You have no idea how right you are. My son had trouble sleeping as an infant/toddler…this song solved it. He would fall sound sleep to ‘I’ without fail. He’s now 19 and it’s still his favorite song.
Ditto! You should definitely check it out. I love Born In Dissonance as well. The lead guitarist also has an insane side project that kills - Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects.
Probably the craziest spot to start Meshuggah but there isn’t a single song not worth listening to, favorite band by an absolute long shot Catch 33 is my favorite thing they have written but Clockworks/Future Breed/Rational Gaze/Phantoms/Demiurge as single songs all are brilliant
Well, if your introduction to Meshuggah is "I" and you dig it you actually may call yourself a metal elitist after all 😂. It's absolutely not the easiest song in their repertoire but in a way it's a nice collage of everything they do. The fast, the slow, the groovy, the polyrhythmic, the melodic solo's, the 'broken ringtone" solo's. You can listen to, idk, Lorna Shore or Slaughter to Prevail but it doesn't get heavier than Meshuggah. There is an excellent live registration here on YT of their Bloodstock show last summer. 4K visuals and perfect audio. Singer still sings the same way after 35 years. He's 57 now. Suggested listening: Straws Pulled at Random Dancers to s Discordant System (whole ObZen album actually) Demiurg Rational Gaze Phantoms They Move Below Ligature Marks (these last three from their latest album) Or Future Breed Machine from '95 (they really were like 15 years ahead of their time) To name a few. Three decades of never disappointing music. Never a weak album.
The absolute deep end!!! LMAO this is good though. Definitely their most out there song. You should check out "Dancers to a discordant system" by Meshuggah. Definitely encapsulates the essence of their sound, also an amazing track as well!
oh man, you know what. I really love this record, one of my fav along with catch33 and I love hearing more opinions on how cool those albums but I would really like to thank you for those comments you made about the importance of being oneself and keeping the head up. this is just one of those night where you need that extra push to keep going thanks for being that nice person that you are, its both refreshing and heartwarming to get such cool words along with something as beautiful as this record stay as lovely and metal as you are right now
+1 sub !! I just found your channel with this video, and loved it. Your introduction made me push the like button directly. :) Please stay who you are and how you are. I can feel that you are a true human, a true music lover, and not one of these fake over react channel I'm tired to see. I can feel some empathy from you, and the world need more emphatic peoples. Thanks to be yourself man. I'm a big Meshuggah fan, and I loved your reaction. And bro, what a song to start with Meshuggah! It's a true experience and seeing you cranking and banging face exactly where and how I do myself at the same moment is just so nice!
I’ve never seen one of your videos before, but you earned a subscriber at 2:00. Hell yeah brother, keep true to yourself 💪 You’re making your own space on the platform, keep up the good work :)
There are a lot of great technicals in this one! Great riffs! This is the type of atmospheric music I listen to when I do work. Regarding your opener - I agree. People-pleasing can only go so far. You can be polite and respectful, bite your tongue when appropriate, or just walk away, but the bottom line is that you've got to be your authentic self. Otherwise, you are disrespecting yourself in order to fit in.
The start on this track was a bit chaotic, but once it got going, it was good. I like the way the slow brought in each of the different instruments. The bass line in this was killer.
My first listening to Meshuggah was when Catch 33 came out. Its similarly wild to "I", that album is very similar to "I" EP. Its also one large song but this time arbitrarily divided into sections. It took me a while to get into Meshuggah, I could only listen to them when I had special mood for it. But after couple of years I didnt needed that at all. And when Obzen came out I was ready for next portion of crazy music.
I recall seeing footage of the band when they were recording that chugging intro part. They had a piece of paper with a string of numbers written down so they could all play the same thing when recording their parts. It's a full minute and a half without a single consistent repeating pattern, and it's far from the only random part in the song. I'd highly recommend watching Yogev Gabay's rhythmic analysis of the song if you want to get nerdy with it. The drumcam of Tomas Haake playing "Bleed" live is an essential Meshuggah thing to see. The guy is a like an android with endless stamina.
Hell yeah dude! My first Meshuggah experience was Nothing in 05 or so, blew my mind. Still love that album. Rational Gaze and Straws Pulled at Random are great tracks off of that one.
Here's what I suggest as a guide for Meshuggah. Might be very different from others but here's my 2c. 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 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. (You did 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.
Hey, if you wanna dive deep, check out the band Intronaut. Extremely underrated band. A few songs I’d recommend: Killing Birds With Stones Fast Worms Sul Ponticello Cubensis The Literal Black Cloud Australopithecus Gleamer
You haven't heard much of Meshuggah before and you started with "I"? 😮 That's not what I usually see out there 😂 but I'm happy you finally get to react to these fucking legends! ❤ But, please, don't EVER do things just bc people requested it. We enjoy being here bc you are who YOU ARE.
I only like I and Nothing. I know they are super talented but the monotonous vocals just get on my nerves, but the whole point of Meshuggah is to be mechanical so it wouldn't make sense to do other kinds of vocals
@@Brendo2386 i think the guitar lines and time signatures are so hectic, you need the basic 4/4 on the hihats and a similar theme on the vocals so it's not just complete chaos to the average listener lol
This is probably as heavy and angry as Swedish metal can be. LOL. I saw them live at a local festival in my hometown Gävle, 2012, and at Sweden Rock Festival 2018. They totally blew me away (literally). ;)
I had a Line 6 spider 3 too haha. Meshuggah are boss, go see them live, you'll be transfixed, you'll zone in, they are more than just music.They are also one of the tightest live bands I've ever seen.
Great reaction and nice job to promote underrated artists and their songs. I started to enjoy Meshuggah after listening to this song and Clockworks. Ive know these guys for quite some time, but the songs never gets into me, specially Bleedm that is a great song, but I found very boring the first times I listened. After this song ''I '' I quite enjoy everthing they make. Its complex, dark, and fun to listen, really an experience.
Well it should be something I don't like.. But I didn't hate it. Something about that slow Burn chug.. a lot of the ambient parts i grooved with.. many interesting things in the song. ❤ and ✌️
you're legend when you started with this one.💯🔥 Bro you gotta check out Nothing album. Great starting grooving album. Also Chaosphere (really trashy sound) and Catch33 (My favorite) is great for continuing in Meshuggah journey. Great reaction. I appreciate that you going to dive more into Meshuggah. Not so many channels did. 🙌🔥
Hey i love your topic about discovering new music and not doing the same stuff as everyone else. I been wanting to do a reaction channel myself doing the same thing.. im just too lazy 😅.. Would you mind reacting to a band named Siebenburgen?? They're swedish black metal that focuses on Vampyric topics and such, They're my favorite band next to meshuggah and they're honestly abit different than the other black metal bands, to an extent. I recommend starting with their 1st track Vampyria, and branching from their
Thanks dude! Yea, I have a different perspective when it comes to what im doing. Most creators just want your views and subs. Also that band sounds amazing! I will check em out.
I'd realy like to see you react to mantar - odysseus! A two man Band from Germany. They just wanted to do an Demo album an one Concert. But that Demo got more Attention. So Visions Magazine put them in the top 66 Debutalbums of the century
If you want to react to a highly different and obscure song, that nobody that I know have reacted to, try the Brazilian band El Efecto and their song O Drama Da Humana Manada (2018)...a melting pot of Prog Rock, Samba(!!) and everything in between. But be not mistaken, they're nothing like Sepultura. For me, it is probably the best song of this century. You won't regret it!
Bro I love this EP🔥👌 It’s like an alien transmission from another planet lol🔥🔥🔥🔥 The album after, Catch 33, is technically one 47 something minute song, but they decided to break it up into separate tracks so it’d be easy to skip through🙂 I highly recommend checking that one out too😉
Whatever you do, do NOT make the same mistake and react to the Bleed official music video. It’s edited for TV and cuts off like the entire second half of the fucking song. The best parts.
I won't necessarily recommend any particular song but I will say this... If you listen to Bleed, for the love of God, please don't react to the music video. The video is only half the song and leaves out the best parts.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody i would recommend the album nothing because their sound onwards sound more similar to that, earlier than that they have a more Thrashy/Progresive crazy sound,
You're only the second person I've seen react to this one ever. Don't think it's the right introduction to Meshuggah, it's a "trial by fire" as they say...
![Meshuggah - "I" | I get SLAMMED for 21 minutes straight [REACTION + REVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MemAa5EFOCc/mqdefault.jpg)
Meshuggah is honestly so dark and heavy that it weirdly flips to being calming and trance like.
You have no idea how right you are. My son had trouble sleeping as an infant/toddler…this song solved it. He would fall sound sleep to ‘I’ without fail. He’s now 19 and it’s still his favorite song.
FACTS. I can meditate with Meshuggah.
@@muchidromedary.7368 that's wild!!
Dancers to a Discordant System- probably one of their best songs
Probably?
Their best.
Ditto! You should definitely check it out. I love Born In Dissonance as well. The lead guitarist also has an insane side project that kills - Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects.
@@diablovarulf6568 combustion and Future Breed Machine (Mayhem version) as well
What a song to start with! Too many good songs to list but check out New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Clockworks, Bleed or Demiurge.
And abysmal eye
@@Godless-Being agreed, such a good song!
Swarm is one of the most underrated Meshuggah tracks
Clockworks is fucking nuts!! You should react to Tomas Haake's drum cam
Probably the craziest spot to start Meshuggah but there isn’t a single song not worth listening to, favorite band by an absolute long shot Catch 33 is my favorite thing they have written but Clockworks/Future Breed/Rational Gaze/Phantoms/Demiurge as single songs all are brilliant
Well, if your introduction to Meshuggah is "I" and you dig it you actually may call yourself a metal elitist after all 😂.
It's absolutely not the easiest song in their repertoire but in a way it's a nice collage of everything they do. The fast, the slow, the groovy, the polyrhythmic, the melodic solo's, the 'broken ringtone" solo's.
You can listen to, idk, Lorna Shore or Slaughter to Prevail but it doesn't get heavier than Meshuggah.
There is an excellent live registration here on YT of their Bloodstock show last summer. 4K visuals and perfect audio. Singer still sings the same way after 35 years. He's 57 now.
Suggested listening:
Straws Pulled at Random
Dancers to s Discordant System (whole ObZen album actually)
Demiurg
Rational Gaze
Phantoms
They Move Below
Ligature Marks (these last three from their latest album)
Or Future Breed Machine from '95 (they really were like 15 years ahead of their time)
To name a few. Three decades of never disappointing music. Never a weak album.
You being real and having the urge to find good music is what makes your channel great.
The absolute deep end!!! LMAO this is good though. Definitely their most out there song. You should check out "Dancers to a discordant system" by Meshuggah. Definitely encapsulates the essence of their sound, also an amazing track as well!

That 15:00 drop lol “oh Fuck!” I always think imagine people who listen to this and end up turning it off before the back half lol
Still one of the most neck breaking riffs they have ever concieved. It grooves SO hard.
This riff sounds like giant locomotive plowing trough cities and everything in high speed. Nothing can stop it.
Hell yeah dude! My first Meshuggah experience was Nothing in 05 or so, blew my mind. Still love that album. Rational Gaze and Straws Pulled at Random are great tracks off of that one.

You would probably like their album Catch thirty three, somewhat similar to I in certain ways but more stretched out

Complex in different ways. Tool is more about layers and composition while meshuggah is more about the individual riffs. Both are killer bands tho.
