| Top 10 Meshuggah
Yeah, so I worship these guys. Here are, in my opinion, their best. | | 1 | Meshuggah
Dancers to a Discordant System
obZen:
The musical embodiment of pure f***ing chaos. The abundance of completely badass riffs here stuns me every time I listen to this behemoth of a song. And it's fun to play. | | 2 | I
I:
Does this one need any explanation? Only Meshuggah could write a 21 minute metal song that keeps me interested the entire time. It still amazes me that they can actually play this. | | 3 | Obzen
obZen:
Listening to this makes me want to repeatedly slam a brick into my head, then get into a brawl with Chuck Norris. And then win. The musical embodiment of anger. | | 4 | Future Breed Machine/Future Breed Machine (Mayhem version)
Destroy Erase Improve/The True Human Design:
These two are tied. The original is classic Meshuggah, and is amazing, but the Mayhem version stand as the best remix track I have ever heard. There's just something about one of the most brutal songs of all time being slowed down into half time. | | 5 | Bleed
obZen:
This song simultaneously makes my wrist, fingers, feet, and throat burt. Mostly the feet. This is why Haake is a f***ing beast. | | 6 | In Death - Is Life/Death
Catch 33:
Showcases some of Meshuggah's most mindbending riffs, particularly at about 2 1/2 minutes into the second (Is Death) part of the song. Not my favorite album of theirs, but this song was badass. | | 7 | Pravus
obZen:
One of their most listenable tracks: straightforward, brutal, and complex at the same time. This song shows how a breakdown is MEANT to be done. | | 8 | New Millenium Cyanide Christ
Chaosphere:
The music video. | | 9 | Nebulous
Nothing:
Meshuggah always uses really f***ing low tunings, but this beast of a song is something else. Drop Zb, maybe? (it's actually E standard, a whole step down from the usual F standard.) | | 10 | Spasm
Nothing:
Just the weirdness of this song, and the fact that they actually do it well enough for it to be listenable. The only other track that I know of where Haake does these vocals is Dancers, but it just doesn't compare to his work on Spasm. | | 11 | Honorable Mentions
These just missed the cut:
Corridor of Chameleons - Brutal.
Straws Pulled at Random - Just some really catchy riffs here, if it is a bit simplistic compared to their other stuff.
Futile Bread Machine - Meshuggah campfire song. 'Nuff said.
Shed - Just really f***ing creepy stuff. | |

08.13.10 | the second half of "obzen" when the drum fill comes in and the song goes into overdrive is absolutely fucking insane | kangaroopoo
08.13.10 | Nice list. Especially top 3. Meshuggah are peculiarly and increasingly infectious. I prefer them from Chaosphere onwards. 'I' is a gem. | Mordecai.
08.13.10 | sorry but straws and lethargica need to be on here | InFiction
08.13.10 | Combustion? | Emim
08.13.10 | Needs more War | Relinquished
08.13.10 | you don't worship them like i do. there's no breakdown in pravus, the song obzen isn't that good---it's just a huge breakdown albeit a cool one. you're missing sublevels big time. | kvltelite
08.13.10 | faggot band | Relinquished
08.13.10 | cmon rasp | kvltelite
08.13.10 | wat the fuck did u call me | Relinquished
08.13.10 | i know who u are better take out that lastfm thing | TrapThemAlive
08.13.10 | totally agree on 1. kvltelite, what a fitting name, faggot | Terrifyer
08.13.10 | idk band is pretty boring
although 1 is a good song | Photon
08.13.10 | for me two is their best song and i would also include combustion | ConsiderPhlebas
08.13.10 | 5 and 7 are so awesome | KILL
08.13.10 | where the fuck is shed! | KILL
08.13.10 | ok i didnt see the honourable mentions thing | wyankeif1337
08.13.10 | Relinquished:
I dunno how you define a breakdown, I was just talking about the really fucking heavy part at about 3:30 in Pravus.
And Sublevels ain't that great. Not bad, just not my favorite. |
