Hey there, where have you been you scruffy Aussie bastard? It's been boring without my friend. That sounds amazing by the way.

Just listened to the new Meshuggah album.

I have to say I quite like it. It's still not as good as their early material, but that era is long gone now. This is definitely an improvement on Koloss which I think is one of their weakest albums. I have to disagree with QTH saying that the groove is gone. I'd say this is 3x groovier than Koloss was! Did we listen to the same album? The cringe-named track "Our Rage Won't Die" may just be the grooviest shit they've ever written. "By The Ton" and "MonstroCity" too. On that note, did they hire Wayne Static to name these fucking tracks?

It's definitely an evolution of their sound, but there are still tons of sprinkles of all the albums from Chaosphere and up. Definitely gonna give it a few more spins.

 

[EchoForever]

good split, i definitely like the Teeth side better than what Barghest put out

 

[Talos of Atmora]

When I first heard Obzen, I like Combustion more than Bleed.

 

[nizzon]

Same here. That awesome opening riff basically got me hooked on Meshuggah.

 

[EspaDa]

It's definitely true. Combustion is one of their best songs.

 

[The Ozzman]

>listens to new Meshuggah

*groove intensifies*

Man I may like this more than obZen

 

[Nephilim96]

listened to the new Wormed a week ago. good stuff.

definitely behind on my new metal releases. lots i need to checkout

 

[Talos of Atmora]

The only album I really like that much is ObZen. With tracks like Combustion, This Spiteful Snake, the title track, and Dancers to a Discordant System, it really is their pinnacle in my opinion.

 

[Satanstoenail]

On that note, did they hire Wayne Static to name these fucking tracks?.

Considering he's dead, I'd say probably not.

I haven't listened to the new Meshuggah yet because I've really stopped caring about them. I'll get to it at some point. Looking forward to the new Car Bomb album much more.

This just came out yesterday, psychedelic Middle Eastern drone/prog is how they describe themselves, from Sydney. Really well done.

What fucking groove are you talking about?
No groove, no hooks, Its boring as fuck.

 

[EspaDa]

It's their best work so far. The only Meshuggah album I can listen to without getting bored.

 

[nizzon]

There is obviously something seriously wrong with my ears.

 

[The Ozzman]

Top albums so far this year? I know we're less than 2 months from the EOY lists, so mine may change since I ordered a few more for this year, but:

Abnormality
Meshuggah
Opeth
Devin Townsend Project
Megadeth
Metal Church
Obscura

Testament will probably be in the top as well

 

[Krow]

I would have to look to make a list but new Eternal Champion and Ghoul are top tier stuff. Just got my EC album yesterday but I've played it five times or so and it's just so fucking good.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

The new EC is thunderously fantastic, love it.
