well,, i just trawled back quite a few pages to find this!! ..
right ,, i can understand cradle of filth being on there cos they are shite!! first album rules, the rest just gets progressively worse as it goes on, resulting in being crap right at the end!!
dimmu borgir aint overrated i dont think , i think they are ace, and shit all over a lot of the mainstream BM bands ..
BUT!! how the FUCK anyone can say Meshuggah are overrated is beyond me, Meshuggah are quite possibly, along with Dillinger Escape Plan about the most talented band on the planet, and are far UNDER-rated if anything .. they changed the face of most of the technical metal around the world, adding in rhythms that most people still cant actually comprehend
they completely changed how i perceive music in the first place about 8 years ago, and still continue to do so.. fredrik thordendal is without any doubt the best guitarist around, along with alexi laiho of children of bodom (a band i dont like but can appreciate their immaculate talents)
albums like "destroy erase improve" are one off albums that very few bands can emulate, and not even a great deal of people can even understand, such is the genius and complexity behind every note and riff and pattern ..
i suggest you go back and take another listen to meshuggah (and also learn to spell the name correct) ..
and no, im not being pedantic, i am trying to make you realize that no matter how much people rate meshuggah, they can never over-rate them!!
