It's really hard to write a negative review because you're gonna pick up a lot of flak for it but this was well-written. Pos'd.
I do, however, disagree with you.

Respect. You made your thoughts on the album clear, but you gave it a "intimate" feel a bit too much imo. Almost like you wrote it just to justify yourself.
Take it lightly, just my two cents.
Again, respect. haha

Yeah, that was kinda the point. A lot of people were asking why I didn't like this, and so I wanted to use this review as sort of a response.
But yeah, thanks man :]

"Obzen sounds as if it wasn't recorded by a band, but rather an assembly line of musical parts"
This is EXACTLY what draws me towards it.

Well, Obzen sounds pretty gnarly anyway. It's pretty mechanical yeah, but everything Meshuggah is.
And it's awesome that way. The sound of an autistic cyborg on heat.

absolute trash he calls it...
I don't think the album sounds cold and calculated. I think the atmospheres they create are lush and enveloping. I guess you can call them whatever you want and give it a random score. Also, you say the polyrhythms on Bleed aren't particularly interesting, to who? Look in YouTube, there's thousands of videos of drummers trying to compete that they can get it. Those triplets were revolutionary and got A LOT of attention.

your post basically boils down to 'reviewer says x opinion, i think y opinion, therefore HE IS WRONG'

"Everything sounds too calculated, too artificial, too cold"
Well, since we're talking about a band that WANTS to sound like a cold robotic artificially intelligent army of deadly machinery, that shouldn't be unexpected at all. Don't get me wrong, I agree with some aspects of this review but it is undeniable that this album contains some of the best songs written by Meshuggah. Combustion is arguably the best Meshuggah opener, Bleed is technicaly stellar and never gets boring, Dancers To A Discordant System has some great atmosphere, Electric Red and This Spiteful Snake also rule hard, the rest is just ok but I don't find it boring.

i accept i'm not really knowledgeable of this genre of music, but i don't see how you can differentiate songs on this album for the most part - i mean, in what ways would you say electric red, which you named as a highlight, is better than, say, pravus, which you didn't? don't they sound basically identical in structure and musical ideas?
|
| |
Pravus is actually a good song and I forgot to mention it. However, listen to Obzen (the song) for example, even the beginning of that track is uniteresting and there's really no build up whatsoever into something better. Electric Red has a great build up and keeps getting better and better. I wouldn't call it unpredictable, but there are enough tempo changes to keep the song interesting to the listener's ears. This is obviously my opinion.
