Sirs, the entire point of Meshuggah is to find the 4/4 beat, the one you can headbang to. After you find that point, the rest of the song circles around your head in a manner that you can only visualize. imagine the beat as a series of lights circling around your head as you do the 4/4 headbang. You'll notice that the lights pulse at odd places around your head, but the more you listen to it the more familiar you get with how the lights pulse around your head. Meshuggah's riffs are super duper long, and you need to have an understanding of the whole thing before you can appreciate it. One of Meshuggah's riffs takes place on an extremely long scale of beats, which means that the whole thing is lost if you cannot hold that complex rhythm in your head. This is not the talk of an elitist, this is simply advice for those of you that are not Meshuggah fans. It's like a complex whiskey: it takes time to tease out its complexity.

Watching you two react to this is so eye opening. Hear me out. It's so much sound, a wall, and what you're both able to pick out of it is seriously interesting because it forces me, and I bet other metalheads, to hear it differently. I think by the time most of us get around to Meshuggah, our ears do hear it completely differently. I bet very few people got into Metal with their first listen being this band.

The thing with listening to Meshuggah is that in order to keep the groove, you have to focus on the beat the cymbal is playing. 99% of the time with Meshuggah, the cymbal is playing a simple 4/4 beat at a consistent tempo throughout the song. The guitars and the bass drum are the ones playing and switching between many different unconventional time signatures, so if you focus on those instead of the cymbal, you lose the groove.

This song has a constant 4/4 groove like most Meshuggah songs. Just headbang to the leading cymbal (hihat, china or crash) and you're good. I'd also argue that Do Not Look Down is the most accessible song of theirs.

When trying to groove with meshuggah, just Bob your head with the cymbals. It's always incredibly groovy in a weird way. You just groove the cymbals and the the guitar go wherever it wants. The cymbals are almost always straightforward.

Found you guys out a couple of days ago and binged all your metal reactions. I can't get enough. Lovin' the videos and I love the progression you guys have had throughout your metal videos. I don't think you guys have covered any black metal. I would love to see a reaction video of Dimmu Borgir (A Norwegian black metal band) - Serpentine Offering or Prodigies of Great Apocalypse. Cheers

One word guys: Combustion That is as straight forward as I've heard them, take that from someone who isn't a fan, trust me. But it goes hard and it will hit you like a freight train, and you'll break your neck going nuts headbanging to it. Forget what all the fans say and do that one.

If you miss the 1 when it kicks in, the song sounds massively fucked up. Compare the studio version and the live version from the Alive album. I think the Alive version is how it's "supposed" to sound. There's also a video on KZread where someone added a metronome. People comment that it completely altered how they heard the music.

Yeah, I'm not sure why people struggle to catch the groove. Well, actually, I think it's because they are fixating on the element that is creating tension in the phrase. In old jazz it would be the off color note that gives the tension release, in Meshuggah its a rhythm that lays over the top that gradually "goes out of time" then comes back. In actuality it fits perfectly but it gives the weird feel and I think during early listens its hard to let those parts be just parts of the whole instead of the main element. As soon as they just chill with it, they will be bobbing their head all the way through this track

It sounds to me like they get caught up in the sound of the notes instead of following the patterns and the rhythm. Meshuggah notes bounce all over the place but the patterns remain consistent. Even when that "revolving time signature" thing happens if you keep headbanging in 4/4 you'll eventually meet back up with the song. They haven't listened to enough Meshuggah yet. New Millennium Cyanide Christ would have ruined their day LOL That song was my intro to heavier metal and I told my friend that his CD was skipping. He's like "Nah they do that on purpose." Been a fan ever since.

You need to study a little bit more. It is an odd time signature. It doesn't depend of the numbers, it's the combination of pulse in two and three. In fact, the only thing in really 4/4, the other instruments works with polyrhytms.

@@exitspree ok. You have all the signatures like 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4, all of them have pulses of 2 eights, for example 4/4 is 2/8+2/8+2/8+2/8, every 2/8 is a pulse. And you have signatures like 3/8, 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8, where every pulse has 3/8, so 6/8 are two pulses of 3/8, that means 3/8+3/8, by the accents you will notice that. The odd time signature are the mix of pulses of 2/8 and 3/8, for example 5/8=2/8+3/8 or 5/8=3/8+2/8. Now, that you count a simple signature doesn't mean that is exacltly like it looks, for example, in Supper's Ready is a section that 9/8 is not 3/8+3/8+3/8, it's 4/8+3/8+2/8, so thet 9/8 is an odd time signature, same thing happens in 4/4 or others. Inside that 4/4 meter that Thomas play with the cymbals, you have other rhythms, maybe polyrhythms o polimetric.

ahahahahaha they always got these wrong odd time signature songs they play normally and 4/4s they call odd lmoa

When grooving to Meshuggah you’ll notice that when you nod your head up, then down, and an extra step is added during a transition, you’ll begin nodding in reverse to the upbeat. Most of their songs follow a 4/4 time signature thru the crash cymbal and vocals.Tool is capable of this in several songs as well. Loving the new format guys. Keep em coming.

"Oh, you think we're safe?" Classic. I appreciate how you gents go back to the "crazier" side of metal that you know you dont like but keep trying anyway, cheers.

I think they just respect the genre even if they don't necessarily like it. I have a friend very much not a metal head but if he's hanging with me and I put some on he'll often make comment on a cools groove or a crazy solo for example.

A good tip for you guys to get into the groove of a song with odd time signatures, follow the drum patterns. Especially when it comes to Meshuggah, the drums really hold the songs together groove-wise. If you guys do Meshuggah again Future Breed Machine is a lot more thrashy and I think you'd enjoy it more than this.

Been meaning to give Meshuggah a listen. Thanks.

Man, this band is absolutely awesome! It’s great to sit down and ‘learn’ their songs. Not to play them, but to just figure out how they work and what’s flowing. Absolutely mind bending. I would absolutely recommend listening to Straws Pulled at Random. It’s unique in their discography in that... Well, you’ll just have to listen to it to hear why ;)

The lead guitarist for this band fredrik thordendal has some amazing stuff. Tracks like 1-5 of Special Defects are sick.

Actually, for the Patrons having chosen not one of my favorite Tool songs and for the fact that I've never really cared for Meshugga, I find that these two songs pair together surprisingly well. They're definitely different from each other, but they make for an interesting listening experience, back-to-back. Glad I'm not having to call it because I don't know whether there's a clear winner here, at least for me. And I say that as something of a Tool fan while not so much for Meshugga. I like Aenema, though not as much as I like some other Tool songs, while I liked this song quite a bit more than I thought I would. Btw, it's not lost on me that as with the Opeth song from Group A, the vocal styling in this track is less of an issue for you guys than it has been before. Good on you. You're becoming one of us.
