Title: Astounding Talent...
Product review: For this release, Meshuggah has resorted to a more primal approach. Leaving behind the softer vocals (yes, singing!) of None and Contradictions Collapse, and vastly speeding up the hard hitting riffs from Destroy, Erase, Improve, Meshuggah has created a shorter masterpiece of modern music. Each song is intense, with no breaks in the madness (their name DOES mean Crazy in Yiddish/Hebrew), unlike previous efforts. Listening to Meshuggah is like listening to one gigantic instrument with vocals added in, instead of four instruments + singing. The tempo changes, the solos, the rhythm, are astounding in their complexity. Having taken their music to its logical conclusion, i find it hard to see where Meshuggah will turn next for a fourth full length album... If you're looking for intelligent, amazingly talented heavy metal, look no farther!
