[@wychwoodmusic]

Geezus Christ this is viscious, groovy, AND technical. Now I feel bad for basically ignoring Meshuggah for years, since most tech-metal bores me. Also, if I could make a new rule for metal, the bass would always be mixed this loud, it's absolutely brutal and delicious.

[@Fjongus]

I am with you all the way with the new rule for bass. 🙂It makes everything more weighty and meaty! Unfortunately many bands focus on getting a (bass)heavy guitartone, instead of letting the actual bass handle the low end. And then there is little room for the bassguitar in the mix. It is not as simple ad that of course, but to an extent it is what happens.

[@wychwoodmusic]

@@Fjongus Yeah, I think you've hit the nail on the head. It's understandable to want a huge guitar sound with all the bass you can get - especially when you're practicing alone. But if more metal guitarists would pull back a bit in the context of the band and leave space for bass, I think it's a clear path to an overall thicker, heavier and just plain better sound, as Meshuggah prove here.

[@axllbk]

@@wychwoodmusic RATM is also good example

[@wychwoodmusic]

@@axllbk Absolutely! I tend to blame the huge and excellent bass sound on RATM on their funk and hip hop influences, but it definitely makes their rock-metal stuff that much heavier and more powerful

[@yargum69]

Absolute genius songs, flawlessly executed. What some people are missing is that Meshuggah's music is not trying to produce the emotions that most other music tries to produce. Someone said good art disturbs the comforted and comforts the disturbed. There is an existential darkness in their music, but also a playfulness and humor that you rarely see in metal. Their music is vulnerable, and if you let it take you on a journey, there is an unparalleled depth, and on the other side, perspective. They are one of the great bands of rock music, and true innovators in their time.

[@vogelvogeltje]

If you listen really closely, during straws, the bassist fucks up a couple of times. They’re still human, but I think it makes it way better to know even meshuggah fucks up.
