TheAntichrist: let's settle the meshuggah debate

TheAntichrist 12.12.24	don't tell me this is already a thread cus i refuse to believe it since i also deny god being real
NexCeleris 12.12.24	This is a People's Front of Judea vs Judean People's Front kind of situation. Blue will probably get more votes.
Hawks 12.13.24	Men
Koris 12.13.24	Blue all the way!
FrozenFirebug 12.13.24	the LORD gave me ears for which to hear that orange has better structure and tone and that everything which made it interesting amongst a bland distilled meandering discography was castrated by blue and said neutering made it stupid and fat like a grainfed housecat instead of a lean mean lion🙏
Futures 12.13.24	orange army
JeetJeet 12.13.24	Blue gang all day
Relinquished 12.13.24	DEI
evilford 12.13.24	Blue gang all day [2]
YoYoMancuso 12.13.24	there's a version online that is blue with orange drums and it's the definitive version
TheAntichrist 12.13.24	@yoyo link it
SomeCallMeTim 12.13.24	Blue
CottonSalad 12.13.24	Bluuuuuueeeeeee
Hyperion1001 12.13.24	orange forever
Colton 12.13.24	my coworker told me meshuggah is the most inventive metal band and some people can't understand their music because of how unpredictable and unique it is
ToSmokMuzyki 12.13.24	i like the blue one it looks like obelisk the tormentor
AlexKzillion 12.13.24	orange
Jurtz 12.13.24	orange [2]
Pikazilla 12.13.24	blue all the way
BitterJalapenoJr 12.13.24	Bloo
Assemblage 12.13.24	Bluuuuuuuuuuue
VicariousIntent 12.13.24	Orange definitely. But I'd love to hear that mix that YoYo mentioned
YoYoMancuso 12.13.24	"@yoyo link it" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJVguvIkBmRKs8RhtvIDu0I0fcvYc1uF9 here is the playlist; it does not contain Obsidian because of how different the track lengths are between versions
SomeCallMeTim 12.13.24	yeah the youtube orange/blue mix is top for sure
Tundra 12.13.24	Blue
Titan 12.13.24	been doing 2.......i see i have to try 1
DarkSideOfLucca 12.13.24	Ugh this is so fucking hard because parts of the blue are better when they sound chunkier, but so much of the energy of orange is lost I might have to go with Orange overall, but it seriously depends on what part of what song
TheAntichrist 12.13.24	@yoyo it's definitely better than pure blue, i'll grant that \m/
Koris 12.13.24	Damn, it's actually a pretty tight race so far
KjSwantko 12.13.24	Blue by far.
Futures 12.13.24	M E N S H U G G A H
BAT 12.13.24	orange, blue is technically heavier but orange has a brightness to the guitar tone that makes it stand out, just cuts thru the mix better. the re-release sounds closer to a late 2000s metal album, which has its perks of being pretty heavy but more grided/mechanical[which works well for a band like meshuggah]. i did torrent drumkit from hell back when i was in highschool and it's still weird for me to hear those samples pop up on albums here and there lol
DType 12.14.24	Orange all the way
KjSwantko 12.14.24	Genuinely surprised how many people prefer orange. I thought blue would be nearly unanimous.
Titan 12.14.24	im going orange
artiswar 12.14.24	well this isn't very conclusive at all
TheAntichrist 12.14.24	i'm surprised by the results so far too tbh
artiswar 12.15.24	I was going to go blue but y'all are making me second-guess now...
Jurtz 12.30.24	11 votes vs. 11 votes
onionbubs 12.30.24	blue
BenThatsMyJamin 12.30.24	Orange easily
SomeCallMeTim 12.30.24	now 12 v 12 damn
DType 12.31.24	"Genuinely surprised how many people prefer orange. I thought blue would be nearly unanimous." You just don't fuck Haake's drums and expect that everyone is going to be ok with it
Jurtz 12.31.24	Yeah the blue version sounds so muffled in comparison to orange. Also, I prefer real drums.
NexCeleris 12.31.24	O R A N G E
Jurtz 12.31.24	Based and Meshuggah-pilled
Motiv3 12.31.24	ORANGE.
WretchedCacophony 12.31.24	blue easily
KjSwantko 12.31.24	Hawks will somehow get to be the tie breaker. Unless he just stays with “men” of course.
DType 01.01.25	Btw, i always thought it was yellow, not orange, i'm bad with colors tho
PostmanPat 01.01.25	ORANGE. NOT CLOSE.
PostmanPat 01.01.25	Anyone voting Blue cannot be trusted.
BenThatsMyJamin 01.04.25	Settled then, orange wins
BenThatsMyJamin 01.04.25	The silent majority have been vindicated
artiswar 01.05.25	the correct answer is you listen to them back to back
TheAntichrist 01.05.25	still don't know how blue has .4 higher verage when orange won lol
Spec 01.05.25	Gotta go blue.
BMDrummer 01.05.25	orange always
nash1311 01.05.25	FOCKEN ORANGE YOU FEEL ME
nash1311 01.05.25	Smok, Pika and Tundra said Blue. That’s all you need to know lmfao
Drunk 01.05.25	Come on guys, blue
artiswar 01.05.25	team blue is in shambles
Veldin 01.05.25	I say blue
Galbador 01.05.25	Yea blue
artiswar 01.05.25	I'm firmly on team men
Wildcardbitchesss 01.05.25	How about this, since I hate the band and have never listened to this I’ll be the unbiased objective guy who says which ones better I can’t promise that I’ll listen to more than the first track tho
artiswar 01.05.25	if you're going to listen to only one track... please listen to Straws Pulled At Random
Wildcardbitchesss 01.05.25	Fuck that song fucking sucked, but blue, orange sounds even worse. Rly tho the low end sounds better on orange but the guitar tone sounds so much better on blue. Blue by a hair.
Wildcardbitchesss 01.05.25	Fine I’ll listen to that one.
artiswar 01.05.25	wildcard is going in the gulag
Wildcardbitchesss 01.05.25	I can live with that just no djent please
CugnoBrasso 01.05.25	The Meshuggah debate will be settled when we all collectively come to terms with the fact that we should be listening to Guided By Voices instead.
artiswar 01.05.25	"no djent" wow you are in the wrong place. This is the fucking origin of djent
artiswar 01.05.25	has wildcard died... or... has he fallen in the Shugg rabbithole?? : O
Wildcardbitchesss 01.05.25	I died
artiswar 01.05.25	you'll get there one day
Jurtz 01.05.25	Bro counted my vote twice lmao
artiswar 01.05.25	sshhhhhhh....
KjSwantko 01.05.25	Still shocked at all the heathens of Sputnik that actually prefer orange.
TheAntichrist 01.05.25	the tides have turned
Jurtz 01.05.25	Still a tie, 17 vs. 17
Jurtz 01.05.25	@KjSwantko Blue has Haake neutered and replaced by muffled-sounding, sampled drums, which alone justifies orange supremacy. Also, don't forget the vocal effects added to the blue version. All in all, it's a bit too much meddling for my taste.
nash1311 01.05.25	I mean I think most of us agree that Blue has the better guitar tone. The problem is yes they butchered the vox and drums on Blue. One step forward two back if you will
DType 01.06.25	Exactly that, guitars alone do not compensate for all that is lost. Also, some small but noticeable details like the harmonies at the beginning of Stengah being absent on blue, it lessens the atmosphere the album is originally going for
Jurtz 01.06.25	Yes, Blue is a colder, more mechanical album, so the color is well-chosen
oisincoleman64 01.06.25	your mom gave me some shuggah last night aha
nash1311 01.07.25	I stuck two in her stengah
PostmanPat 01.07.25	Blue should never have been made. Abomination.
Frost15 01.07.25	I'm Team Orange of course
Voivod 01.07.25	-- You just don't fuck Haake's drums and expect that everyone is going to be ok with it this Orange siempre.
KjSwantko 01.14.25	The guitar upgrade makes up for everything else. Only the trve can understand
PostmanPat 01.24.25	wtf how is it tied again Original album sounds better in every conceivable way. yous guys is trippin' yo
artiswar 01.24.25	I prefer one over the other. No clue why I'm in limbo
veninblazer 01.24.25	blue for me ez
evilford 01.24.25	Yuh
jrlikestodance 01.24.25	I still need to listen to blue but orange is my fav Shug album
Spec 01.24.25	blue is like orange but better
PostmanPat 01.30.25	blue is like orange but worse in every way
evilford 01.30.25	Lol
Jurtz 01.30.25	Incorrect
Jurtz 01.30.25	The sampled drums alone are enough to rule out blue
artiswar 01.30.25	looks like team orange is winning by 1. Just to make things interesting I'd like to switch my pick to team blue
Flashmobba 01.30.25	damn this is tough, they both sound so different but I love them both, might go blue though
nash1311 01.30.25	ORANGE MMKAY
PostmanPat 02.05.25	@artiswar Traitors get the rope first! (in Marvel Rivals, of course)
Christbait 02.05.25	I can feel BLUE...down in my plumssss.
