And just remember this song is from like '95. They were (and still are) about 15 years ahead of their time. They haven't made a bad album since. One hint is that fans all will say a different album is the best.
This is the album when Meshuggah started to find their sound. It's an amazing album but for me it was the albums after this that really hooked me. One of my favorite bands of all time. They simply don't make bad songs.
I just like to point out that there’s an acoustic version called Futile Bread Machine.
Ah yeah the campfire version haha
100% you have to listen to "Dancers to a discordant system" by Meshuggah! A good tip with the drums is that they are 90% of the time in 4/4. You can usually follow the symbols to find the rhythm rather than the bass drum most times. This song is another thing altogether though. It's 4/4 but in double time so it seems so much more complex than it is. Still insanely difficult though!
Second this. Their magnum opus song and my favorite metal song of all time
Oh man this album changed my life as a kid, thanks to my mother getting me into it. Crazy to think it was over 25 years ago!!
People might not like to hear it, but this is their best and most consistent album.
Theres a few videos out there that can help assist in finding the groove of Meshuggah (Yogev Gabay has a series about meshuggah) my biggest suggestion is to listen for a 4/4 rock beat behind the chaos, its rarely easy to hear at first but is almost always present in some form or another. Most of the riffs will have 2 guitars the bass and the bass drum playing all at the same notes (rhythmically speaking). Normally these will be in odd "signatures" that clash against the 4/4 of the song structure (meaning 16 bars in the riff might change even if the riff was only mid way through its loop) it might sound super jarring and out of place unless you managed to hear the 4/4 pulse under the chaos.
Here's what I suggest as a guide for Meshuggah. Might be very different from others but here's my 2cents.
Contradictions Collapse:
Not missing anything if you skip, generic thrash metal with a Jens sounding like a ripoff of James From Metallica lol. If you like thrash metal give the album a listen.
None:
Humiliative is a must, it's the opening track and the best imo. You'll recognize their sound from 94' as uniquely Meshuggah.
Destroy Erase Improve:
Future Breed Machine, Soul Burn, Vanished and Sublevels are musts from this album.
Chaosphere:
Concatenation and New Millennium Cyanide Christ.
Concatenation being the opening track sets the tone of the album well. It's chaotic and manic.
Nothing:
Front to back album listen is the best for this one first time. And for the love of god listen to the original yellow album first and not the remaster blue album, it's okay but the original is better for first listen.
I:
Just do it.
Catch Thirty Three:
This is one of those where the tracks just run into each other so it's one long ass track essentially, it's worth the entire listen but if you're not into that at least listen to the In Death - Is Life and In Death - Is Death combo as those are not to be missed.
Obzen:
Like Nothing, this is a front to back listen album. Every track is amazing.
Koloss:
My favorite album and another front to back listen album. Every track is an absolute banger. Fuck I love this album.
The Violent Sleep of Reason:
Clockworks, Violent Sleep of Reason and Our Rage Won't Die are the musts here with an optional Born in Dissonance if you like your brain being fucked with more than the usual Meshuggah track. It's a fun one.
Immutable:
Broken Cog into The Abysmal Eye live from the latest tour run is insane. It's their concert opener and should be seen. Phantoms and Ligature Marks are also good ones to listen to from this album.
If you have the time and interest in the band I highly suggest a full discography listen but that's quite a time commitment.
yes , starting from the (almost) beginning is a good idea ,love this track 'cause you hear the thrash metal background but also what will make Meshuggah's sound later ( the jazzy bits , breakdowns ...) - ok , next , you should react to "new millenium cyanide christ" , still pretty simple and catchy track with great lyrics , amazing outro and the cheapiest and funniest video they ever made !!! .....I'll catch you on the tourbus 🤘
Yes, please do this one!
My favorite Meshuggah song 🥰
If you haven't yet, please listen to all of Destroy Erase and Improve. Heavy album.
Nuclear Petunia
Oh, and just for the fun of it, listen and watch them perform this same song 28 (!) years later: ruclips.net/video/xtju8pwSGMA/видео.html
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
jazzy eh, give Allan Holdsworth a listen you will definitely hear a comparison of his works and Mehuggah's
Phantoms by meshuggah next, just trust me. Just trust me lady 🤘🏻
An underappreciated band! They weren't appreciated in the UK until Black Sabbath got them a free slot on Download Fest. Now I see why Black Sabbath had to convince us LOL, tho still not one of my top metal bands but Meshuggah is not an artist whose style changes with every album like Sigh, nor do they exist in a completely static artistic realm like Bolt Thrower. In each sequential album there is a change; albeit one a great deal more subtle than in most artists. Play any two Meshuggah albums side-by-side and you'll likely only first hear the erratic, piledriving guitar chugs and barking vocals, and probably for the few listens after that. And there are people that find great joy merely in those barest of techniques that the band uses, merely enjoying the odd time signatured pummeling that the band delights in. To those who listen a bit more closely, or to those more versed in the band's music, however, more details are collected: the delicate shifts of mood, texture or atmosphere, the subtle, polyrhythmic dance, where instruments play along out of time for some strange number of measures before falling like a perfect hammer into the lockstep rhythm of the section's beginning. But on that fall, there might be something new; a change in cymbal, a minimalist, sinuous lead, a few extra scattered beats placed ever so precisely in the morass of thick, monstrously stormy riffs. And it is indeed a set of features and emphases that many simply cannot appreciate: these are merely not factors that a large number of people can truly find enjoyable. But for those that do love the machinelike assault of this artist, there's not one that does the style better. 'Destroy Erase Improve' is, at least in my estimation, Meshuggah's greatest work. On their earliest works, Meshuggah had resembled an extremely developed, apocalyptic form of thrash metal; after this album, on 'Chaosphere', the technical and industrial elements of the band came to dominate their style, essentially completely excising any of their identifiable thrash metal past. The material on 'Destroy Erase Improve', however, forms the bridge between their two styles, with more of the traditional song structures and identifiably melodic riffs of thrash as well as the extremely technical aspects of their later works, and this marriage creates their best release, being both satisfyingly experimental and technical as well as grounded in perceptible song structures. Consider it the Meshuggah equivalent of Gorguts' 'From Wisdom To Hate', though unlike that album, Meshuggah's second LP can't be viewed as any sort of concession to the audience. The opener of this album shows why it's so crucial in Meshuggah's discography: 'Future Breed Machine', arguably THE Meshuggah song, is not only the band's perpetual closer to every live set, but practically the band's definitive musical mission statement. It is easily one of the finest songs the band has ever written, with each section being memorable despite the almost quintessentially unmemorable style that Meshuggah plays, at least to those more unfamiliar with the intricacies of their style. From the grinding machine-sound intro to the sudden burst of strobing searchlight lead over traditional Meshuggah mechanical devastation, then suddenly moving into a sudden post-thrash riff before the vocals begin, every second is completely memorable and completely perfectly designed. There are numerous high points beyond it, the most obvious of them all, though. 'Soul Burn' is a personal favorite, with its high-speed delivery and staggered, doubletracked vocal lines. 'Terminal Illusions' is possibly the most straightforward and aggressive track on the album, also notable for its surprisingly direct anti-religious theme as opposed to Meshuggah's typically abstract meditations. The very best on the album, however, would be 'Suffer In Truth', a track that's slower pace and pounding, martial performances create an even more ominous than normal atmosphere, especially when combined with its air-siren leads that circle ominously above the battlefield below like so many choppers. Experimentation is, as stated before, very readily present: mellow ambient instrumental 'Acrid Placidity' forms a well-placed intermission between two of the most aggressive tracks on the album. But the most obviously atypical track is probably closer 'Sublevels', which eschews most of the typical chug in favor of a more subtle, slowly descending fusion-influenced track, with drums, quiet guitar and spoken word vocals forming the body between occasional bursts of ferocious grinding. Some criticism could be leveled at perceived filler: 'Vanished' or 'Inside What's Within Behind' probably aren't as strictly necessary as the other tracks on the album, but I'd say they help establish a more solid bedrock for the music to build upon, with the more unique tracks building off the more 'standard' ones. No, 'Destroy Erase Improve' does not have the absolutely single-minded focus of essentially all of Meshuggah's other albums, but it is all the better for it: this is easily the most varied of all their albums, and also the one with the most unique songs, as opposed to later releases which generally feature about half excellence and half album expanders. And to be honest, the music here is simply a great deal more memorable than on most other Meshuggah CDs, with enough of their thrash roots to give the songs a more cohesive yet varied structure but still maintain the distinctive musical flavor of the band. If any Meshuggah album was to be described as 'essential', it would probably be this one, even for those who typically dislike the band. Destroy Erase Improve begins with one of the most cataclysmic songs Meshuggah have ever made, "Future Breed Machine". That first track sets the bar for the kind of pulse-pounding material on store in this album. Tension building and sudden shifts in tempo and tone are used in a way that keeps everything feeling energized and explosive. The snaking and complicated solos do a lot to impress and further accentuate the massive, destructive sound on display here. When you can understand enraged shouting, what he speaks is an intelligent mixture of cryptic metaphors, existentialism, and an interesting, albeit bizarre take on consciousness. It probably also helps that the main riffs to these songs are strong and do a lot to draw you into the pulse of Meshuggah's mechanized assault. Groovy tracks like "Beneath", "Inside What's Within Behind", and "Suffer in Truth" make the most of mixing their grooves with the impact of Kidman's roaring to accent points in the song where the energy is its highest. The way this is done is astonishing as every part of the music on this album does its part to maintain the pulse-pounding energy, while also being extremely catchy. The rhythms to these songs will be in my head for quite a while, and I'm quite happy to have them there. While Fear Factory incorporated electronic and industrial influence to represent a dehumanized world, Meshuggah developed their progressive attitude to analyze spiritual and social implications of a dehumanized world. Meshuggah's songwriting works within this limited framework and constantly experiments, as if wishing to escape the boundaries it has set for itself. And as expected from wanton experimentation, sometimes the band manages to create astonishingly clunky and odd polyrhythms that no sane person would try to put in a metal song. But hey, Meshuggah aren't sane, they're meshuggah! In general the songwriting is quite good here, though, and I again appreciate how the band spits at conventionality in so many different ways. They have written songs with only two or three notes. Zig-Zagged, though, because what they lack in complexity of melody, they make up for in complexity of rhythm - They've still got a handful of pretty melodic stuff though, standout examples include "Black Cathedral", "Dancers to a Discordant System" and the second half of "Straws Pulled at Random".
