03.06.18 | I know 10 is a weird choice... I just love the utter brutality of that track though. Also, Ritual is incredibly underrated as far as early 'Shuggah goes |
artiswar
03.06.18 | The song is called The Demon's Name Is Surveillance and I'm glad to see it on here. It's pretty underrated but I love that one. I actually never heard Rare Trax, in fact I didn't realize it existed, so thanks. |

03.06.18 | 8 is 1 |

03.06.18 | @Artiswar: I can't believe I fucked that up, lol. Anyway yeah, it's a great track. I didn't like Koloss too much as a whole when it originally came out, but I might have to revisit it and see if my mind changes |
Get Low
03.06.18 | Any particular reason why you chose Nebulous from the original Nothing album over the re-release? |
Koris
03.06.18 | I was just picking the Nothing entry that was the default, honestly. I actually haven't listened to the re-release version of Nothing yet |
Get Low
03.06.18 | Oh, okay. I was just curious because I think some of the songs sound better on the original anyway. |
artiswar
03.06.18 | Koloss is pretty much my #1 Meshuggah on most days. I would urge you to revisit it for sure. And the remaster of Nothing is kolossal... the hell are you doing with your life?? Though admittedly the new blue artwork sucks, the original looks wayyy better. |
Koris
03.06.18 | I just kinda assumed the re-release would sound like the original for the most part... I'll have to get on that |
Koris
03.06.18 | I was also really close to putting Rational Gaze on this list because of both the fantastic main riff and the hypnotic leads in the middle. Consider that number 11 I guess |
artiswar
03.06.18 | It's a lot bassier. I haven't listened to the original in years, the remaster just sounds huge. I've heard people say some songs sound better on the original and I'm a bit curious about that. |
artiswar
03.06.18 | Rational Gaze is like my least fav on Nothing tbh. The main riff is fantastic but the whole middle part of the song is kind of weak to me. I find most of their other songs better. Also there's a suspicious lack of TVSOR on both lists... hmmm... |
BlackwaterPork
03.06.18 | Rational gaze is awesome wtf |
CalculatingInfinity
03.06.18 | Get on the remaster ASAP. |
artiswar
03.06.18 | I know it's a fan favourite but it's one of their weaker songs to me. Sorry to hurt your feelings Pork. |
Madbutcher3
03.06.18 | Erroneous Manipulation is the secret top 10 pick |
DungeonBoy
03.06.18 | The entire NONE EP is my favorite Meshuggah, but Destroy Erase Improve isn't far behind. I could never really get into new Meshuggah. It's too mechanical, which I know is what they are going for, but I prefer their thrashier blend of technical metal. |

03.06.18 | The mouth licking what you've bled... |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.06.18 | Wait I'm gonna do mine
This list speaks to me in ways you can't even fathom |
Relinquished
03.06.18 | hard props for Ritual and War |
Yotimi
03.06.18 | yeah love Ritual, but it's on their None EP isn't it? |
Relinquished
03.06.18 | it is
love the AiC vibe it gives |
DungeonBoy
03.06.18 | Yeah totally, but I think it pales in comparison to the other 3 tracks on that EP. Not my list not my problem |
Yotimi
03.06.18 | whole EP is great really |
Yotimi
03.06.18 | and I agree with your comment above on new Meshuggah |
Koris
03.06.18 | "yeah love Ritual, but it's on their None EP isn't it?"
It's on both None and the deluxe edition of Contradictions Collapse. I love the way the mechanical and melodic elements combine in that track... and the AiC comparison is quite warranted too. Lots of "Would" influence in that intro |
chemicalmarriage
03.07.18 | best of the 3 lists |
artiswar
03.07.18 | Still no one will bring TVSOR into the discussion. Sweet vindication. |
BurnMyThighs
03.07.18 | Agreed chemical. Easily. |
Koris
03.07.18 | Thanks guys :] |
BurnMyThighs
03.09.18 | Good list Soccer. |
Koris
03.11.18 | thanks yo :] |
Koris
01.28.22 | I should probably update this at some point with my current picks |
evilford
01.28.22 | Nice to see demon's name up here |
Koris
01.28.22 | Yeah, that one would probably still be in my top 10 |
BigPleb
01.28.22 | War is crazy. |
DType
01.28.22 | War is sick yeah, i often forget it exists but it pummels for sure |
YoYoMancuso
01.28.22 | solid picks, love to see a fellow Combustion appreciator |
