      Yes, looks awesome. Especially at the beginning. There are several possible headbang-rhythms in most riffs of the song - so everyone can choose his favorite :)
      Most people choose the classic "Slow Jens Style headbang" because he can not be "wrong". ^^

    I saw these guys play in SF a few years back. The drummer from my band insisted I come with him. My mind was thrown through a loop. I really had no idea what to expect. Half way through the set I went into what I could best describe as a trance like state. I started to think about things that normally never would enter my brain. I had this vision that time is a lot like the inside of a coax cable (one large cable with multiple cables inside of it all working together but on different information paths). I then started thinking about time rifts and portals. I suddenly felt connected to a different reality, not ours. The heaviness, the lights and energy. Still to this day I've never had an experience quite like that.

    All joking aside, this album capper from the very important obZen record is a real artist's masterpiece. This is Meshuggah in 100% full. Like, other artists are not necessarily writing music that is this unique and this deep in meaning. Ive often oddly referred to some of Meshuggah's riffs as "serious". This is an example of a "serious" songs. These are not easy or obvious polyrhythms. But they are not just randomly complex either. There's great intent and meaning behind this kind of songwriting
    Moreover, it is just distinctly recognizable as Meshuggah. There are some riffs in this song i just cannot get over. Like even by Meshuggah standard they are some of the best polyrhythms ever in history. They're fucking soaked dripping in flavor. Fucking Fredrik and Marten, Tomas, Jens and Dick. They are fucking legendary. Thank you for this music, seriously, from the bottom of my heart.

    Only fans of Meshuggah or similar music will ever understand what orgasmic feeling this song is able to create. How easy trance overwhelmes you when standing in front row. When you want to dance, move and scream, but all you can do is widen your eyes and wallow in a different world while your body is in complete paralysis. Undescribable. Best song ever! Though I have to admit this video cannot quite catch that way of emotion. You simply have to BE there.

      I understand that exact face. Saw Meshuggah last year and they seriously put you in a trance like state of intense, almost tribal focus on the beat. My shoes were weighed down with mud, so I couldn't really dance or jump around, so I just rocked back and forth.

    I was a dedicated metal head for nearly a decade, then I burnt out hard on the whole genre. Couldn't listen to anything, hard or soft metal, without getting instantly bored.
    Still, this band holds my attention. Each song is a cataclysm, each song sounds like they don't fuck around. And this song in particular, well, I'm sure it's a song Cthulu would play on his wedding.

      I did, but sadly, the vocals and overall instrumental tone and concept, while certainly amazingly executed, didn't really click with me. I guess Meshuggah's analytical, groove-oriented formula of (simple song + complex rhythm) just works better for me. I'm looking forward to Fredriks next solo LP though, especially since he grew so much as a musician.

    Listen to the hidden tune
    The essence of lies in note defined
    As we dance to the dissonant sway
    The choreography refined
    Will subdued and shackled
    Reason washed aside
    Pledging our love to the chains
    Our ignorance ever amplified
    Blooded hands lead the waltz
    We're trapped in the out of tune swirl
    Still we set the show on continue mode
    And dance to a discordant system
    We accept the nails we're fed
    Lies sharpened to bleed us silent
    Muted from the pains
    Defiance employed in vain
    Any attempts to leave the dance
    Invisibly suppressed
    Questions unasked, we learn the steps
    Eyes shut like all the rest
    Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd
    Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust
    Dominated, compliant and deceptable
    Confident that we matter, we don't see that we're but dust
    Committed to a lie we cannot see, cannot know nor comprehend
    We're all asinine drones kept in the dark, kept in line
    Confined, bereft of reason
    Withering in toxicity
    The deadly fumes deceit
    And we all reek of complicity
    Humbled, brought to our knees
    By the weight of our own guilt
    Our innocent ways the catalyst
    To injustice and inhumanity
    We dance, to appease
    Compete in stupidity
    Obscured faces file our points
    Numbers fed to the machine
    Still we stand in line for the next show
    The human spine liquefied
    What are we, but stupefied
    Dancers to a discordant system
    We believe, so we're misled
    We assume, so we're played
    We confide, so we're deceived
    We trust, so we're betrayed

I only got kick in the head once from some crowd surfing, and only elbowed someone in the face (totally accidentally of course). But the thing that really stuck me about the music...as side from it's heaviness was it's trace effect. I was spaced out high (natural, no drugs) for at least 24 hours after the show. Meshuggah is trance music, metal of course, but trance music.
