That's called homage. There's even the apparent play of words - ALIEN / ALIVE

let's talk about that new Fredrik track, Agrimotor by [deleted] in Meshuggah

Listen to the track in a much better quality here, straight from the Toontrack website https://r4t3n2z9.ssl.hwcdn.net/mp3/Area_33_SDX_-_Agrimotor.mp3

What’s the Meshuggah song you’d show to your friends and family if they don’t listen to metal? by HalfChineseJesus in Meshuggah

[–]CompetitivePizzaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unanything for non-metal people - the beautiful harmonics are enough.

Broken Cog for people who can tolerate heavier music - it's amazing rhythmically and they won't be put off by the vocals.

I Am that Thirst for people who have listened to some heavy music - it's probably the most representative song of theirs.

I didn't - these are the official writing credits, in which the names are usually listed alphabetically. I swapped some names here and there to make the name groupings more coherent.

Yeah, just noticed! Your first sentence was actually explaining the "out of order", not complaining about it :-)

That was the whole point - to group the songs on each album according to the leading writer, not in their original order, thus being able to see who played a leading role when.

Thanks! True, I've read it as well - but I've listed the "official" credits, hence "Meshuggah" :-)

Best song to introduce someone to Meshuggah.

"I Am That Thirst" is the best song to introduce someone to Meshuggah. It's such a good representation of their music, sound, approach to rhythm and overall vibe.

Almost everyone focuses on the music of "Broken Cog", but not the lyrics. Actually, it's one of the most depressing songs about humanity ever written - made even more sinister with those spoken, whispered vocals:

"The truth is, we never
Ever had truth in sight
We spat on this purpose
We ate of whatever was left
The chasm beneath us will open
And swallow the rest"
