You should give Meshuggah another chance too. Destroy Esase Improve and Nothing are phenomenal. Obzen is great too, but I feel like Bleed has kind of overshadowed that album.

to be honest, they kinda just aren't my vibe. i feel they peaked with that "I" track and that's all I have any interest in. and i liked Chaosphere more than all those albums you mentioned.

Fair enough, they're definitely not for everyone.

But DTGL really was the game changer. In Regards To Myself and the singles dominated the times. [2]



TCOS doesn't eve sound like the same band as DTGL. this is my point. it was a MASSIVE upgrade and put them in the tier with Lost and DIsambig to me

@emim: it's mostly just that blank, cold, emotionally vacant feeling meshuggah gives me that's just like "yeaaaah i can live without this"

and ya the difference is insane, i just tend to get in moods now where i'd rather jam TOCS for those infectious hooks, doesn't take away from how emotionally devastating this and Disambig are.

“Meshuggah's fuckin boring tho”



prob the underlying reason why I may not like you lol jk but J can get how some people dropped off after ‘I’. I know some friends who did. Boring they are

not.

people who dropped off after I are weird considering literally everything they released afterwards is better

i just kinda don't vibe with the super cold, emotionless take they have on music, it just doesn't provide the right atmosphere to what i like. maybe if i get into a slump where all i want is to just feel numb to everything they'll click, i dunno. they're very much a "specific kind of mood" band. it all kinda sounds hollow, vacant, numb, nothing matters but the rhythms type of shit.

"idk how someone can listen to "I" and say Meshuggah doesn't make them feel anything"

kind of how i feel with a lot of the records i like that people claim sound "forced" and "parodic" but they move me in various ways.

a lot of records you dig that i don't just come across as sort of predictably amateurish as far as being emotive. the big soaring choruses (those vocals!), the cheesy background string arrangements, the unneeded weak soft sections. oil and water with metal/hardcore imo



as far as heavy music goes, you seem to value emotional connection whereas i more often seek inventive aggression. the complaint that Meshuggah is emotionally cold is sort of odd considering their goal is to crumple the sun

i can see what you mean but on the other hand it's like, give me all the overwrought melodrama i can get most times

"as far as heavy music goes, you seem to value emotional connection whereas i more often seek inventive aggression." pretty much, not the same genre necessarily but it's part of why bands like my chemical romance, the used, etc. always seem to find their way on top of my lists

can we all collectively agree that It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door is one of the best songs ever (i know it's not related to DTGL, whatever)
