I think this was the blueprint sound of Meshuggah for years to come.

These guys absolutely whooped ass live. I had seen them once before but seeing them once familiar w all the albums is truly special

Got a video of that myself. I had never seen a metal band with a light show as intricate as Shug either. Obviously the music is the most important thing and they sounded perfect but it complimented the set/music so nicely

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah it did. I think I heard someone say that their lights guys just tours with them full-time, and that's what he does for a living. I hope that's true, cuz it's awesome if it is. That person is worth every penny they've ever gotten from shugs tours

Absolutely agree about the light show, and this was already true a couple of years ago so I think they must indeed have a permanent connection.

MUST I DIE TO ESCAPE THE SCANNING EYES OF DEEEEAAAAATH

Didn't Haake assist with developing the light show for their live performances? Dude has his hand in everything within this band. Drummer/songwriter/lyricist/light tech...hell of a resume.

Album Rating: 4.0

They have a light guy that’s a member of the band. I can imagine Haake helped direct it but the light guy has held it down for them for many tours.

Orange supremacy. You're a fool if you think otherwise (yeah, that includes the band, lmao).
