This is like metal's version of a rock opera. Think. the Who's "A Quick one..." just done by Meshuggah. 20+ minutes of crushing bliss. All Meshuggah is very heavy, but it all sounds a little different. This one song covers all the bases. I won't dissect it minute by minute like some other reviewers. I'll just say this- If I was on a desert island, and not even picking a whole album- just one song, this would be the one. Unbelievable drumming from Thomas Haake, Insane guitar work, and brutal vocals. ...

Meshuggah is world renowned for their head-splitting, gut-wrenching, Swedish Math/Death metal, and this song, yes thats right, song, proves the title of Meshuggah right.

Anyone familiar with Meshuggah, such as their albums Chaosphere, Destroy Erase Improve, and Catch 33 will love this song. I advise every metalhead to check this out.

with one caveat - if you haven't liked Meshuggah in the past then you won't now.
On the other hand, if you do, especially post DEI Meshuggah, then you will like this. It is just awesome. That is not to say it isn't flawed, it is. It can get repetitive, but you can tell they are really trying to do something new. It is like someone took Echoes by Pink Floyd, but retracked it in hell with a bunch of dump trucks playing the instruments (If this sounds like it would be awful, see the caveat ...
