Although they keep the formula pretty consistent, Meshuggah have always had a really unique sound for each album.

After the first single, I was worried that this would be 'Koloss' Pt. II. I loved Koloss, but wanted something a little fresh. This track makes me super excited for the new album.

They usually sound a bit different on each album this still has a sleepy, deliberate Koloss vibe. That's a good thing. Poor Jens sounds a bit rough these days tho

On first listen this sounds like a drum solo with classic Meshuggah chugs over the top. After a few listens this sounds like a track that is meant to be a bridge between the track before and after it. Every Meshuggah album has been a grower for me so I expect the same as this but it'll be worth buying for sure.

Definitely enjoying Born in Dissonance a lot more, it's a more conventional Meshuggah track but iit reminds a bit of Chaosphere and is catchy as hell.

Yeah, the drums are pretty nuts on this, but on first listen I thought it was okay. The song starts off okay, but doesn't really get my head banging till around the 2:00 mark, and then it's all good from there. Album will most likely destroy based on what I've heard.

Thought that the first half of this was awesome. Haake killed it on the drums and yeah, that riff ~2:00 splits teeth.
The second half was a bit 'eh'. The solo did nowt for me and the final riff I thought was really dull and kinda ill-fitting. Hope I warm to it.

Not really sure I know what to do with a 360 deg video. I looked up a little bit, than down a little bit, and then just started spinning in circles. It wasn't really fun.

DungeonBoy

to be fair, almost every Meshuggah song has very similar monotone vocals and open chug riffs. It's how they combine those with the drumming is what makes them interesting. Poly rhythms or bust. I can totally see how someone would find this band one dimensional, even if what they are technically doing is insane.

Just listening to his vocal delivery it's like each word is flat. Each phrase does the same thing: it feels tight in the throat and then opens... Every single thing he screams. I enjoyed Koloss but for some reason this is bugging me now haha.

I mean they are rightfully credited with creating a whole style of metal like MO said. It's not like they are claimed to be the best band in the world by everyone. They're just considered ahead of their time and full of very talented players, which is pretty factual.

I mean the dude is 50 so the fact he still sounds pretty good right now is impressive. It's definitely showing signs of losing stamina and strength like days of old but he's still pretty decent. I agree though, he can go another couple albums more I bet before we see it hit terrible levels.

They did create a sub genre of metal more or less. The problem is they haven't progressed in sound at all in the last 20 years. Also, their guitarist barely touches anything other than his two heaviest strings. The worst offense is that the vocalist screams the exact same note 95% of the time. I mean how many times can you make the exact same song before you get bored?

every time Meshuggah releases some new stuff and I hear Haake's drumming, it's like if he's Obelix, but he still drinks that magic potion, even if he doesn't need to really, because he had already fell into druid's cauldron of magic potion he was a kid
