Members Loobster Posted April 24, 2008 Members Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm not really much of a metalhead but I do like Meshuggah and a couple other bands. This new album seems to sound quite similar to Chaosphere in many ways. Seems pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fatso Forgottso Posted April 24, 2008 Members Share Posted April 24, 2008 YES holy {censored} its a good album. Combustion is sooooo Tool-ish. At least the intro. But Bleed is beyond ridiculous. It's so confusing and intense and bananas all at once. The bass drum is out of this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kayzer Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 I also hear the new meshuggah a lot! And it is really good to see that the go fast again... Best Songs since future Breed Machine on the Destroy Erase Improve IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tidalwaveGB Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 I didn't get into Meshuggah till recently, and the only album I own is Destroy Erase...., but I can definitely appreciate what they have done for heavy music. I think the most interesting part about this band is that the drummer often plays in 4/4, or other seemingly simple time-signatures, but all the other instruments are doing something else entirely different, which makes for a pretty radical sound. Good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members orangekick Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 Obzen is amazing. I have been listening to it almost non-stop since it was leaked and then I bought the disc and have been annoying everyone in my car with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members opultaM Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 I hate to sound like a...whatever it is I will sound like, but I really miss the old Meshuggah. None and Destroy Erase Improve really destroyed me. Chaosphere and I were decent. other than that, I find myself bored with their albums. Especially the new one, which just reminds me of Nothing. I try and listen and then 2 minutes into a song I realize that I'm day dreaming about spaceships or something and I haven't heard a single note. ANd I think it sounds pretty weak in production compared with None especially. Idunno, it's like they just don't feel like writing songs anymore and instead just come up with a crazy synchopation to repeat for 5 minutes while the drums just stay in 4. I miss the movement, the excitement, the low parts that felt like they were going somewhere instead of just being a break in the song. That is my humble opinion I got worried that maybe I was getting old and couldn't handle my metal anymore. But then I put in some Necrophagist and all was right with the world.

Members enditol Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 Great album, really represents the sound of thier last 'eras' well, yet somehow a bit more straight ahead or almost accessible for them (which I didn't mind). They sound like no other band and that in itself is quite an achievment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Free the Guilty Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 You know I was in Virgin Megastore and I thought of this thread (how sad I know!) so I just picked it up and listened to about half of it on the way home and it blew my head off. It's so amazing compared to 33 I can't really begin the describe. The overall production is fantastic and I bet it took forever to get the recording and mixing done to such a high level. Giving it another listen right now, thanks Loobster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bvester Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 ObZen and Nothing are two of the best progressive metal albums ever made. Go ahead and hate me if you're an old Meshuggah fan, but honestly those two albums, and the way in which the band has progressed as a whole, are the most amazing aspects of them.
