    3 reasons you’re my favorite reactor on youtube:
    1. You pause at good times and not too frequently to enjoy the music properly on a first listen
    2. You pick out things on a first listen that would take most people several listens
    3. Your genuine love of music is apparent

      @dmytrotsvyntarnyi799 4 місяці тому

      ​@iangillies711 they sometimes actually do, in a way, get heavier with repeats. When the repeat happens, the riff becomes syncopated in a different way from the previous syncopation. Sometimes, each syncopation that follows is more complex than the previous one, which makes each repeat more complex, more tense, and, therefore, more heavy

      Catch 33 as an album is one of the greatest music pieces I've ever heard. It feels like an intense movie score or something. Especially the quiet ominous ending of "In Death/Is Death" and how it abruptly explodes into the beginning of "Shed" with Jens screaming his head off....holy hell. The final track "Sum" is the most bone-chilling hopeless thing I've heard. Masterpiece. Pure masterpiece.

    Fun fact: saw Meshuggah in Charlotte NC in maybe 2014-2015 or so. First time seeing them live. Darkest Hour was opener followed by Animals As Leaders(which tripped me out seeing a bunch of metal heads standing like stone in a trance-like state during their performance) and then Meshuggah. Meshuggah was waaay late for some reason and the reason was Jens was sick and couldn’t perform live. So instead of cancelling altogether, the band agreed to play live back a backing vocal track to substitute an absent Jens. So imagine seeing Meshuggah doing Meshuggah stuff live on stage but “Jens” was a Mike stand dressed in a Meshuggah shirt with a haphazardly attached cut out of Jens face on the stand head 😂
    P.S.: If I recall correctly(herb😬), they closed with this song and it was the ABSOLUTE BALLS. 🖤

    Maybe in a month or two, after some more Meshuggah tracks, you could listen to Catch Thirty-Three, their album that is more like a traditional symphony than a collection of tracks. The overall composition and use of motifs and atmospherics is nothing short of genius. I'm sure as a composer you'll be foaming at the mouth with excitement when it all comes together in the final act. Don't miss it!

    2. THAT outro... has being bludgeoned by a metaphorical war hammer ever sounded/felt so good?!

    I absolutely sympathize with your take on letting riffs play out. A lot of prog metal has fantastically constructed riffs that only get a single play through, or maybe 2 if they're lucky.
    But when a band just sits on an idea for a bit, maybe lets it evolve a little, it's beautiful. Get a different backbeat behind it, play a melody over it, put it in different times or tempos, but stay with the idea for a bit. The repetition legitimizes it, and it imprints harder on your brain.

    I first heard Meshuggah in 1999 and they just blew me away. I feel like their old stuff doesn’t get enough credit. Granted, when Nothing was released it totally changed heavy music forever, but the older stuff was just as good. Lots of odd soloing, and heavy, crunchy, thrash metal riffs. I doubt too many would be interested in the pre polyrhythm stuff for your videos, but if you get time you should listen to Contradictions Collapse, None, and Destroy Erase Improve. You’ll see a distinct difference and it’s interesting to listen to the albums in chronological order to see their evolution. They never wrote a bad album. Thordendal is the unsung hero of modern metal music. He paved the way.
