The Meshuggah Thread

[pinback]

In a drunken stupor I had Catch-33 sent to my mother, with the warning to never actually play it.

She got it, put the top down on the mustang convertible, and blasted it all around Conway, SC. She said she got thumbs up from a bunch of teenagers driving past.

She enjoyed that greatly, and then kindly asked me if there were more than those two notes.

I'm embarrassed by the whole thing, but mom's kinda cool, ya?

Here is "Flight of Reason", which is actually just a guy in his bedroom, doing a passable Meshuggah ripoff:

And by passable I mean better than anyone I've heard so far:

Did you find this while searching for "Meshuggah clones" or "sugartits"?

A little from column A...

My drum program has a bunch of Meshuggah full song drum tracks in it. I thought it would be fun to take those drum tracks and write new music to the drums and nobody would be the wiser. Then I listened to them. Nobody can write music to this non-sense!!!!

Here is my list of all Meshuggah albums, ranked from most-liked to least-liked. Note: I think they are all great. I still haven't hardly listened to anything else since I discovered them. Better late than never.

These opinions are awesome, so think twice before disagreeing:

1. Nothing
2. Catch-33
3. Chaosphere
4. Koloss
5. Obzen
6. I
7. Destroy Erase Improve
8. None
9. Contradictions Collapse

Thank you.

Quick update. Coming up on the first anniversary of this thread and I still haven't listened to much else since other than Meshuggah albums over and over.

I've gotten into the whole "djent" scene and have even enjoyed quite a bit of it.

Then after two or three tracks I flip on ObZen again or whatever.

For me, they broke music. I'm almost glad I just discovered them last year otherwise I wouldn't have listened to anything else for the last 20 years.
