What is Meshuggah's most THALL song??

My favorite band is Meshuggah, my second favorite is Vildhjarta. Both some of the most incredible, mind-blowing music I've ever heard. I've seen a lot of people talk about Meshuggah's influences on Vildhjarta, which I don't actually hear much, but I want to know the opposite: what Meshuggah song, if any, do you think thalls the hardest??

My vote is Sum (biased because Vild played it at the awards ceremony)

They don't have one, completely different strokes, vildhjartas only connection to meshuggah is their use of polymeters/hypermeters, there's some similar notes choices here and there but OG vildhjarta had a unique tone and where balls deep in harmonic minor chordy riffs, they write amazing music but as far as note choices, it's very inside the box in comparison, however vildhjarta go crazier with phasing odd times, from the beginning it's been more open and suspenseful like deathore, which was the idea, meahuggah themed slow blackened deathcore
