Old meshuggah

[Espaul]

I didn't find a thread about this.

Amongst my friends I hear a lot of dislike about old meshuggah.
But I feel as old meshuggah is just like old Opeth. Awsome in another way!

So if you like it, express it I want to know if I'm the only one left that likes the old stuff!

Here are a couple of awsome songs:
Gods of rapture:


Choirs of devestation:

fact: any meshuggah is pretty much better than everything else.

Don't forget these 3 (best off of Contradictions Collapse/None IMHO):

I do like some older Meshuggah, but I prefer the change of style to newer stuff, as well as the better production. Chaosphere doesn't sound good to me, but it has some brilliant tracks. D.E.I is sick though.

From chaosphere is Neurotica which is one of my favs from meshuggah

 

[DLG]

Chaosphere is easily my fav Meshuggah album

While I love all Meshuggah, I actually prefer the older stuff. Chaosphere and Destroy Erase Improve are their best IMO. I also think they actually sounded heavier when they were playing 7 strings as opposed to 8 strings.

 

[Espaul]

I don't know what I like best, but their newer stuff sounds way more clinical (in material) and makes me reluctant to listen to as much of it.

I would say I find the newer stuff way more heavy, but the old stuff grooves and has more melodies, elements and stuff

The old stuff just reminds me of Metallica, and I hate Metallica. Chaosphere onwards is juicy though.

Chaosphere, the original Nothing mix, and I is where it's at.

Though I love everything they've done.

 

[Unknown Doodl3.2]

D.E.I is the best Meshuggah! To me anyway

 

[cypher_xl]

Older Meshuggah is what newer Metallica can only wish to be hehe. But the vocals really do sound inspired by Hetfield tho.

I made an old vs new Meshuggah thread a while ago however I am always keen to talk about them

Chaosphere and DEI are great albums. None is awesome as well.

Seeing the Transfixion video clip for the first time and listening to Sane off the route 666 album really got me into them. I prefer the "chaotic" style they had previously. (Sane, Transfixion etc).

Not the biggest fan of CC. Although there's a softer song on there which is pretty cool. track 9?

In saying this I have all of their albums and Obzen was AWESOME!

Noone's mentioned Catch 33 yet?
Easily my favorite Messhuggah album

 

[Randy]

Some songs from CC play on my Pandora pretty regularly and no matter how many times I hear them, as soon as it comes on, I SPRING for the phone to see who/what it is.

Definitely good in a different way than more current Meshuggah. Both equally as amazing, and the more current iteration being possibly more innovative (we're talking Chaosphere and up), but still sick in it's own right. I really need to pickup a copy of CC.

I like all periods really.
I'd say musically that 'CatchThirtythree' is my favorite musically, but their early period was still slammin'
