Oh no FLUG!!!



Nothing will forever be my No. 1. Regardless of version. It has the best g~r~o~o~v~e~s. Unparalleled.



Also ford I agree with "Whoever said that meshuggah has 6 albums better than this is correct tho, and this is a 4.5! Insane band" as well 🤭

The fact that there isn't one single record held above the rest by the fanbase tells us something.

Yep it tells us 90% of fans have the wrong favorite 🤣

That Shug is goated and almost every record is the right answer, except Contradictions Collapse.

This record requires a certain mindset for me to put it on. It's definitely not the 1st or even 2nd record that comes to mind when I think "hey let's listen to some Meshuggah". But when I am in the right space, I always end up saying that this is my favorite from them.



Having a side-job as a techno DJ who mostly plays hypnotic stuff makes me appreciate all the parallels between this record and the stuff I play, as it might be one of the very few metal records that puts me in that same exact mindspace as the 8 minute long loopy tracks I like to play. An absolute masterpiece which I believe will one day be seen as one of the most revolutionary metal records ever.

Album Rating: 5.0

And having said that, if anyone has recommendations for other metal records that lean quite heavily on long form and repetitive, hypnotic tracks, feel free to drop some!

^ Great analysis, and I agree re: how hypnotic the album is. As I said in the previous page, it puts me in one hell of a trance (especially during those slow guitar bends)

also great comment Kinetic22, i agree. Long and hypnotic songs? Well post metal like cult of luna would come to mind, or maybe some funeral doom but thats about it.
