There are enough longwinded reviews on Obzen detailing the intricacies of the music and lyrics, that I would rather keep this short and to the point. I have been listening to Meshuggah since 1998 - Destroy was the firt for me, and I have everything before and since. The common theme of Meshuggah albums, is that it can take YEARS to fully grasp and comprehend the music. Everytime I revisit one of the older albums, whether it is Chaosphere, Broken or even Contradictions, I find something new and find ...

Most people's attention span can't keep up with a band like Meshuggah. For the most part they are a musician's band. I love this album all the way through. Every song has something to say. Every rhythm is truly unique. Nobody is doing what this band does. They are in their own. I started out listening to this band by being introduced to Destroy Erase Improve. If you listen closely to the songs on that album you can hear what is to come with this band. On Obzen they take every awesome aspect of their ...

So, I loved Chaosphere (Meshuggah's '98 masterpiece where the sound from Destroy/Erase/Improve matured into a full-fledged metal death machine), I thought Nothing was pretty good (although I really still only listen to three of the songs off the record) and then Catch 33 disappointed me (yes, before you flick your nose at me I do understand it was a concept album, I just personally didn't find enough variance in it). Too many two-note or three-note licks with not enough rhythmic drive.
So ...

This is my introduction to Meshuggah, but I've ordered the rest of their CDs based on the excellence of this one. Like many others who have dug into Meshuggah, I've had to absorb their music over time to appreciate where they are and what they do. Needless to say, this isn't the kind of music that will survive a casual listen. Those looking for something immediately accessible, or at least more melodic, are advised to steer off and keep looking. For those who who can stick with it, and who appreciate ...

Meshuggah is not for everyone. My mom says that they should play it in Haunted House attractions to scare the crap out of people. On the other hand, I've heard it called "hypnotic", "sounds like dance music", "is just noise". It is dark, dense, claustrophobic, and melodically sparse. Meshuggah REALLY makes you work for your melody.
I have a very analytical mind and I cannot stop listening to Meshuggah. The rhythms, though all 4/4 are so complex that I hear many of them differently on each ...
