...Meshuggahs ability to make this soulless, emotionless music speak to the listener. Listen to the entire CD and be wowed that it never feels remotely same-y, despite every track working from a similar sonic palette For new listeners, doing that last might not be immediately possible, as Meshuggah doesnt sound very varied on any of their...

...Meshuggahs debut album called Contradictions Collapse was a technical/ fusion thrash album that sometimes seemed to be complex for the sake of it while their second album Destroy Erase Improve was a much more mature album in every sense. Destroy Erase Improve stands as Meshuggahs most easily accessible album ( this statement is only true...

Meshuggahs music has shifted thru out the years. Starting as a death/trash metal band with Contradiction Collapse and Destroy Erase Inprove they moved into more tech direction stripping their music from any resemblance of melody and playing as fast as (un)humanly possible with Chaosphere they then tuned down their guitars and slowed their tempos...

...Meshuggahs previous works, but its certainly not copying off all of them. Now onto the songs 1. Combustion We start with a simple guitar line (well, simple for Meshuggah) for a few seconds before being crushed and dragged kicking and screaming into the song. And like a previous reviewer has said, we get treated to what is, oddly enough, an...

THORDENDAL'S SPECIAL DEFECTS - Sol Niger Within (1996) [rated 5/5 by ProgBagel]

2008-01-11 22:39:01 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Meshuggahs albums has increase by an exponential amount and is very complementary to the music on this album. There are also many things that Meshuggah would never use on here like a church organ, saxophone and keyboards. The vocals are also much different, almost to a point of laughable because Tomas Haake, the drummer of Meshuggah, does...

...Meshuggahs debut album. An album I have owned for many years. I had heard about Meshuggah and seen commercials for Contradictions Collapse in some of the metal magazines I read at the time. This version has the None EP included In time I have come to appreciate Contradictions Collapse more, but it will never be my favorite Meshuggah album....

...Meshuggahs debut album. An album I have owned for many years. Since 1994 to be exact. I found the LP in a second hand store and fell for the apocalyptic cover art. I had heard about Meshuggah and seen commercials for Contradictions Collapse in some of the metal magazines I read at the time, but never got around to buying the album until I...

Meshuggahs second full length album is a real classic in the tech metal genre. The improvement since their debut Contradictions Collape is massive. I found the debut good but a bit too directionsless and at times too complex for the sake of it. Since then Meshuggah released the two EPs None and Selfcaged which was more simple, groovy and most...

...Meshuggahs signature sounds here in a mini-epic of amazing structure! It is entirely distant, mechanical, and intense; that does not change. Another pinnacle Meshuggah composition. Flawless. 10+/10 Conclusion: This is NOT for the faint of heart. I cant say that too many times. Oddly enough, I am not a huge metalhead at all, in fact I usually...
