I totally I agree. I wonder if they know. So much of their stuff is just 100% punishing or like an atonal solo/interlude. Which I love. But I actually think the fact that they don't let a song breath like that more often hurts them rather than helps them. It's a hopeful moment while still being rhythmically interesting. I wish they'd do it more.

I think it’s kind of hilarious,” explained rhythm guitarist Mårten Hagström. “It’s our lead guitar player, Fredrik [Thordendal], being drunk back in the day, talking to one of our old-school fans, trying to explain what type of guitar tone we were always trying to get, and he was desperately trying to say, ‘We want that ‘dj_,’ ‘dj_,’ ‘dj_,’ ‘dj_.'” “And that guy was, like, ‘What’s he saying? Is that a Swedish word? Must be. Sounds like dj_, maybe ‘djent’? Maybe something like that.’ And that’s where it comes from. A drunk misunderstanding, as always with Meshuggah.” When asked in regards to what sort of music that Meshuggah do play, Hagström described their sound as “heavy, experimental music”.
