What's your favourite track of the record after listening to all of it?
Solid job man, keep grinding. You're very entertaining
PINEAL IS COMING!!!!!!!!
Yesss you did it!! I am glad that you enjoyed it! It's a very special gem of a track :) Love your reactions man and thanks for being so open-minded. I truly wish more people in the world had your approach! :)
Devin Townsend: "we all steal from Meshuggah."
Is that a lyric from the track "Planet of the Apes", off the Deconstructed album? I was just listening to that again yesterday and it popped into me head when I saw that comment! Id like to see more Devin on here with Drew. I think "Genesis" would be an insane listen for him.
@@kylereece1979 I think it was just an interview or podcast.
@@Egoblivion Ah, cool. I do know though,that in the song "planet of the apes", he does sing that same line, so I thought twas from that.😃 That particular song is full of Mesuggah sludge chugs and the usual detours that Devin likes to deviate you around in some of his songs.
@@kylereece1979 oh okay, I did not know that...maybe I've read that in comments so many times that I assumed it was from an interview... I'm familiar with the album but rarely listen to lyrics. Intereating that he'd say that in a song...talk about a shout-out! Is he singinging it or speaking it? Fredrik Thordendal even plays the solo on the title song "Deconstruction."
He sings it. Tis about half way or so into the song, and the word "Meshuggah" is echoed , ringing out as it leads into the next part. Check out the lyrics online mate, and follow along with the song. Devin Rules!
If tempo is what you like, can't wait for you to hear "The Demon's Name is Surveillance" 🤯
I read they refuse to play it live because it's just too exhausting.
Damn, if they play bleed live every night but won't play that song I'm surprised, I feel like bleed is probably more tiring due to the length
@@TheVashnessItself99 Two differences are that TDNIS is relentless and has close to zero pause in the kick pattern, while Bleed has a couple of moments for Tomas to catch his breath, and the fact that the tempo in TDNIS is right in that uncomfortable spot where it's slow enough for it to sound sloppy if not tight af, but fast enough to be exhausting.
@@Niamorg1007 truth
Band formations:
Meshuggah (1987) - Sweden
Gojira (1996) - France
Periphery (2005) - Washington DC
international influences
Sikth (1999) - England
Covid-19 (2019) - Kina
I hear ppl say Gojira is ripped off Morbid Angel...lol
Yup the " French Morbid Angel" lol then ripped of meshuggah when death metal was lame.
If you continue on the Meshuggah train, both “Koloss” and “Nothing” are full of insane tracks
If you want to check out a new band I think After The Burial would be excellent. The guitarist in ATB is the nephew of Fredrik of Meshuggah.
Similar vibes but more modern sounding. A song like “Collapse” or “In Flux” is where I would start
Nice suggestions! But if he is going for After the Burial ... dont you think "Lost in the Static" would even be a better track for a first time listening? One of the grooviest banger tracks ever written ... at least in my opinion! xD
@@synthtonic4954 I considered it but i went through their albums, re-listened to some songs and thought these two would be a better first listen. LITS is definitely a banger and one he should check out eventually
Where did you get the info about ATB being related to Fredrik?? Couldn't find anything about that
The last riff on Electric Red gets me every time, sounds like the end of the world! You should react to Car Bomb- Secrets Within. It’s one of my favorite tracks of theirs! ❤️💀🙌🏽👍🏽
After you are done with Obzen check out:
Corridor Of Chameleons
Ivory Tower
Perpetual Black Second
Beneath
Humiliative
By The Ton
I second ivory tower and add a vote for I am Colossus
Yes! Corridor of Chameleons is so god damned underrated and influential
This is another great one on the Alive DVD. The riff that starts at 9:00 Jens does the most hilarious and epic headbanging ever
Jens does Jens-things. 😎🤘
Obzen | Catch 33 | Nothing - the Meshuggah holy trinity 👌
GOD DAMN, I love this track🤘 Let us never forget that Thomas Haake is one of the greatest drummers to ever walk this earth👏👏👏
And he would really, REALLY like you to react to Neurotica😁
Cheers🍻
7:33 that breakdown then double breakdown is soo fucking good
I keep saying it but their album Nothing is literal perfection. It's the perfect blend of groove, complexity and skull crushing heaviness.
Approved. 🤘
Agreed, but I'm also very partial to Catch.33, love that thing.
Well said mate!👊
Fuck yes man! Both pressings are equally great but I love the original one from 2002.
CATCH 33 when you have 47 minutes to spare! also thats what i do, instead of getting to technical with how to head bang i just feel the riffs and rythim freely and enjoy the music more without rules. it’s cool that you’ve been enjoying Meshuggah! i’m excited for their new album thats dropping later this year hopefully!!
These Catch 33 is the Best album of all Career of Meshuggah
Dude you're really getting the groove now! All about that sick feel hidden in the chaos ;) You'd probably dig their Nothing album as it's very sludgy and groovy with a similar production.
MAAAARRRROOOWWWW!!!
I read your comment and instantly continued the last part of the song in my head and started to headbang in a silent room! xD
I always underestimate Obzen. It was the first record of theirs I heard and it got me in to their tunes, but then fell in love with Violent Sleep and Koloss, but bloooooody hell, Electric Red is so groovy. That crash cymbal that comes in at like 5:05 is the slickest thing and then the outro is so heavy. Man. What a tune.
Do Nothing in its entirety! Do it! Do it! Do it! Your face is gonna melt.
Seeing your face at the last riff of the song. It reminded me back in 2008. First time seeing Meshuggah, front row, They played this song, I thought my head was gonna fall on the floor because due to brutal headbanging.
Man, I need to disturb my neighbors tomorrow with some Meshuggah training! Lol. Can play ~80% of this song, still truggle with that “mellow” part towards the end. 🙈🎸
Make a video when you've got it down!
Two album suggestions: First, Chaosphere. Ultra heavy, ultra groovy in spots. New Millennium Cyanide Christ is the bubble gum pop single of the album haha. But seriously, when I first heard this album it was like nothing I had ever heard before (or since, really). And secondly, Nothing. I love that album because it felt like Meshuggah said, “Okay, we just blew your head off with Chaosphere, now we’re going to slow it down and deconstruct everything, and you’re still not going to comprehend what the fuck we’re doing.” And Stengah sets the tone out of the gate. Anyway, love the reactions. Cheers man.
Please continue the chaotic spiral into Meshuggah's catalogue. If I had a recommendation that no one is gonna ask for, listen to By the Ton for the riffs and the grooves.
Pineapple Gland Optics is one of my top three favorites off of the Obzen album
Electric Red - Now you are talking...
You have to do the entire “Violent Sleep Of Reason” album! Every song on that album is absolute brutality!
Behind the Sun! Gotta see it
Can't wait till you listen to this album all the way through on your own when this is all over. I think it'll be a favorite for you in the years to come. :)
Some other bands in this same vein you're on rn, if you wanna switch it up:
"Nonagon" by Car Bomb
"Philistine Philosophies" by SikTH
"I, the Destroyer" by Monuments
"Repugnant" by The Odious
Awesome! Knew you'd dig that outro riff!
Dude this is their one of their best/brutal joints they've ever done
My recommendation for a heavy meshuggah song is "by the ton"
Amon Amarth - War of the Gods
Amon Amarth - Free Will Sacrifice
Amon Amarth - Valhall Awaits Me
Dude, listen to Catch 33. Some riffs are gonna rip your hair off
Catch 33 is amazing but it's pretty challenging imo
@@dustmemory9891 it's Meshuggah. It's supposed to be challenging
Better in context of the whole album of course, but his face would probably melt if he heard Dehumanization
@@darksunwithin that's what I was thinking. Imo it works better if you listen to all the album before, it kind of prepares your ears
@@AmpollaDiVater Agreed. Now that he has heard 'I', and appreciates the hypnotizing aspect of their grooves, it might be time for this 47 minute song! 😄
I hope you continue with the Meshuggah album journey. Would love to see you react to the whole Violent Sleep of Reason album.
you're ready for catch 33 now. pleeeassee, that album is absolutely FUCKED.
"Sludgy" only brings one other Meshuggah song to mind: Into Decay. They pretty much said they were just trying to get the nastiest guitar tone they could manage, then made a song out of it. It's not my favorite track of theirs, but it's undeniably heavy.
I'd say almost anything from the Violent Sleep of Reason album would be a good pick, especially the title track itself!
The title track went from being the least fav from the album to my most listened track of all time. Takes a while to get into that one but it's just amazing.
@@muffmuff3631 I have to say the whole Violent Sleep album was a grower for me. I've been a fan since Obzen, but this album took me a while. Now it's probably in my top 3-4 albums from them.
apparently the opening riff is just a 100w orange amp on max gain and volume with the bass punched in the EQ. sounds insane
Do Corridor of Chameleons !!
The groove is real in this one! 🤘🐐
Their catalogue is huge you have many songs to go :)
I always loved the build and breakdown of this! So awesome!
Keep reacting to Meshuggah!
If you could, you should check out the bands Bleed From Within and Monuments!
Respect from The UK, 0121!🤘🏼
Bridge part to this song is insane.
You know that feeling when your coffee isn't quite right and you cant figure out why? You just need meshuggah!
Great video man, its been awesome to have a vid each day so thank you for that! Keep it up but remember to rest too!
React to Pomegranate Tiger - Sign of Ruin!
I happened to listen to this album today. I get what you mean , it's all subjective of course, about you not being as in to the stuff that's sludgier but when you listen to the album as a whole.... man it fuckin all works perfectly
I definitely think you should check out more of the material off Nothing. It is the album, in my opinion that really put their trademark sludgy groove on full display, while still retaining the driving tempos that keeps it from feeling too sluggish.
Speaking of Gojira, it would be really cool to see you reacting to some of their old material from Terra Incognita and The Link. Tracks like Remembrance, Clone, Space Time and Over The Flows for example.
Hope UA-cam will recognize your hard work and give you the award
I'm game for literally any song from their library but Perpetual Black Second's riff has the dirtiest opening riff I have ever heard
Honestly, I'd love to see you cover some Sikth.... especially the first album. Skies of Millenium Night is a stand out for me.
But if you're up for more Meshuggah definitely check Nothing - Stengah was my introduction to this band and set the tone for what I'd be listening to from then on.
Catch 33 is definitely worth a listen too - though every track bleeds into the next. Maybe a 47 minute mega video? XD
you should get into kollos for continuation of their development or nothing for their origin(of their super 'djent' vibe)! dmeon's name is surveillance and marrow is amazing!
You should check out some Strapping Young Lad at some point. It's one of Devin Townsend's bands and they have some similarities with Meshuggah. Definitely still their own thing though. I'd start off with the track Love off of the Alien album. Super heavy with great groove.
Also, alot of people miss this song. For when you´re done with Obzen and want to listen to their most insane song, find the song War of their "rare trax". Like, it´s not exactly meshuggah sounding but i honestly didn´t think they had that song in them. It´s just fun and fast as all holy fuck haha.
Now you are ready for some Chaosphere. And after that you might even try to listen to "Sol niger within" (Frederick solo project, the boy is genius) Ermz remastered one will be better (got more oomf but with all the original quality).
Man you gotta do After The Burial. Sooooooooooooooo groovy
Nostrum!!!
You got it Drew, gotta just vibe with it. Feel the groove. There's an ancient chinese saying: "Are you feeling it now Mr. Krabs?"
😭😂🤣🤣🤣
Ah, my two favourite songs left to do :)
You have to check out Swarm and Marrow from Koloss!! 🤘🏻
Only thing left is to follow their next tour. Meshheads?
Please try "spasm" from the nothing album.
Power Trip - Divine Apprehension
Power Trip - Hornet’s Nest
Power Trip - Crucifixation
Man pineal gland optics is top 3 on obzen. The song that made me go crazy for meshuggah in the beginning. By the way, if u want their grooviest track, do closed eye visuals from nothing:)
Tough love - Left behind
Desert rambler - Hum
Turnstile blues - Autolux
Parsons curse - Royal thunder
Woven - Warish
Black mass - Electric wizard
Hypermania - Polaris
Bow - Julie christmas
Guillotine - Death grips
New heaven - Hands
Down the drain - Sewerslvt
Window licker - Aphex twin
I see you - one true god
I'm so sick - Halocene
If you do a rereaction you should do the whole album. This is a concept alum and there is something about the sequence of the tracks.
I will stop at Nothing!
Check out Vildhjarta - Dagger .. or any other song by them.
So, much like Meshuggah came before and influenced bands like Periphery and Gojira.... There's another band that was early to the party and influenced bands like Periphery... And they're called Sikth.
Sikth - Bland Street Bloom. ;)
Pineal Gland Optics is going to melt your Pineal Gland man.
*Pineapple Gland*
Please react to mouth licking what youve bled by meshuggah, its really good. Also, if you want something completely insane listen to aztec two step by meshuggah. Its straight up completely nuts, also, if you do listen to this song, do the full 10 or so minute song.
Pineal gland optics
🤘🔥🤘 awesome dude. Can't wait for the next one😎
Would be cool to see a reaction of a live performance like death in death from the Catch33 album. The latest album will kick your ass too. Nostrum is heavy🔥🔥
Don't forget to check out Carbomb and Humanity's Last Breath. You will love them to.
Great to watch your channel! Keep it comming
NOTHING Album was my intro into Meshuggah. Can’t wait for you to listen to those tracks!
Vektor recharging the void.
Can we get some beneath the massacre?
I recommend Vildhjarta
Thornhill - Coven :D
If that is too slow for you, I'd like to see you react to some doom metal lol
Especially funeral doom, where bar length can be measured in minutes...
In my opinion this is the 2nd best track on Obzen after Bleed!

So, what, like a month until you get to Terminal Illusions on Destroy Erase Improve ?? 😁😁👍👍🤘🤘
Well Link was 2005? I feel like Meshuggah probably pulled some Gojira into their later albums. Gojira are incredibly influential on metal
It's possible that Gojira also influenced some Meshuggah sections later on (maybe on Behind The Sun) but chugging riffs like the ending of Remembrance from The Link album clearly point back to Meshuggah's Destroy Erase Improve or even earlier tracks like Choirs Of Devestation from 1991. Especially the later sounds basically like the riff in Gojira's In The Forest. However, to put it into perspective Gojira's main influences are early Death Metal and I don't think they took a lot of ideas from Meshuggah overall...but there are still a few obvious ones.
I feel like Meshuggah's influences haven't changed since their early days (Metallica, jazz, etc). It's just that since chaosphere, they started slowly getting deeper and deeper into what they truly wanted to become (polymetric grooves at ridiculously low frequencies)
Is it time for Car Bomb do we think? Pew pew pew pew?
pls react to ' the new Joker ' or 'Libera8 ' from the band ' Project Renegade ' sometime if you dont already have ^^
try demon's name is surveillance
Better in context of the whole album of course, but his face would probably melt if he heard Dehumanization 😄 The stretch of Shed till Sum would be great introduction of Catch Thirythree!
Actually, I think Gojira sounds like a cross between Morbid Angel and SYL.
bro more meshuggah
Uneven structure - outlaw if you want something newer
Uneven Structure are such an underrated band
Fair warning, Pineal Gland Optics and Spiteful Snake are probably the two "weirdest" songs on the album. Have fun!
No need to do any other bands. Just keep reacting to every single Meshuggah song. .....and then do the entire album of Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know my Name.
Seems funny people getting their knickers in a twist over who did it first between Meshuggah and Gojira. There are obviously moments where there are similarities, but other than a few occasional moments that's pretty much it in my opinion. Gojira are heavily influenced by 90s death metal bands, mostly Morbid Angel. So when I hear Gojira I don't hear any Meshuggah, only the death metal influence. At least in their older stuff. Newer Gojira doesn't really sound like the band that I used to love, but that's my loss
I agree, Gojira and Meshuggah are COMPLETELY different bands.
React to more from Periphery
Finish it up and then Humanitys Last Breath - Earthless. If you're man enough! :P
Drew you may get mixed replies but if you review any songs off the nothing album can you please do it off the original album (marked by the orange cover usually) the remastered version has slightly different tempos the vocals In my opinion are not as full of life and the the drums are programmed not recorded. The drums are ethe heart of Meshuggah and the colour in a song such as straws pulled.at random are just not as present in the remastered version. Cheers lad
I think he should just listen to both versions of Straws Pulled At Random (which he has done) and decide for himself which version he prefers for future reactions. I personally like the remaster more but the Meshuggah fans are very split on that matter as you said
@@alexanderschildknecht2090 yeah I totally agree I feel people having heard the remaster first will prefer that, I certainly prefer the original because that's the version I heard first. You can't unheard your impression once you do. they both have pros and cons, I resonate with the cleaner feel the remaster gives. But I can't forgive how the drums seem nerfed in the remaster
@@ODIus1549 I can see that...for me there are certain tracks I prefer on the original mix even if the remaster is my favourite version overall. I always listen to the old Stengah because of those little ambient sounds you can hear at 0.49 into the track. Never understood why this was left out later, adds so much to the atmosphere.
Oh just finish the stinkin' album lol.
There’s. It really anything Djent at all about Gojira. The only thing that binds either of them are common thrash and death metal influences. I haven’t ever really heard any similarities other than that really basic common thread.
MORE GOJIRA REACTS!!!!
Destroy Erase Improve
Gojira aka Godzilla was a mediocre death metal band by the time Meshuggah released Caosphere.
to me, Combustion was always the one track that didn't feel a perfect fit for the album. it's a great track, sure, but if you take it away and start the album with "Electric Red", "Obzen" rather feels like a concept album. Theres a rather psychedelic side to this album only Combustion doesn't really have.
To me, you are trying too hard or even very much want to feel the rythm. One can tell when you start swaying (is that a word?) your head. Don’t listen to certain things in the music, feel the atmosphere, get the groove and enjoy. Then your body will follow the flow. Altough i’ve been listening to this band since pre Future Breed Machine (-95). Meshuggah are pioneers to chugga chugga metal music!
