Yeah I’m not bothered by the straightforward nature of this at all, it’s that even judged as straight rippers this is not special. Is it good and enjoyable? Absolutely but I wouldn’t go around touting this as an amazing record everyone should check out

Out of the other corner of my mouth though I would recommend Make Me Forget You to everyone. That one is special

"Name another band that has been this consistent so long in their career."
Meshuggah."
Beat me to it. Would add, inter alia, Cult of Luna and The Dillinger Escape Plan (both do not have a single weak album across their discographies which each cover periods of about two decades).

meshuggah have been nowhere near as consistent. their last 3 albums are completely forgettable at best. they’ve been coasting off of their innovative early material for a while now and thordendal sounds completely checked out. the last album of theirs that I genuinely think is excellent is Catch 33 and a lot of their production jobs are straight ass.

Perhaps a controversial viewpoint, but The Violent Sleep of Reason (Meshuggah's penultimate record) is the best in their discography by some margin. Neither Immutable nor Koloss is much worse than Chaosphere (even if these records do not match Nothing or Obzen in my view).

koloss is nowhere near the level of chaosphere. I won’t even entertain immutable being near it, that just feels like bait.

Chaosphere is amazing agreed, but Koloss is definitely close to its level.

Meshuggah is way more consistent than Converge and it’s not even close

i’ll just also add that it feels more ‘experimental’, and definitely more authentic to me, for Converge to release an album like this at this point their career. distract and divide, then to feel something is converge firing on all cylinders to me. nobody does it like this. it’s all about the execution.

@Nash - That I can definitely agree with.

meshuggah aren’t even a consistent quality within their own discog, let alone amongst the greats. saying meshuggah are inconsistent is a lukewarm take: just look at their ratings, unless everyone else is wrong of course.

That is incorrect lol.

how is it incorrect? their last 3 albums don’t hold a candle to the 4 albums released after contradictions collapse. it’s not like I’m alone thinking that, you can look at the user ratings here and rym to back that up.

Reinforcements have arrived only to find hawks’ corpse defiled by the naysayers
“That's virtually impossible when No heroes has songs like t/t, Grim Heart/Black Rose, Plagues, Orphaned and Bare My Teeth, there's nothing remotely close to those songs here”
au contraire, literally every song here is better than those fam, and yes this is also better than Axe to Fall.
Tbh those aren’t even the best songs on No Heroes, had you brought up Lonewolves or Trophy Scars then we could’ve had a conversation
