Meshuggah - Glints Collide (w/ lyrics)

[metalveyn]

I love their knack for writing contradicting alliterations into somewhat socially poetic prose. Their beats kick ass too, inaccessibly accessible..

[metalveyn]

Yeah, when I bought the original album I anxiously cracked open the booklet to find (gasp) nothing... Very funny..

[thedearpsychonaut]

idk why people talk about the original recording sounding more 'raw' and 'in your face'. if you ask me..this is pretty in your face lol. the clarity only re amplifies the atmosphere of the music to a more psychedelic sense..which i believe is what they are going after at least from the lyrical content.

Finally I know what Jens says in that verse, Thanks a lot!

BTW, you figured it out by yourself?

[ZenotheMetalWarrior]

@Orierez Oh, no no no no no. I copied it from the lyric book that came with the CD lol. I usually can't figure out what Jens is saying half the time.

@ZenotheMetalWarrior

Well, in the booklet of the original version of the Nothing (not the remastered one) this verse is missing for some reason and due to the fact the they sound the same to me I never bothered to buy the remastered version.

[ZenotheMetalWarrior]

@Orierez Well, this is definitely the re-recorded version. And in the booklet for this one, everything's there. I read somewhere that there was barely anything in the booklet for the original.

@ZenotheMetalWarrior - the original booklet is empty. just black pages. hence "nothing". badass concept, and this song embodies the idea perfectly.

[darwinism14]

damn, I don't like the sound of this Nothing (remastered version)

[ZenotheMetalWarrior]

@darwinism14 it does lack the raw power of the original. Some songs are almost too clean. And the lack of reverb on Jens' vocals on the original made them much more in-your-face, but hey, whatcha gonna do? Some songs are better off, some aren't.

[darwinism14]

and thank you very much for putting this kerosene flame here :)

i feed myself with NOTHING!

[ZenotheMetalWarrior]

I plan on putting up "Contradictions Collapse" in the near future. Just to let you know.

Thanks a lot. Nice to have their works with lyrics along on youtube, although I have a .txt archive with all of their lyrics (at least all the released ones). xD
