Meshuggah!

[super_girl28]

Please pardon me if there is already a thread on this fantastic, fantastic band (I did use the search function).

Allmusic:


Last.FM:


I have heard nothing but good things about this band and obZen is one of my favorite recorRAB this year. They've gone great lengths to make some fantastic recorRAB, and I'm anxious to see them when they come stateside.

Anyone else like them?

Well, maybe. Although the vocals and drumming do have a lot of similarities, Gojira has this, say, organic feel to their music. Meshuggah is more of a machine, pounding their music and hatred on you. It's weirdly groovy and the drumming always gets me! Oh well, I wouldn't force myself either if i didn't like it.

I like prog but I don't mind a bit of Meshuggah!

They're pretty good, if not over hyped by the metal community.

[xx†Eddie†xx]

I'm not part of the metal community.

And it seemed like they got good reviews across the board.

[Brett K]

Really? I know a few proggies who absolutely hate them, though proggies hate everything.

[Julius S]

I have worked out why I can't get on with them-it's the production. It does'nt do them justice.

[Mahir S]

It's quite possible, but I still enjoy them.

Allmusic didn't rate a single album of theirs under four stars, and they're usually a pretty good index of impartiality.

Really? The last track is hypnotizing.

I wouldn't force it if you don't like them.

[Smiling Costs Nothing :)]

Can you explain yourself at least just a little bit? Like I said before, the lack of "chugga chugga" riffing doesn't matter whatsoever. Metalcore can do without it. And what happened to Trivium, are they still this so called "nu thrash" or what?
