Cannot get into this for the life of me. I hate the headspace they are in on this record. I love the midsection in Clockworks

This is easily my least favorite 'shug, but it still has its moments. To me, it just sounds like the band are on autopilot for a good chunk of the album

From what I can tell Koloss and Violent Sleep seem to exist as more of a yin/yang where both albums look to expand a bit (but only a bit) further from Meshuggahs near excessively complex focus on easy to digest but v multifaceted rhythms in extremely varying forms, with Koloss trying to imbue a bit of tribal ambiance into the mix while Violent Sleep looks a bit more to speed and riff complexity ala a not quite as good Obzen style. I think I prefer Koloss but I for sure dig just how meaty some of the tracks her get i.e Clockworks, the t/t, Our Rage Won't Die.

Clockworks, Dissonance, title track, Ivory Tower, and Stifled all fucking RIP and are easily my 5 favorite tracks on here
The lack of mention for Ivory Tower is a travesty, fellas

In my head canon, obZen feels like an elaboration of Chaosphere’s energy and Koloss is the same for Nothing. TVSoR ends up feeling like C33 - a synthesis of those energies, but where C33 was linear and conclusive, this kind of spirals out into some kind of a sprawling imposing lurking thing (Clockworks being intense, getting more and more groovy, into the complexity of the title track, spiraling out again to Nostrum, until we end up in the chunky straight ahead energy of Into Decay)
the way the guitar solos are structured are my only hint that this spiraling metaphor might be anywhere close to what they had in mind lol
BUT ITS EVOCATIVE 👀

Through spectacles tuned to infinity
You will see our coming for a thousand years
You will know us then for what we truly are
The realization of every fear

I gotta relisten to Koloss.
The tribal elements you mention are really striking and playing around in a pretty unique space for Meshuggah to play around in, but I remember feeling like it never fully delivers on its interesting premise in a satisfying way.

Koloss suffers a number of issues on the surface but secretly has a number of the band's best songs (Swarm goes dummy hard)

“I revisited the album and upon reflection I'm dropping the score down to 2.0. Just one of the most disappointing, redundant, mind-numbing records I've ever listened to from a band this talented. No envelope is being pushed here, just repetitive monotone bullshit ad nauseam. Genuinely and definitively their weakest record. Never thought I'd agree with fantano about a metal record but here we are.”
I’m reposting this because at some point in the future, near or far we don’t know, we will laugh with Art when he realizes how bad it was.
Look different strokes and all, but how you can give an album with the two opening tracks such as these a 2 is straight up embarrassing lol
