The most common complaint I hear about Meshuggah, from the monotone vocals to the djent-spawning guitar crunch, is repetitiveness. It is true that a passing listen yields a surface-level of uniformity that some may find unappealing. However, there was an interview with the band stating something that has stuck with me: every instrument is treated as percussion. Considering this fact helped everything resonate on a deeper level with me. The drums, of course, are technical beyond measure with their polyrhythms and constant changes, but the guitars and the vocal cadence are given equal attention in their meticulous placement within the time signatures. Nothing is left to chance with Meshuggah. Read more ›› |

Somehow I was led to believe that this album wasn't that great... It's not as bad as some people have suggested.

This album is exactly what to expect from a massive band like Meshuggah and their work has not let any fans down ! this album is skull crushing and heavy and you will find it hard not to headbang to it

I like this album quite a bit! Very fine slab of skull crushing tech metal. One of my faves from this band really. Behind the Sun is the highlight for me.

Written by Slyfang on 14.06.2012 at 04:01 I'm with the first guy... BTBWSGIM (longest song name ever!) is the business! For some of us it isn't the speed that does it, it's the sludgy, bone-crushing slower tempos that induce neck-breakage. By far my favorite track. And, just for the fun of it: I dig THTFYF but it's the end that really does it for me.

Written by Uldreth on 19.04.2012 at 23:18 That song has the same effect on you too..huh? Number one repeated riff in my head since I first heard it. Gung de-gung de-gung, dun dun blaa-dound, gee-gung gee-gung (etc.)  Rules!
