for the day kids Ominant = a cross between ominous & dominant..?.yuh dig
Lit!!!
That’s what real metal (any genre) is 😤💪 Check it out, when u can’t rapid fire headbang, that’s metal with swag AND THATS what’s up! But NEVER djent🤦♂️
Would be most bands lead single
I've listened to them for years but I am still not sure if Meshuggah is a jazz band that plays metal or a metal band that plays jazz
Whichever it is, they do it poorly.
can you record your reaction about this song please ? [ LANDMVRKS - Lost In A Wave ]
it's one of my favorite song and if u don't know this song you really have to hear it !
Make a reaction video on PALEFACE: The orphan.

The main groove REALLY overstays its welcome, but I still have high hopes for the record and quite enjoyed The Abysmal Eye.
This one was a bit of a snoozer for me.
