Post CommentHaake has a lot of hand problems from being caught in some sort of industrial accident. My guess is that that factors in a lot with the programming.
I wonder when all these shitty bands on lamb goat are going to give meshuggah a little more recognition for their shitty break downs everyone loves. If it were for these geniuses, they would have their 4/4 break downs that try and replicate every rythmic source of magic Meshuggah has created.
what does their name mean?? i dont feel like researching it... someone here has to know. these guys are f*cking good.
Meshuggah = Insane or Insanity... If i remember correctly...
Meshuggah is hebrew for "madness". Is this record even out yet?
I say meh to you Cory! You are a fiend! How could you give these cheap bastards an 8 and us a 7! You sir are a disgrace to society and you lose at life!!!
add two parts nu metal, one part chug, and repeat that riff for 30 minutes at a time, out pops meshugga.
^has no f*cking clue what they are talking about
Well, I agree for the most part with this review, although i think way to much is being brought upon the drums being programmed. Who cares? If one band on earth could get away with writing a album behind drums that were programmed, its Meshuggah. The process behind writing this record is known only to the band, so to base an opinion on something known only to them, is pointless. Also, a correct would be that they didn't program the drums because of the parts, the programmed the drum parts becau

This is awesome. Reminds me alot of A Life Once Lost and Donnie Darko, but still good.
everyone insists on changing my mind about how great this band is....though i've still yet to be sold. I dont know what it is about em that i dont like but i really dont like em.
This is Meshuggah's worst album since DEI. All you other morons talking about how this band ripped off ALOL need to do about 4 seconds of research and see when Meshuggah's first album came out. Then, promptly find another dressing room to suck dcks in at shows as ALOL fooled you all. ALOL is to Meshuggah what Cory is to Freddy Mercury. Freddy already had the Aids, Cory just wanted it.
^^^^^^^^ f*ck me!!! I'm still in stiches over that one
Hahahahaha, but seriously, I'm not into this album.
Meshuggah is probably my favorite band, and i was kind of disappointed by this album. but like they said, its an experiment, who cares. and as for the fake drums, it doesnt really come out that often, but there are TONS of bands that do that. Almost all of the swedish metal bands that people worship do it. Anyone who's seen Tomas Haake live knows he can play it. so why not save time and money in the studio? good review.
meshuggah owns your face. www.hxcmp3.com/bands/22911 new song.
no hear yet. however as it goes with every band, each album has it's own form of 'decline' as far as value to listeners. For the most part, it's just monotony, which can't be helped. Once you've heard a band, one, two maybe three albums down the road, it's old. If this is truely an experiement, and is not the same meshuggah i know, hey, i'll listen once. btw - LOL to the ALOL references.
You dumbasses, a life once lost is ripping off shug, not the other way around. Shug came out with Chaosphere in '98, hence the beginning of their new style
from a musicians standpoint, these guys keep getting better and better. I don't know what I would think of them if I didn't play an instrument, but this album definitely is pushing the envelope of everything they have done so far. And as to the fake drums, anyone who as ever seen Meshuggah live will agree Haake can undoubtably play the entire album w/ out too much trouble. I think this was a studio album written by the core song writers of the band.
Meshuggah plays a large segment of Catch33 live so Haake can indeed pull off the drums this album.
Tomas recorded every drum sound himself, the computer was only used to put each beat into the songs in the patterns and beats and time sigs they follow. Word is Fredrik wrote the drums too, or at least co-wrote.
You will love this album if Ozzfest is the first place you saw them, if not then 4/10.
f*ck 8/10 this band is one of the most boring and monotone bands i have ever listened to
