Dunno if anyone has made a review yet for this but I'll write one just in case no one else has..
The swedish band Meshuggah are known for their unique style of playing off-beat, which makes it extremely hard to headbang to
. The drum pattern of all songs is 4/4 (the drums were programmed, as the drummer Thomas Haake did not have time to record his drumming) and the guitar goes in pretty much any other rhythm than the drums.
The album is an experimental album which can be noticed after listening through the first couple of tracks. In its essence, Catch 33 is one big song as each track continues into each other and merges..kind of like a mixtape for a metal band.
Esoteric lyrics, odd polyrythmics and 8 string guitars are a trademark for Meshuggah, but this album takes these 3 factors to a whole new level. Listening to the album puts you in a haze of thoughts and once the last track "Sum" ends you feel like you just been mind-fucked.
What is good about this album you might ask? Well Meshuggah have succesfully made an album which fits into no specific Metal genre, it's so unique that it very possibly fit into a completely new genre. While some tracks are just full of the most annoying and weird noises you will ever encounter such as "Mind's Mirror", other tracks are brutal, head-first mind-blowing that will surely get your adrenaline pumping.
If you're into melodic metal, you would probably not be able to stand more than 5 seconds of Meshuggah. If you're more open to new, weird, and heavy music, then you should try out Meshuggah.
Catch 33 is an album you would have to listen to several times to fully appreciate it. But at the same time, listening to too much Meshuggah is like eating too much chocolate..you get sick of it after a while.
