Meshuggah has been keeping the
metal world at bay for almost five years as it waited for a new
studio album. Finally, we have it. Jacking their sound up a notch by
playing eight string (8!!!!) guitars, Meshuggah has given us another
album headbang to when we aren't using a calculator to figure out
what time signature they're playing in. Kicking off with the slow
chug of "Stengah", we are dragged into another world of epilectic
breakdowns, solos that sound like a malfunctioning video game and
timing you need a stopwatch to follow. This is Meshuggah at their
best. It's weird, but it's damn heavy. Other tracks like "Rational
Gaze", "Perpetual Black Second" and "Spasm" beat you into a coma like
a math teacher on crack. With a high profile slot on the Ozzfest,
many people will be checking out Meshuggah. When they get the album,
there WILL be people scratching their heads. But it shouldn't take
too long before the pure heavy underbelly of this beast overpowers
them.
