My friends always give me weird looks when I sit there with my iPod, sllightly headbanging and they ask me "What are you listening to?" and I reply "Nothing" :-/
The first time I heard this song it really had an effect on me. I couldn't get that ending riff out of my head. Ive even had dreams with that riff playing. There's just something about it.
@@tortureRoom You are nuts!! maybe the verse and the chorus are not a big deal but from the heavy riff before the solo onwards I think it's insanely heavy and brutal.
I tried to show Meshuggah to a friend. He listened for 30 seconds, switched it off and turned out Linkin Park's "In The End". Now I myself do like some Linkin Park every now and then, but this... was a sad moment for me.
Last night I downtuned my 7 string, started to play this song while listening it. The hyperboreal severance exospace collision magnitude of 6:23 and beyond is pure bestiality in many levels
One of Meshuggah's most underrated songs, in my opinion. SICK groove, mind bending lyrics, POWER and depth...testament to the fact that they are an aptly titled band.
The first time you hear Meshuggah, it's overwhelming. Then you get into their music and keep finding things that you didn't hear the first time through. They never get old, no matter how well you know their music.
6:23 onwards is fucking awesome. i love the over the top bend note in the riff... "derp... bee nerr nerrp...nnnnnerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr nerp" so fucking brutal and over the top. i love how it just sounds so out of place and is carried way over the bar
My personal opinion is that the combination of guitars, rhythm, and rhythmically-placed screaming vocals during the "MIND-SIGNAL TRANSMISSION PEAKED, DISTORTED, BENT... UN-RE-STRAINED!!" defines Meshuggah's style the best.
The riff that plays from 3:00 to 3:30 is a solid contender for best riff on the album, in my opinion. So fucking brutal. And the rhythm is somewhat unusual for Meshuggah, especially the double snare hit at, say, 3:06 (I'm not sure what that... rhythm? is called, unfortunately). The way the guitar stops and starts again, the noise gate doing it's magic and the zeros chugging away. Fucking mesmerising. Makes you really feel the groove and headbang along.
"A twirling visual overload, Explosions of terror and beauty, Colours of fear and pain within, Crashing to Unanything." Tomas Haake, you are a lyrical genius.
black metal bands are religious visionaries and philosophers, etc, more than musicians; but meshuggah are pure musicians first and foremost. Their superior musicianship comes through instantly.
This song used to scare me. Lol. When it quiets down and gets slow and melodic and fades out, then he comes out of nowhere with the screaming vocals. Ha ha. Love it.
First, i was interressted in this band.Then, i forgot them. I found them again, listened,.......it was hard. Now i think: FUCK how brutal, fucking good are they????
I'm so high right now and entranced by the ancestral blue print fractal layers like an onion housing thresholds of frequency that attract colours into harmonic geometric picture produced by the numbers which are well understood by the artist because what I see is thousands orcs destroying small villages in the dark while the light spits shapes through symptoms of sacred geometry.
Their last album sounds so flat in comparison to everything they've done in the past. I have quite a problem with the opener "Clockworks" due to that specific issue. There is no dynamic in the mix. It's just so flavourless. The drums should shine in that song, but since the first hat hits you know there's something missing.
NG Resonance was literally just telling a friend about the exact same thing except with Godflesh, so naturally I subconsciously looked up Meshuggah afterwards.
i believe the only 'bad' thing Meshuggah ever did was re-recording this album.why man?why Meshuggah?i still hear this 11 years after i bought it,and it still sounds amazing.just perfect Meshuggah music,that's all.
@killwhitneydead666 I've listened to catch 33 and nothing back to back while tripping. All i can say is when you come down how many hours later your left with a definite lasting impression.
You have to have the quite part before 6:23...actually you have to start it from Jens' guitar solo, which is one of my favorite Jens moments. This is a severely under rated song in their library. Love it. It's even better in the re-release.
I have to get this album. My first Meshuggah album was the one the re-did, and it's my 2nd favorite album of all their albums. It's fun to hear what they felt needed to change. I like the vocals on the re-release, and I like the way the new one sounds. I'm not into the newly released track "Pitch Black" that they put out recently. I heard that tune was supposed to be part of Nothing originally. No Jens, no Meshuggah...with a few exceptions.
I remember listening to this on lsa the precursor to lsd it felt like i was going through a thought loop of never ending lies that society created. lsa is crazier than lsd mentally

I see what you did there
The first time I heard this song it really had an effect on me. I couldn't get that ending riff out of my head. Ive even had dreams with that riff playing. There's just something about it.
All this album is a masterpiece!!!
This is the one that changed metal forever.
@@tortureRoom You are nuts!! maybe the verse and the chorus are not a big deal but from the heavy riff before the solo onwards I think it's insanely heavy and brutal.
Yes, probably the worst song of the album. @@tortureRoom
Ahead of its time!
I LOVE the sound of the original mix! Its fkn awesome. My favourite album as well.
I tried to show Meshuggah to a friend. He listened for 30 seconds, switched it off and turned out Linkin Park's "In The End". Now I myself do like some Linkin Park every now and then, but this... was a sad moment for me.
Sounds more like that it was a sad moment for your friend.

i think the detune has positively affected your syntactical elaborations.
One of Meshuggah's most underrated songs, in my opinion. SICK groove, mind bending lyrics, POWER and depth...testament to the fact that they are an aptly titled band.
all of this feels like a dream
the guitar solo just leaves me speachless rock out Meshuggah \m/
The first time you hear Meshuggah, it's overwhelming. Then you get into their music and keep finding things that you didn't hear the first time through. They never get old, no matter how well you know their music.
6:23 -- "I'M TROOOLLIIIING!!!!"
Yes, you are. And I love it.
This and Bleed are my favorite Meshuggah songs by far.
Man this song is my JAAMMMM ***Elaine dance***
some guys still dont know the awesomeness of the Nothing album
tomas haake is a lyrical genius.
He could be the most talented person in metal
One of the most underrated Meshuggah tracks imo. Solo is absolutely killer and the outro riff is heavy af and subdivided so precisely it’s AMAZING
Viking funk
The original sounds so much clearer!
You fucking RULE for posting this. This song - this version - is probably my favorite Meshuggah song...and that's saying something. This shit RIPS.
Part @3:00 makes me go fkn crazy. Thank you God/Universe/etc. for Meshuggah \m/
3:30 for me
If you read the lyrics to closed eye visuals by meshuggah, it’s like a poem on how dogs feel during 4th of July
-What's your favorite part of this one ?
-Yes.
6:23 onwards is fucking awesome. i love the over the top bend note in the riff... "derp... bee nerr nerrp...nnnnnerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr nerp" so fucking brutal and over the top. i love how it just sounds so out of place and is carried way over the bar

Destroy erase improve, contradictions collapse, and nothing are my top 3 fav meshuggah albums \m/
black metal bands are religious visionaries and philosophers, etc, more than musicians; but meshuggah are pure musicians first and foremost. Their superior musicianship comes through instantly.
One of the most underrated songs off of nothing..this song owns
This song used to scare me. Lol. When it quiets down and gets slow and melodic and fades out, then he comes out of nowhere with the screaming vocals. Ha ha. Love it.
This song is wonderful. Chaosphere and Nothing are what hooked me.
No words exist for statement my feelings from this
I watched the Alive dvd tripping balls. all the foot stamping to the beat and head banging had me sopped with sweat. it was terrifying/awesome
First, i was interressted in this band.Then, i forgot them. I found them again, listened,.......it was hard. Now i think: FUCK how brutal, fucking good are they????
have you heard the song Bleed? If you have I don't think you'd ever forget them again.
Kalman Kovacs I think New Millennium Cyanide Christ is better.
same opinion on this one...
I'm so high right now and entranced by the ancestral blue print fractal layers like an onion housing thresholds of frequency that attract colours into harmonic geometric picture produced by the numbers which are well understood by the artist because what I see is thousands orcs destroying small villages in the dark while the light spits shapes through symptoms of sacred geometry.
Wut?
@@Cannedscourge not wut WUTDAFUQ ?
I'll have what you're having.
cringe
It’s just so so good!!
My all time fav song by the mighty Meshuggah. A song that lives up to it's name.
it is as it is, perfect
Aww, the remaster is just so much better. Everything about it. It does the song more justice.
Omg! This song is simply amazing, and i discovered this band just now...
my favorite Meshuggah song
First album I bought of theirs , and still one of my favorites.
This album is revolution of their music makign and my music perception. G.O.A.T.
If they kept this version's drums with the new guitar this would have been the perfect album.
+Justin Stewart yeah especially if they would've left out the awful vocal overdubbing
Their last album sounds so flat in comparison to everything they've done in the past. I have quite a problem with the opener "Clockworks" due to that specific issue. There is no dynamic in the mix. It's just so flavourless. The drums should shine in that song, but since the first hat hits you know there's something missing.
Nothing instead
masterpiece
yep
Yep
How did this NOT become a single off this album??? Like seriously???
Wonderful
this is awesome.
Lovely!
Meshuggah was basically describing the dark side of LSD trips in their music.
NG Resonance was literally just telling a friend about the exact same thing except with Godflesh, so naturally I subconsciously looked up Meshuggah afterwards.
@@whoseeyesareflowers639 Totally and I don't think many fans have caught onto it yet either. Godflesh was on that dark psychedelic wave.
great track
Groovy as fuck
Best song ever
EXPLOSIONS!!!!
i believe the only 'bad' thing Meshuggah ever did was re-recording this album.why man?why Meshuggah?i still hear this 11 years after i bought it,and it still sounds amazing.just perfect Meshuggah music,that's all.
Just wanna say that it still sounds amazing 20 years later as well.
ALMOST pressed like, keep it up
I really like this song in particular from this band, i don't know, that riff is just really sick.
beautiful song
@killwhitneydead666 I've listened to catch 33 and nothing back to back while tripping. All i can say is when you come down how many hours later your left with a definite lasting impression.
thanks, i was wanting to listen to the original version
You have to have the quite part before 6:23...actually you have to start it from Jens' guitar solo, which is one of my favorite Jens moments. This is a severely under rated song in their library. Love it. It's even better in the re-release.
0:29 - 0:36 = Wow. The instantly win from just that. The rest of the song is just the biggest bonus.
Working out to this makes you feel like Mars
Thanks indeed. I like the way the original sounds so much better than the re-issue. And sadly that's all you find on youtube
everybody talking about the afterlude riff
but for me I love the part from 4:27 to 5:24
Metallica - Thrash
Behemoth - Death metal
Dethklok - Comedic Dethmetal
Meshuggah - Meshuggah
I have to get this album. My first Meshuggah album was the one the re-did, and it's my 2nd favorite album of all their albums. It's fun to hear what they felt needed to change. I like the vocals on the re-release, and I like the way the new one sounds. I'm not into the newly released track "Pitch Black" that they put out recently. I heard that tune was supposed to be part of Nothing originally. No Jens, no Meshuggah...with a few exceptions.
For some its happy and for some its dark and scary beware it will change you for awhile took me a few years to get over them
meshuggah has been doing this for 25 yrs. or so it's what allan holdsworth would sound like if played metal
Nope.
sick Gorguts reference (La Mort Orgasme)
Kalman Kovacs Yeah, direct influence for me :D
Meshuggah plus acid equals your brain in fight or flight in that ancient moment the split second before killing or being killed, the hair raises.
@DoctorLipsh1ts That's great. Keep us up to date with any further developments...
LOL.
@Ician100 It's sure to be. Obzen is probably their most diverse album. Destroy Erase Improve has lot of diversity, as well.
Doesn't matter which one, just Do Not Look Down!
I remember listening to this on lsa the precursor to lsd it felt like i was going through a thought loop of never ending lies that society created. lsa is crazier than lsd mentally
Grody
The technical metal Gods...
this is BRUTAL dont ya think
Set speed to 2 for a new version. It is a good experience, changes the dynamic!
+Fergal Quigley 1.25 sounds a little more realistic haha
At 1.25 speed it almost has a 'Do not look down' feel to it :D
@underscoreisnotvalid one of the baddest ass riffs ever!
but ya got to admit (CLOSED EYE VISUALS) is the best off this album along with Meshuggah
this album art is similar to the visuals i had on an 8th of mushrooms while laying on my back looking up unable to physically move
I fucking loooooove that melody at 1:06
@DeathMetalArchives hahaha been there lol. I dont think I could have comprehended this song lol
4:27 Fucking orgasmatic solo with badass riff
i know that speeding up slow music is wrong, but sometimes i do it just for curiosity. GUYS, THE FIRST RIFF AT 2x IS CRUSHER
so fucking good i love this
0:30 excuse me while I loop this part for 4 hours
@voidisall
Yes, thank you. Not sure why...but I like the original better. The remaster just sounds...well so ridiculous lol
closed eye visuals
Will there ever be a day when meshuggah will be defeated i think not! its foolish to try!
@DeathMetalArchives yeh and the cops were screaming SON, CAN YOU HEAR ME?! did the cops face look like the cover?
@Ghosy00 yes, maybe hardcore-thrash.
Jens in an elephant G-string in Long Beach CA. He had a clue lol
the intention ;)
Genesis of djent
@Restayvien Yeah, I usually feel like Zeus when i listen to Pineal Gland Optics
gr8 song. btw is the vocals hardcore-punk?
...my pleasure ;-)
(I uploaded this song precisely because you could only find the 'Nothing (Re-Issue)' version here on youtube)
@dujl mb you'll upload it
Thordendal sounds so much like Holdsworth in the solo!
techdeathcurator as always
ya
