Zephyr_Nova Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Well yeah, the questions were nothing special, I mostly just enjoyed how Tomas responded to a lot of them. He's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tauhid Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yeah I don't know how I feel about it. I don't think they benefit from a more "organic" approach, if anything. Their music sounds better with extensive production, especially the drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirm Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 i quite like it, reminds me of nothing which is my fav album by them. Their difficult to judge by 1 track anyway much more of an album band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I can't comment much on the production since I'm listening on my laptop, but I really like the track itself. Those ethereal guitars that come in at the middle and end combined with that groovy-as-fuck riff hit just the right spot for me. I always like it when they add a bit of melodic counterpoint into their 100 tons of heaviness. It sounded like the layering of Jens' voice was a little more subtle this time around, giving it a slightly more raw vibe. That super processed cold sound works great for them, but it's cool to hear they're going somewhere a bit more organic this time around. Yep, i approve. Meshuggah is still awesome. *just saw the post above mine. I agree with the Nothing comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Ooze Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Only Meshuggah album i have is catch 33, i don't get it at all, i can listen to it but it's just cold beats, riffs and a those hardcore vocals, i realy tried to get in it those live video's realy seem dope though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Catch 33 is definitely not the best place to start with Meshuggah. I recommend checking out Obzen, as it displays much more diversity, and Tomas Haake actually plays the drums (Catch 33 is all programmed drums and more of an experiment all around). If you haven't heard him play you're missing out on one of the most essential parts! I can't comment much on the production since I'm listening on my laptop, but I really like the track itself.

Tauhid Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yeah. I kinda like where they go after the bridge, but beyond that couldn't really care less about it. The main groove isn't doing much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psn Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yes, give us some fricking thrash, some fricking fusion, some fricking adventure again. It's all grind grind grind for the last 10 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encey Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I think the riffs are awesome as usual; I kind of just wish the verses had more than just the guitar and bass playing the same thing -- strangely, it makes things sound empty, or like something is missing. Like it could just be one guy singing and playing guitar with an octave pedal, and another guy on drums. Once the bridges or solos come in, it's a bit more filled out, but even then -- and maybe it's just the quality of these files -- the mix sounds like it's missing a lot of high end, which makes it sound kind of like I'm listening to a cassette or something. Like, it could have more energy if so many frequencies weren't missing. Dunno if that makes any sense, but. Also, the last interlude in the track psn posted is SO Rush!

Zephyr_Nova Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Well I thought the latest track sampling kicked ass. I can definitely get that a lot of people are just bored of what appears to be "more of the same", as there are no new giant musical leaps being made or anything. But fuck, I still haven't heard anyone else do it like that. I enjoyed the comment during the guitar solo "Kurt Hammet solo in the wrong key," which is pretty apt except Kurt Hammet soloing in the wrong key is still pretty much just Kurt Hammet being Kurt Hammet. Again, i think it's cool that the vocals are stripped down this time, and overall the whole thing sounds a lot less processed. When it comes to Meshuggah that's enough of a significant change to keep things kind of interesting for me. That and they did go back to doing some thrashy shit on Obzen, albeit the updated grindier groovier version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
