is there a better metal album this year than meshuggah - catch 33?

[NAD]

because if so i haven't heard it. show me another release this year that isn't just a rehash of what has come before, and i'll gladly try it out.

and after that, commence meshuggah bashing!

 

[Nate The Great]

Meshuggah was a definite number one until Akercocke's new one came along. I don't know which is better at this point.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Akercocke will probably surpass it for me with more listens. Only one other so far, "This Godless Endeavor."

 

[NAD]

that good, aye? well if you two dudes dig it i guess i need to check them out then.

The Ocean - Aeolian destroys it (to be released by the end of november) . Then again , I don't like Meshuggah except War and New Millenium Cyanide Christ (sp?)

 

[Dev]

Also : Deathspell Omega - Kénôse .

Antithesis of rehashing . yousendit coming.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

nile, taake, opeth, pelican, kylesa, bloodbath, moonsorrow....take your pick :Smug:

Is there a Metal album this year that isn't better than Meshuggah's "Catch 33"? Messhugah is the musical equivalent of a guy with erectile dysfunction masterbating; a whole lot of wanking, no pay off.

man, i'm so glad i'm smart enough to love meshuggah. i don't know how some of you dudes can wake up in the morning.

 

[NAD]

because if so i haven't heard it. show me another release this year that isn't just a rehash of what has come before, and i'll gladly try it out.

just as a reminder.

 

[dorian gray]

me likes Nile and Cryptopsy. in order to comment though, i think id have to hear every metal album released this year. right?

 

[jimbobhickville]

I love Meshuggah, but I haven't really gotten into the new one that much yet. Personally, I thought Nothing was a lot more unique and original, and better, too.

Not sure I could recommend something that isn't just a rehash, though. Most everything nowadays is at least a partial rehash of something older. Then again, Catch 33 is somewhat of a rehash of their previous material, so your point is moot.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Ohh yea, and most of Henrik's list is pretty fucking good stuff too. I guess their really were a lot of good relases this year (at least imo), more than I initially thought.

 

[lurch70]

just as a reminder.

so wait ... you are saying the new Messugah isn't a rehash of previous material?

That Akercocke is the winner so far ... surprised you don't like it NAD ... death metal, humor, proggy shit and killer bass sound.

and a crunch to boot

 

[NAD]

high quality ain't cutting it for me this year. i have enough death, black, thrash, gore, -core, poop, red, circular, whatever that i need something fresh and interesting.

i think comparing catch 33 to their older work is all well and good, but they've refined their schtick so much, and have added so many all new elements, that it's a pretty damn refreshing listen.

 

[lurch70]

Henrik Main ... flying the Blood Red Throne flag !!!

 

[lurch70]

did you really listen to the whole Akercocke disc?
