Chaosphere sounds just as chaotic as you remember, Demon. Nothing stupid about it.

I personally think, even outside of groove/feel, this band is both deep and superficial at the same time if that makes sense. Like they “just chug” at the entry level but when you pick apart the polyrhythms (should you want to) you also uncover how they slowly and methodically (mechanically) change things slowly. It adds a lot more complexity to it than initially it appears. So the feel brings me in, but then subsequent listens tend to unfold tiny complexities that I may have missed before. It’s so gratifying. Like sometimes I’ll just focus on Haake (I am a drummer to be transparent) and hearing the little things he adds/changes/tweaks as the groove unfurls is so awesome

All of that said, until it clicks (sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it takes a while - for me it took a while) it doesn’t appeal for obvious reason. It wasn’t until one of their grooves on Catch 33 literally almost rewired my brain that I enjoyed them. After that I never looked back. Catch 33 is just one giant undulating groove that takes you down a rabbit hole. It’s phenomenal

Thanks mate! Big agree. I tried for years and couldn’t do it. Then one day I decided I was going to binge the discog and the Catch 33 groove sent me into a trance and I was hooked ever since

Regarding re-wiring one’s brain: the main groove in Straws and the “a twirling visual overload…” climax in Closed Eye Visuals rewired my brain back around 2008ish. Couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

Yes, it’s insane right? Like their grooves will literally change how you view music lol

speaking of rewiring brains... normally when you're learning a new song on guitar there's a frame of reference for everything (power chord progression here, familiar note progression there) but when I tried learning some 'Shugg I literally had to relearn guitar cause nothing was familiar. It was like learning a new language.

I cant remember looking forward to a show as much as I am for these guys and Cannibal Corpse in April. I admit that I didn't understand why CC would be the opening act but after seeing a few of Meshuggah's shows from recent times on youtube, i get it now. Corpse will give you the straight up no frills beatdown, and while these guys provide that as well, the stage production and visuals are headlining worthy.

"and the “a twirling visual overload…” climax in Closed Eye Visuals"
This might just be my fave Meshuggah moment of them all.
