  • @panayiotis131

    Part of Meshuggah's appeal is this deliberate monotony. Bleed is the best example of this. This one-note repetition that Judson refers to, comparing it to a jackhammer, is a very purposeful part of Meshuggah's sound: The stark harmonic context, the almost drone-like melodies, are there to plant the listener's attention down. The relentless rhythms work together to that effect. The very low notes on the guitars add to the "lack" of melody, and the songs become something like rhythmic, aggressive... mantras. It is well known that many of Meshuggah's (and relevant artists') fans refer to their music as ...meditative (myself included).

      I heard a non metalhead refer to music once as "the last magic on Earth" and this song is a great representation of that mentality. A shaman in trance, but it's Bleed instead of a drum circle.

      @BernardoMartins_ 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

      It actually isn’t!
      Once I saw an interview with their drummer Thomas Haake, who said ob in obzen comes from the Latin prefix ob-, which means ‘anti’ or ‘the contrary of’.
      So ObZen is anti-zen. The opposite of Zen.
      It’s kind of funny to use the Latin prefix to go along Zen,
      which is ancient Japanese, but the outcome means what it means and the sound remind you of ‘obscene’, which their music is in the most rhythmic way possible.

    You should definitely get him to check out other songs. Despite being a top tier song, I don't think Bleed is the best song for introducing someone to Meshuggah especially given it's a one of a kind song within their catalogue. Demiurge or Rational Gaze are a lot easier to digest or even Born in Dissonance and the title track, Obzen, which I'd say has a nice mix of the slower sludgier parts and the fast paced bits like Bleed.

    • @gurushen99
      @gurushen99 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Yeah, OK, I'll say it: Bleed is overrated and does drag on for a fair bit. I appreciate the stamina and limb independence skill cap is high, but it could easily have been 3 minutes shorter and not lost any of it's oomph.
      If Judson found Bleed monotonous, he'll probably think the same of Demiurge and especially Born in Dissonance (As much as I love both).
      I actually feel a great entry track to Meshuggah would be Do Not Look Down. Plenty of movements melodically and the typical syncpation/polyrhythm mindbuggery happening while also pretty short and succinct.

    Meshuggah is perhaps the most intriguing band out there. There's been a lot of jazz fusion influence in their sound, unless I'm mistaken, since forever. The vocal is "hermetic", "straight", "colorless". But I consider it a bold, avant-garde, interesting, disconcerting, intriguing sound. But it's not a "fun" sound to listen to, it's very "cerebral", like playing chess, I don't know. The current Sepultura I find much more interesting, and also has very complex arrangements and songs, but, of course, they are very different styles. Anyway, I can't come to the conclusion whether I like Meshuggah or not. But I recognize that they have a unique, "special" sound, not necessarily "catchy". OK, the band has excellent musicians and a drummer, Tomas Haake, who is impressive, although Sepultura's drummer Eloy Casagrande is superior for certain subtle details. The person who had the courage to take on this was the exceptional drums/percussion and performance specialist of drummers, Andrew Rooney, from New Zealand, who is also a very nice person...

      i disagree, Jens might sound colorless to someone untrained in listening to Jens screaming,
      Jens adds a lot of emotions and texture to Meshuggah`s music. But for a beginner for listening to Meshuggah, it can help to view Jens as simply an extention of Tomas Haake`s drumming.
      I personally love Meshuggah i think they are one of the most important metal bands in the entire history of metal and they are the band most responsible for the modern sound of metal.

      @@thetruth4654 You're out of the loop, man. Appearances can be deceiving and you need to learn to respect plausible, reasonable opinions that differ from your own. I know and have Meshuggah's records since their first LP in 1991 "Contradictions Collapse", when the band had a clear influence from Metallica, and was also influenced by jazz fusion. Why have several people already liked my main message??? I and everyone who liked my post would be "wrong"??? Of course not!!! If you revere Meshuggah, that's fine. But even the current Sepultura is superior, more interesting, has a more dynamic, more "colorful" sound. Meshuggah's sound is indeed "cerebral", "hermetic", which is not "fun", "catchy", the vocalist has a "straight" style, "without colors", but they are excellent musicians, a band that can be considered "avant-garde", "unique", "disconcerting", and that it has an impressive drummer, but I have already highlighted that it is a fact that Eloy Casagrande (Sepultura) is superior due to several subtle details. If you want to accept this counterpoint, this plausible, reasonable dissenting opinion: great. If you don't want to accept it, this is called "fanaticism" (which is, in practice, synonymous with "blindness"), in this case, in relation to Meshuggah. Fact.

    I think the name of the album is a play on words, a portmanteau of Obscene and Zen.
    I think the best part of this song, aside from monstrous energy and technical performance, is that you can easily bop along to it in spite of the polyrythm that underlines it. The fact that the hat and snare just chuggs along at a normal 4/4 makes it very accessible :)

  • @TysonGiffordME
    @TysonGiffordME 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    one thing that explains the repetitiveness of the song is that it is about an aneurysm, so the triplets is like the blood pressure firing off in the brain. Meshuggah (despite the band being Swedish, the name comes from Yiddish, and just means crazy) has a repetitive rhythmic sound overall, but this is a concept song about an aneurysm (brain bleed) so that super repetitive nature of the song is very intentional. Some other important details is that the band has been around for ages ('87), was an early adopter of 7 string guitars, popularized 8 string guitars, and essentially invented the poly-rhythm syncopated sound/genre known as Djent, but before they went in that direction they were just a very technical and super heavy thrash band. In other songs the poly-rhythms get pretty crazy with stuff like 4/4 over obscure signatures like 23/16.

      Especially with the light tech being part of the band, and doing an insanely complicated light show live. Now, Meshugga is not a band I listen to on the regular, aside from having Bleed in one of my play lists. And a whole show is a bit much meshugga for me. But I am still glad I went to the show, just to experience the extremely cool vibe.

      @@MaGariShun Obviously that's how it is. I certainly don't think they are repetitive due to lack of ideas. But still, it remains the feature that many find irritating. A nice idea repeated for too long becomes monotonous in other genres...In such a hardcore field the line is even more subtle because instead of monotonous, you risk becoming really annoying.
