BIG NEWS: Meshuggaaaaaaaaaah

[Senseyete]

Fucking goddamn tube amps. Those guys have gotten better tones on their POD albums than all but a hand's count of people with the best of tube amps, microphones, and processing chains, and here we are surrounded by 'Oh my, that is a lovely tone indeed, but I think it needs more FUCKING LIGHT BULBS in there somewhere'. Give me a fucking break.

Man... To each his own, and all that shit, but if you guys think that Meshuggah's guitar tones are awesome then you might wanna go to the Asian drug store and buy some of those wax cleaning candles that you shove in your ear and light up.

Every single Meshuggah record after DEI sounds like ass. The guitar tones on DEI are strange, but at that time it was just really different. You'd be hard pressed to find a professional engineer anywhere that would disagree with me.

Also, Meshuggah used a Marshall Valvestate for much of the early recordings...and that's far from a true tube amp.

I just had my ears checked a couple of weeks ago. Forgive me, oh earwaxy one, for liking the re-Nothing tone more than DEI...

I think (and that's an oxymoron ) that pretty much every riff I've ever heard from Meshuggah has been rad, except for that last song on Chosphereuke: ! I think they have just slowly developed, from album to album, a crazier, (hence the name mesuggah), writing style. Just being as original as possible. If you listen to NONE and CONTRADICTIONS COLLAPSE, they're fairly normal, DEI, is fairly normal, CHAOSPHERE, gives a hint of offtime, NOTHING, the first time I heard it I had to stop the car and just soak it in, it was so extraordinary , I, well it's a 17 minute song!, CATCH 33, it's just a couple of grooves edited to make like 13 songs or something. When they say "DEI era", that makes me think they are gonna write more traditionally. I've always liked every tone they have had, but my personal fav era would be DEI hands down, so this is good news for me!

 

[metalkingdom]

DEI, is fairly normal, CHAOSPHERE, gives a hint of offtime

DEI would be fairly normal only if you heard it within the last couple of years, because so many bands have incorporated Meshuggah's influence into their own music. But when that shit first dropped, it was extremely radical.

The rhythms on Chaosphere closely resemble latin percussion and jazz timings. More than a "hint"... And not a subtle one at that. Dude - the last song is one of the best on that album!!!

Sorry to be anal, but I is 21 minutes long, not 17.

Also I think that the production on the Nothing rerelease was a lot fucking better then the production on any of their other albums. In the same way people complain about Tomas not drumming on the album, they complain about using Pod's and Vetta's. Who gives a shit how they achieve the sound they have. As long as you think it sounds cool then thats all that matters.

In my opinion the tone off DEI, Chaosphere, and Nothing sound like absolute arse. Nothing mainly to the fact it sounds so out of tune. Im a huge fan of all these albums by the way.

 

[JBroll]

The Chaosphere guitar tone is the second-favorite tone of mine behind Nothing and I, just because that scalp-removal-without-anesthesia sound fits the album so well.

Lepersmeesa, are you talking about the original or the remastered Nothing? That doesn't sound out of tune to me...

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

I was shocked when I heard "None" back then in 199... something... (argh), that was far from normal I second metalkingdom on this

Yeah, well....

I don't recall any bands jumping at the chance to have FT produce their album.

Different story for Mr. Bergstrand, though. DEI set this guy's career off in a huge way.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS LISTENING TO??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question 1: Did Meshuggah learn from Bergstrand, or did Bergstrand learn from Meshuggah?

Question 2: How do you know that no one tried to have FT produce their album?

Edit: Oh, one more thing. As far as I know, Meshuggah has tested amps for at least twenty years, to be able to get what they want soundwise. Tube amps too, believe me on that. They're happy now

Yeah, hard questions, huh?

 

[Gnash]

Yeah, MK, I didn't say their style was the fucking standard in the 90s era, i'm referring to MESHUGGAH'S progression of their writing style. Yeah, DEI isn't normal, but the tuning, pretty normal compared to NOTHING! I've been listening to DEI since it came out, and it's my favorite Meshuggah album, and one of my top 5 albums of ALL TIME! Yeah, that ENDING (my bad) of the last song on Chaosphere is fucked!:zombie: Fuct in a good way. That home video they have is pretty much twisted like that. Of course, Messhuggah blew my head off, when I first heard 'em. They are the band that I was always looking to hear, like "The Thing That Should Not Be" vibe, since Master. Oh yeah, I, 21 min, my bad. MESHUGGAH FAST!

 

[grimace]

I know a lot of people might hate it, but I loved "I" and "Catch-33." I like the dichotomy between them, and I almost think of them as two sides to the same album.

Mt faforite band!! Nothing is like a revolution in metal music.

I actually quite enjoy that out of tune thing (which isn't really out of tune, more like a small intonation problem)...I enjoy listening the first Nothing way more than the re-release !

It's just a matter of taste I guess.
