On my way to Oslo🇳🇴 to see the Masters of the Universe, also known as Meshuggah tonight🥳🤘 Can’t remember the last time I was so excited for a concert😂 Oh and a suggestion for a Meshuggah react; Neurotica from their 1998 MASTERPIECE Chaosphere. Sounds like a piece of music from the future🤘
This live was insane to see and hear. The light technician (or is it engineer?) is basically another member of the band, even according to them. He learns the songs like the band to be able to match the lights so well. But yeah, the song was epic. I was carried away by the rhythm.
Those whispers at the end give me chills... "Purpose!!!" This is one of those tunes you need to hear 360°, every layer, every beat. What a behemoth! Thanks for doing this one, Dean! 🤗
Wow, wonderful choice Jen!🤘 The new Meshuggah album is just outstanding. Meshuggah is special, and their influence on the metal genre can’t be overstated. I would go so far as saying they are one of the greatest metalbands of all time. Their 1998 MASTERPIECE Chaosphere still sounds like something that could be composed 50 years from now😁 Neurotica would be a great song to react to, just saying🙏🏻 Oh and a shoutout to their drummer Thomas Haake. One of the best drummers of all time🤘 If you get a chance to see them live; DO IT!
I heard Tomas hadn't played in over a year due to some skin issues (I believe, don't quote me please), but seeing some footage of their 2022 tour, I wouldn't have had a clue. He sounds as good as ever, they all do. I don't know what kind of lifestyle choices these fellas have made, but I am thoroughly interested.
This is the album intro track and is the least intense track of the album.. the next track really kicks things off: The Abysmal Eye. Has a crazy vid as well.
In my opinion the real meshuggah are in the grooviest songs: Perpetual black second, straws pulled at random, Born in dissonance, neurotica, soul burn, marrow... 🙂
If you're keen on understanding Meshuggah, perhaps have a look at Yogev Gabay's yt channel. He uses classical Indian notation to define their complexity.
Saw them live in London a couple of months ago. Either they have a playback going or they're not human. No counts, no weird buzzing or feedback. They just launch into each song in perfect unison. Their lighting show is great and kind of makes it difficult to tell if they're actually doing it live or not.
They play to a click live since 2012. (only so the programmed lights, and programmed guitar channel switching is in sync) So they hear the click count in and we don't. Not that they weren't always very tight before. One of the tightest metal bands I've ever heard live.
Saw them few weeks ago in NYC. They opened with this song, the whole show was just mindblowing. Not human for sure, totally live. And yes the light show... If I could, I would go see them more than once, waiting for next tour.
@@opart Sadly their brilliant musicianship probably won't get it's proper respect until we're all dead. They are so complex and tight, but to the average, casual music fan, it sounds off because their ears are not trained for the experience. Those guys are in a league of their own. You hear talk of Djent or whatever, but to me they are a genre unique to them. I've been in a band for 30 years. It's what I do and I've never heard anything like it. Controlled chaos. They really are mind blowing. Good for you experiencing it live. We belong to a club that most people will never belong to. Cheers.
@@brettanderson7832 Spot on, although I think they are getting proper respect, just not from mainstream audience - and I doubt mainstream audience will ever be ready for something like this. I've been listening to what some might call "extreme" music for a long time, some of my favorite music is from early 90s, but none of them ever made it to casual music listener, despite having a very distinct sound, and defining genre. For example Tiamat - Wildhoney, in my opinion one of the best doom metal albums. Or My Dying Bride, or Paradise Lost, Burzum, you name it. I am going to see Clowncore live in few months... pretty excited, friends thought I was crazy when I showed them the videos :D. Their loss. It's like oysters, first time you try them you only repulsed about the texture, and cannot understand the flavor. But after a while you totally start to get it, acquired taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good morning, Dean! I'm glad I took the night off last night, it allowed me to catch you this early! I thought you had already reacted to this! Have you heard the rest of the album? It's absolutely relentless, and a lot of what I've been listening to since April. I can't wait to pull a muscle when I go to hear this live. :D
NO IT IS NOT. It is not. God damn. He was talking about learning the riff pattern, and that riff pattern is 100% NOT in 4/4, and it's ludicrous to say so. The only people who say this are people who've heard it elsewhere and who are clearly not musicians.
The riff patten is 6 beats long. You could say 6/4, but I think it's more accurate to say a pulse of 2/4 followed by a pulse of 4/4. You can count it yourself. It's simple to do. And when you count then you will realise that it is not 4/4. You don't have to repeat what you read on YT. That riff is NOT 4/4.
@@richardhorrocks1460 literally everything meshuggah writes is in 4/4 including the riffs. people get confused when they try to count the riffs to the "end" instead of cutting them off at the 4. The riffs themselves are assymmetrical and dont repeat in time but they are still 4/4
@@MattMajcan That's not a mistake! That's how you count music! What's the point in having time signatures if you're going to cut off after four beats every time? That opening riff is six beats long. End of. It's a 2/4 + a 4/4. Pretty simple for Meshuggah. But it is not - in any normal understanding of music - a 4/4 riff, and your explanation to 'cut off after four beats' makes no sense whatsoever. Why?
@@richardhorrocks1460 What's the point in having time signatures if you're going to cut off after four beats every time? thats a really good question ive always wondered the answer too. its much simpler for me to think of everything in 4/4 and just memorize the notes but apparently other people dont work that way. meshuggah themselves have said this about themselves too, and that they write everything in 4/4 and dont know anything about music theory, and if the riffs overlap then its just a decision they made because it sounds good but not because they sat down and said lets write a riff in 6/4 and lay it over a 4/4 drum beat.

lyrics:
Inside, watching the core
Of whatever, we had left of our lives
The multiplications divide
We drink to quench
The thirst to come
With the bones that we left
The trap was sprung
Blind, ancient and malevolent
Cosmos divides
The truth is, we never
Ever had truth in sight
We spat on this purpose
We ate of whatever was left
The chasm beneath us will open
And swallow the rest
Me the broken cog
You seem to not have understood
Knives out, strings set in motion
You act like you're surprised
Pre-emptive strike
Ruin, chaos, focus
Whispers, murmurs
Voices, voices
Whispers, purpose
Voices, murmurs
Whispers, murmurs
Voices, voices
Whispers, murmurs
Voices, purpose (purpose, purpose)

Straws Pulled at Random has the most beautiful outro of any Meshuggah song. Highly recommend

Oh and a suggestion for a Meshuggah react; Neurotica from their 1998 MASTERPIECE Chaosphere. Sounds like a piece of music from the future🤘
Shout out on behalf of prog dog!
I watched them live this year playing the song as an opener. It was just perfect for that, incredible powerful.
This live was insane to see and hear. The light technician (or is it engineer?) is basically another member of the band, even according to them. He learns the songs like the band to be able to match the lights so well.
But yeah, the song was epic. I was carried away by the rhythm.
Do you think they still do the light by hand? if so it's incredible (I saw the old doc about this, but so complex now)
@@opart No, It's all automated now I believe
Meshuggah can get strangely relaxing to me, don't really know why lol, I could sleep to that
Those whispers at the end give me chills... "Purpose!!!" This is one of those tunes you need to hear 360°, every layer, every beat. What a behemoth! Thanks for doing this one, Dean! 🤗
awww, my pleasure
Seeing Meshuggah live is a sensory overload!

Hi, thanks René! And hello, Maynard's spaceship!!! Long time no see! 😊
"One of the best".. I'm sorry.. But that is basically an insult..Think of your favourite drummer... This guy is your favourite drummer's God..
Nice Dean (and Jen)!
Mesuggah is an amazing and unique band
I haven't explored the last album yet, but Chaosphere (1998) is one of my favorites
Want a mesmerizing pattern? Armies of the preposterous.
This is the album intro track and is the least intense track of the album.. the next track really kicks things off: The Abysmal Eye. Has a crazy vid as well.
Such an underrated release.... this is an amazing track as well
It's cold where I am. A second major wintry blast hit this afternoon. 5°C (41°F) here at 11:29 Sunnight.

I use Meshuggah as ASMR. Relaxing af.

Minimal exposure to meshuggah
Yeah, relentless is a great word for it! That album blew the skin right off my face! 😋
@@jennifer9047 LOL! I was considering botox. Now I don't need it. The album blew my face right back!
Meshuggah use an 8-string tuned to a very low F so you were 100% correct!
👍
Time signature 6/4 I think 2:50.
The songs in 4/4 or 12/8. However you want to count it.
Sir, i beg you to react to Suede - Your Life is Golden
Ghost rider vibes
This video is about taking the cov-jabs.
its 4/4.. its always 4/4..
