- The thoughtful guitarist crowns 'Chaosphere' because of how the Swedes' pummeling polyrhythms and dynamically-heavy approach challenged his approach to playing.

Love to see people giving Concatenation its due. I never heard anything like it when I first heard it, and I still haven’t since. Insanely ahead of it’s time and one of the first indicators that Meshuggah was a very different, very special band.
Chaosphere is an absolute classic. Great choice. Concatenation doesn’t get the praise it deserves.
Damn straight mate. Remember the day I bought it at a record store no longer here in Brisbane Australia, took it home and was sent into another dimension. This from a Suffocation, Pantera, Cannibal Corpse, LOG fan. Didn't fully understand what I was hearing at the time but it's taken a few years to fully appreciate Meshuggah, second to none.
@@benmoon6104 i remember when i first heard this song. at a friends record shop, instantly hooked. say no more this record is mine, i said.
cheers to you down under meshuggah fan :)
Can you imagine being in the audience from the 90’s and hearing it for the first time. It still holds up well today.

All members basically ditched the reins and unleashed their mechanical beasts on this record. Especially Tomas
Absolutely. Game changing album. Nobody was ready for that at the time. Even us OG Meshuggah fans from before Chaosphere did not see that coming. So insane. Though they had already started redefining the cutting edge of metal... they decided to go ahead and reforrge the entire blade with Chaosphere. Unreal. Literally making their mark on the evolution of music theory itself and pushing sonic innovation into new frontiers. They are the 8 string pioneers who started it all - with a drummer who is not of this world.
I like Chaosphere for the fact that it was before all the rampant computerization of the production. It sounds human while also having a mechanical aesthetic. SANEEEEEE! MEEEEEEE!
100% agree about Chaosphere. It was my 1st introduction to Meshuggah and my favorite album by theirs.
You, sir, are in the company of guitarists who are my inspiration as to why I want to learn how to play. Much respect to you!
My favourite Meshuggah record. I remember trading a kid System of a Downs first record for Chaosphere in 8th grade.
It's just incredible how low they make A# Standard sound. Pure masterpiece.
This song is actually insane on drums. The guitar solo section has straight quarter note crash (as intuitive as it is to match it to the kick) and eighth note pedal hat while the kick and snare are flailing around. My brain feels like it’s melting every time I play it.
The breakdown in The Mouth licking what you've bled is 30 years ahead of its time
This track gets no love, but it absolutely slays. It took my head off on first listen. The next track on the record is New Millennium Cyanide Christ. By the last breakdown riff of that song, music had been forever changed for me.
The best way I can describe concatenation is that it leans into the cage theme of the song really hard. It’s in 4/4, and the way they make the focus of the song the twisting, turning djenty lead, I get the image of a being in a small cage or cell, turning and turning and turning only to constantly be met with the next wall, frantically spinning and thrashing in the cage looking for a way to get out. It makes you frantic with it, the song behaves like a sonic cage, which is very thematically relevant
Concatenation is one of their most underrated songs. It´s an absolute killer track.
Not a huge Emmure fan but this is fantastic! One of the best metal albums from what I consider to be the greatest metal band. Thanks for the recommend, hope people take it up!
I would look into Josh's other projects also, emmure is the most tame and simple band he's ever been a part of
Well you should be now that Josh has taken over! They are a different band and they are WAY more talented all around.
Listen to THE TONY DANZA TAPDANCE EXTRAVAGANZA. Specifically DANZA IIII :THE ALPHA
I remember around 20 or more years ago seeing the music video Rational Gaze and hearing Meshuggah for the first time. It honestly, for me, added a whole new way of looking at music entirely. They had just released Nothing at that time so the next logical step was to back track to Chaosphere. Never looked back. DEI had it's moments but Chaosphere was PERFECT. Along with any project Josh Travis touches.
I like he started with the remix version from their Rare Trax album. Way heavier and more groove imo.
The remix from Rare Trax is groovier and easier to grasp, but listening to the original is like being stuck in a giant tumble dryer with a bunch of angry cats while spinning into a black hole.
@@Ragnarockalypse Lmao exactly. Both have to exist
I can relate so much to hearing the album and then a lot of things I used to think were the best weren't . And I just heard it after like 20 years of heavy music.
Great video, thanks for putting it out there Josh! There's a big lesson here which I hope a lot of people take home....dancing with your palm mute rather than just hammering it on/off is something that isn't possible to spend too much time practicing on, whether it's for this style of music or any other. If you can feel it, you're working _with_ the music as part of it instead of simply carrying out a recital.
Concatenation fucking SLAPS. I think it's my favorite off this album
My favorite song played by josh Travis, it is all good
Josh! The Man ✊
It truely is the holy grale!
Corridor of chameleons beatdown riff at like 2:40 was so ahead of its time… so many hardcore bands play that exact riff nowadays. It’s amazing.
Chaosphere Is my favorite album behind ObZen
This! It's become the generic super heavy breakdown but corridor of chameleons is undefeated. CRUSHING
Jens with an almost rap flow his vocals and that double downbeat before the dissonant breakdowns hit...this is favorite Meshuggah song ever. So far ahead of anyone else.
This, that breakdown it's brutal, way head of 1998
that right hand is smooth as buttttah
Josh is probably the most underrated guitar player on the planet. His solo stuff (ua-cam.com/video/LU_ihd1VEUM/v-deo.html) and Danza IIII (ua-cam.com/video/P8ki6DlMM90/v-deo.html) is just ridiculous.
One of the most confusing patterns (at first listen). But then knowing how to play it becomes addictive.
New Millennium Cyanide Christ is my favourite of that album and probably amongst my top 3 Meshuggah songs, along with Future Breed Machine and Stengah.
he's correct about the dynamics part tho, backing off on the palm mutes
I feel for this guy. Describing Chaosphere is not easy. “Bananas” just about sums it up though.
do you guys reckon he might be a meshuggah fan?
Meshuggah are from another planet … !!!
dang! that Kiesel tho.
Bruh I’m like 75% sure that’s the Kiesel build I spec’d out and had to cancel! Was going for a Jon Deiley-inspired baritone tele, and it’s super sick to see someone like Josh get a hold of it.
Check out Josh’s meshuggah playthroughs for a better picture of Josh’s sick tones. His tone here is being thinned out by the camera mic.
When Josh Goes Travis x3
Chaosphere, Catch33, then Nothing are in my opinion the Unholy Metal Trinity❤🤟
More JT!!
Wish your recording sound was better. Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza
this comments section contains no GORF... wtf?
Yeah, I'd say he's played that just a few times, huh?
JT my man
….the Holy Grail of Meshuggah for me is the record "Destroy Erase Improve"….
Hard to pick a fave, but suuuper under-rated, that one. Just listen to beneath! Or vanishing, I think that's the one with layered soft spoken word with rhythms that play counterpoint to the metal versess.
Corridor of chameleons makes me want to eat bugs for breakfast
I hate Emmure but this is awesome! Fukkkin MESHUGGAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
WHAT A HOT MAN
Enter Gwen Stefani ITS BANANAS B! A N A N A S!!!!!!!!@
Who the hell mic'd the stack lol sounds awful and too quiet
"You know you can play riffs with 2 strings, I mean 2 strings, can you believe that shit!":-7
except concatenation is played all downpicked
Who??
This sounds like a 2 stroke engine with ignition problem to me...
That sounded trash
No
