Meshuggah - Catch 33

[Manbient]

yeah so this is the best metal album of the last 5 years and IANDORK DOESNT LIKE IT BECAUSE HE'S QUEER

let's all laugh at Ian for thinking it's too repetitive.

 

[avi]

send me a copy plz

 

[Manbient]

I suggest you use the, uh, internets.

 

[Josh Seipp]

while you're at it send me a copy too

 

[deadair]

me too

 

[Firedwarf]

wow, this is pretty good

 

[inkybmistro]

I like it a lot! I'm not really sure why some of these songs are divided up the way they are though...

 

[Manbient]

not sure either. But it's just one song anyway, so when i buy the album, if i put it on my PC i'll just merge all the tracks.

Though I haven't heard the whole thing, I just can't get into the parts I have heard. Actually, I can't get into much of anything Meshuggah has done in a long time. It seems they've more or less abandoned any musicality they once possessed in favour of playing two or three alternating notes in the most awkward time signatures possible. Granted, it could be one of those albums that's much more impressive as a whole, but I just can't imagine that being the case here.

i really like how the vocal melody from the track "Minds Mirror" is repeated after the heavy part of "Sum"

i think those two are my favorite tracks...just because they're so different...the rest are incredible, mind you, but those are my highlights.

I'm not a Meshuggah fan at all (I do like that one song Aztec Two Step and Ritual I think?) but I really got into this CD immediately, so I dunno.

I like some Meshuggah but I think if you've heard a few songs then you've heard them all.

 

[Firedwarf]

A Song of Ice and Fire fan?

 

[Jon Snow]

A Song of Ice and Fire fan?

Yessir. My favorite fantasy series that I've read so far.

 

[Firedwarf]

Same here!

 

[inkybmistro]

Is it really better than the Chronicles of Narnia?

 

[Jon Snow]

Is it really better than the Chronicles of Narnia?

No contest. It single handedly saved the fantasy genre for me. Modern fantasy has become so repetitive with the hero goes on a quest to rid world of evil wizard. You should check it out. Author: George RR Martin First Book: A Game of Thrones. I've never read such realistic dialogue in fantasy or any genre for that matter. Great writing. I could go on and on.

Couldn't disagree more. Every album I've heard so far sounds like Meshuggah, but at the same time they each have their own unique vibe.

Haven't heard Catch 33 yet.

It's so damned repetitive. There are a few ok moments, though.

Ok, let me check them out some more. I haven't heard everything yet.
