You mean the trancy segments of Nothing? I admit they're probably one of my favorite Meshuggah things, but I guess that's what makes Nothing unique. I have my favorites among their albums, but I think each work has its own unique character. Otherwise, they'd just be releasing a bunch of copies of the same material. Thankfully, they actively play songs from Nothing live, since it's so well loved by the fans.
@@coolguy132435 yeah you are right. And probably because I am getting older and my ear is less discerning now, I don't find their newer material to be that groundbreaking anymore. The Chaosphere-Nothing-Catch33-Obzen era of Meshuggah is something that I come back to the most.
Why does every modern progressive metal band essentially base their whole musical output on a variation of this minute long segment? To think Meshuggah just casually composed it, put it in a song, spawned a whole new movement based on it, and never came back to develop it any further. Absolute chads.

@@Solterie1I see a lot of pretentious shit out there. Kinda feels like this comment might have been genuine. And for this piece of music, it kinda makes sense. If that’s what you want to do when you zone out, this is a pretty rad piece of music to do it to.
OK, so I'm not alone in my decade-long obsession with this outro. It's fun to play on drums, and is actually approachable in difficulty considering... well it's Tomas Haake.
@@JerkaBackbeat not necessarily. speaking for myself, i definitely would have reckognized it and would have respected you but i also would have thought to not disturb you because you just might be in some kind of happy place and wouldn't want to take you out of it. i usually am rather respectful to people so that's normal behaviour for me. so i guess what i want to say is, the lack of approach could mean that people suck but it could just as well mean the complete opposite
@@hazardeurThe fact that people do not recognize the riff is why they suck. How can you not recognize this masterful riff by the best metal band there is?
@@JerkaBackbeat how would you know if somebody reckognizes it or not, if they don't tell you? also, so simply not knowing it means they suck? you need to smarten up dude
This is one of the most emotionally impactful songs I know. This perfectly articulates the feeling of realizing your own mortality, which is what the song is about lyrically.
When Meshuggah goes for a more melodic sound, it is INTENSE. The outro to stifled is a good example of how beautiful they can make ambient music, and theres also a section on Catch 33 where they do something similar to this song's outro. Its around 2:56 on the track In Death - Is Death.
I didn't hear this song until I was 30, but it makes me feel like I'm about 10 years old. Invokes memories of riding my bike around the neighborhood, playing in the woods, staying up late and having Halo LAN parties. Feels like happiness, feels like peace. I miss those feelings so much.
THANKS A LOT... now I have the visual of a pack of 10 year olds riding bmx bikes around listening to Meshuggah and I feel like my childhood is now just not that special anymore... :P
there is something so genuinely beautiful about those last 2 fucking minutes, man. it completely surpasses just being music and becomes a gnawing feeling of transcendence beyond what is known, i am so fucking blown away by how peerless Meshuggah is when it comes to consistency of being at the absolute top of the game
Imagine this, You go to see them live, and their encore is this played through & the ending for 20 minutes I mean is there anything more saint on this earth?
It's hard to say no when you've got a gun to my head by Thirty Called Arson. Brilliant non-4/4 breakdown outro, but it's the random melodic part at 28 seconds which is magical. Detox by Strapping Young Lad C.S. Lucky-One by Hopesfall I Don't Need This by The Sawtooth Grin ...is this a compromise by Haste Man the ramparts by Botch Memphis will be laid to waste by Norma Jean Weights by Everything Everything. Not metal, but still an awesome outro David De La Hoz by The Chariot. There are probably loads more, but I had a lot of fun compiling this. Hope you get something good out of it.
the ends of "the lotus eaters" by nevermore. or the titel track of that abum. or basically any song of the album. it also trumps any of the suggestions below by a mile, ,that's how good it is
The one time I can think of in the modern Meshuggah period when they actually play around using chords in an actual major-derived scale (it’s a minor mode, Dorian).
I'm picturing the guitar solo as a Dog from the future who'd never have the ability to master the art of dialoguing with human with words but instead learned how to perfectly transcript its emotions through the notes of its guitar. It's a Cane Corso doggo breed as I see it. Fan since 1990.
Jens Kidman in Meshuggah performance of "Pulling Straws at Random" from their re-issued album "Nothing." The video can be found on the DVD portion of the re-release of "Nothing." and online at 4:34. it's exactly that
Usually Meshuggah is absolutely brutal. Crushing. The weight of the universe rearranging your atoms into a condensed mush. This is one of the truly transcendent moments of Meshuggah where they made something that’s just beautiful. Hopeful even. One of the most incredible pieces they’ve made. It’s still heavy as fuck, but it’s absolutely beautiful. And it sounds just as good with an acoustic guitar, or trombone even. One of my top 5 Meshuggah songs.
I always thought this song should have been the last song on the album, because it sounds like the end of all things. It would have been the perfect closer.
I always listen to this song at least once everyday and that last part always gets me through the hard shit of the day, imagine how i feel with 3h of it. Thank you so much for this...
It has always made me feel about my favorite band ever : MAGMA from france. I’ve read somewhere that the musicians from Meshuggah were also huge fans of this band. Love the nether ending loop of this mystical part. When something is so good and inspired, you don’t want it to stop. Cheers for the weird idea.
Me watching this video for the 87.492th time. I'm pretty sure I'm the single individual that listened the most to this in the whole world! Cheers amico mio, grazie per questa perla!
Ok, but if I were in Meshuggah, I would've done this one day at practice. Imagine the vibe. Fredrik doing different things in the solo each go around, Tomas adding in fills and chops where he feels like it, maybe Dick do something cool, Marten doing a solo. The vibe is so good for it all
This is the soundtrack you listen to while driving down a road into a distant mountain range that doesn't seem to come any nearer to you as time progresses. It's six pm on a sunny summer day, still warm but sweet relieve from the burning midday heat and you may wonder what will happen. Will you arrive at that mountain range before nightfall? Will you see any other traffic on this lonesome road in the next hour? Maybe there's a gasoline station behind that hill? In reality, you don't care. You don't care at all. You just drive down this road and listen to the Straws Pulled At Random outro for 3 hours and life is fine. Everything will probably work out in some way.
Its a snowy thursday evening in the land of Meshuggah. RUclips gives me this while Im making the dishes. Give me so good vibes I will go to my drums and just jam along. Thank you Riccardo!
I have listened to this daily. Sometimes twice. It's perfect for doing chores and studying. But as I slowly descend into my shugah madness, I think I prefer everything before obzen tbh. Least as of now
this is prolly what Thanos felt after he decimated half of all living life, sitting gon the step at his garden, looking at the sun, breathing the air of his success
It's official, the algorythm has read my mind in ways that I was completely ignorant existed. The fact that someone actually came up with it should surprise me, but the sheer amount of coments in this and likes per comments is staggering
the outro is gorgeous and deep! there is something about tuning half step down. idk what the fuck it is but its eternal once you hit that sound! thank you!
Listened to this whilst going through hip replacement surgery... Now that I need the other hip done, can go through this masterpiece again. I thank you so much for this!
Man I’ve liked meshuggah since destroy erase improve but I had missed this part, never listened super hard to all of nothing. It’s like sweet nu metal drama run through the machine, stuff that makes your soul soar high
Incredible! A whole group of people who also adore this passage, and believe Meshuggah should've pursued this style more! We need to send them the link so they can see all the love that this bit got. Let's make our voices heard 😆
It is strange how Meshuggah never explored this aspect of their music ever again. This is one of my constants
They really should make an album that goes deeper in that direction
There's a 1hr loop of the intro to They Move Below. It kinda has a similar ethereal thing going.

This is the only time they’ve ever hand delivered us the zen. All the other songs make ya dig for it.
Really enjoy this side of them though.

@@shizzlepecks that gives me a reason to check more of their stuff out! I've heard one of their albums so far
I get a slightly similar vibe from Karmanjakah, it's beautiful prog metal.

This is like the opposite of 9/11

I loled,but honestly the imagery i have always had of this part is a plane slowly descending through the clouds with a sunset in the background XD

Reported. Too short.

Yeah this is one of a few Meshuggah songs I'll touch. Perpetual Black Second has been extremely fun as well.
do you play it proper with the hi hats going and ghost notes?

glad i'm not crazy thinking it sounded bad even for youtube

Thanks for sharing. I have generally avoided Meshuggah because of their screaming, but these songs have some of the most incredible riffs! Love it

I wholeheartedly share the sentiment and I also need your weed guy's number.
This suddenly became the hardest song in the world to play
Imagine this, You go to see them live, and their encore is this played through & the ending for 20 minutes
I mean is there anything more saint on this earth?
Meshugah inspired me to get a 5 string .absolutely legendary man
I've always wanted straws pulled at random to play as they lower my casket into the ground. This is the version that will play at the after party.
Glad to see that there are many people having a strong conection with this passage, it is beyond words... Thx for this 🙌
The perfect track for drum practice!
This is the musical equivalent of gazing a starry sky for hours thinking on the infinite.
This is their ballad ❤
Thank you so much for contributing to make this world a better place everyday.

One of the most iconic sections of music in history, this will be played at my funeral.
this and the end of Floods from Pantera are two of my favorite beautiful heavy metal song endings. would love more suggestions
Aspiration by After the Burial gives off a similar beautiful/melancholic vibe, in everything but the outro
It's hard to say no when you've got a gun to my head by Thirty Called Arson. Brilliant non-4/4 breakdown outro, but it's the random melodic part at 28 seconds which is magical.

Everyone wanted this but were too afraid to ask
Even just one repeat of the last part is a beautiful gift for my soul.. but here I am, 2.5 hours in, preparing for transcendence..
