  • Mine’s got to be Meshuggah’s The Violent Sleep of Reason.

    geeking out:

    Tracks in order:

    1. Janky broken machine riff. And they have chords? What the fuck are those?
    2. Paying respects to classic metal, and dare I say there’s even some blues in there? Then an amazing illusory infinitely descending riff.
    3. Not my favorite song, but it’s still solid. The solo sounds like a joke but also fucking slaps, and the following sections saves the song.
    4. The outro of this song is contender for fattest riff on the album.
    5. The verse rhythm is hidden in the 4:15 section. Best song overall?
    6. Another infinitely descending riff. Then the solo riff which does so much with basically a single note.
    7. Holy shit the verse is so fucking nasty! Outro also fattest riff contender.
    8. Seemingly random (except the verse) which then mostly gets unlocked at 3:18 by a riff that is both amazing on its own, but is also introduced … in the middle of a solo, wtf? At the end “gazing to the sky” actually a rare emotional moment.
    9. The verse proves that tone matters, it’s so goddamn crispy.
    10. Really fitting ending song.
