4.5 superb | resident sputbirb with fancy hat | November 1st 18 | there is no satisfaction greater than to listen to meshuggah on the commute home after a long day of hardships and look into unknowing faces who cant comprehend the rythmic values of a good shugg polyrythm while youre bobbing away in time with their sick beats.

3.5 great | GamamJ | October 12th 20 | Amazing. How a band can have such variety while basically steictly keeping to 1-2 notes is mind-boggling. The talent of Haake, Thorendal and the boys to not just keep up, but also write these ridiculous rhythms.... And the jazzy dissonant solos... Wonderful.

2.0 poor | Have you tried jamming Helcaraxe? CONTRIBUTOR | June 16th 17 | Some dude going 0-0-0-0-0-0-0 suddenly dive bombing like a kamikaze pilot into degenerate soloing for fifty minutes over fairly decent coarse shouts and "incredibly technical" drum patterns.

4.0 excellent | EasterInTheBatcave | June 9th 16 | "Corridor of Chameleons" and "Sane" both use the same fake fade out trick, "New Millennium Cyanide Christ" ends on a long fadeout, and the end of "Elastic" is just noise and then all the songs from the album played overtop of each other for the last fourteen minutes. Coupled with album's already short running time, those facts lead to Chaosphere feeling a little lazy. Still, there are some fantastic tracks ("Concatenation," "The Mouth Licking What You've Bled") and the band is as technically impressive as ever. Plus, the mechanical, soul-crushing atmosphere is effective.

3.0 good | Britch2tiger | October 25th 15 | If the length of the final track were to cut out that obnoxious middle section (and potentially the final third), I would be more comfortable giving this a 3.5/5... Best track: Corridor of Chameleons.

4.0 excellent | zaruyache | September 20th 15 | The entire album is chugged palm-muting and it's the most wonderful thing in the world. It's like getting locked in a cell next to a sentient angry bulldozer.

4.0 excellent | Fernando Alves STAFF | July 5th 12 | Band's natural evolution of their sophomore release. At this point Meshuggah already have established a solid and distinctive identity. Pretty solid effort.

4.0 excellent | nick0307 | June 29th 11 | As Jens Kidman says, this album is like a punch in the face. This is Meshuggah in their most typically Meshuggah-ish sounding album. The album as a whole is just insanely relentless from start to finish, in terms of speed, heaviness and rhythmic complexity. Chaosphere is extremely inaccessible for anyone that is unfamiliar with the band's well known intricate polymetric riff phrasing style. Much like other Meshuggah albums, rhythm is 100% the focus on this album. Every song is quite up tempo with Haake's signature 'snare-on-beat-three' drumming. With sparse, minimalist lead melodies; heavy, distorted bass; machine-like precise bass drum patterns; frantic barked vocals; grinding noisy hyper-speed polymetric 7 string guitar chugging. All of the songs sound much the same at first, but after a few (and i mean a few) listens, the album starts to grow on you. This album probably took the longest for me to get into of all of the Meshuggah albums. But it has eventually become one of my absolute favourites. This album is definitely best when listened to as a whole, rather than individual songs. Highly recommended.

3.5 great | FeralMemories | December 8th 09 | Not Meshuggah's best, but it's still Meshuggah, so it's a steller record.
