I've always loved that they held that note for not 30 seconds. Not 31 seconds. But 32 seconds.
I'm 100% certain that was deliberate. Deliberately awesome.
There are other little '4th wall winks' hidden in both Catch33 and I.

let me just say you can not deny the sheer brutality of this song !!

This album is one of my favorites because you can literally hear how insane Devin was when it was written/recorded throughout the whole thing. The whole thing just screams "off my rocker". It's also stupidly heavy and pissed off. It definitely feels like Devin was getting some serious weight off his shoulders with it.

SYL + Meshuggah = no reason for Brooks to waste his time with Fear Factory

haha, if you actually said that without listening to the song thats awesome because thats basically what one of the verse riffs is not surprisingly. still an awesome song and video i think though.
edit: opinion changed; after a couple hours of bio studying while listening to the Animals As Leaders album its actually pretty cool and Meshuggah still are rubber band twang that is not cool.

Enemy, listen to Meshuggah's debut! If you ever liked "... And Justice" of Heathen's "Victims" , you probably dig that one too. And by the time you reached "Destroy.Erase.Improve", you'll have a different perspective on Meshuggah.
New Fear Factory sounds way too close to Divine Heresy. Especially their second album which is just pure, uninspired garbage. I'd take Archetype over that in every second.
Mid-era Fear Factory ("Demanufacture", "Obsolete") rules so much because Dino was much more of a riffer instead of a wanker back then.

I do love justice and victims but I don't see how meshuggah rubber band bouncing can reach anywhere near those thrash masterpieces. However I will check it out and report back later just in case I am missing out on something haha

Meshuggah, up to around Chaosphere, have been very much a different band compared to what you associate them with.
They started out as a relatively technical Thrash band and turned into this Djent monster step by step. There's no "rubber band" on the early records.

I LIKE JUICE!
Before the 8-strings, Meshuggah showed a lot of Metallica influence. By the way, I wouldn't really compare Meshuggah to Fear Factory or Animals as Leaders. Aside from being tuned low, I think they have very little in common, especially AAL.

Yeah I gave it a shot and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Still not really my thing (while there were some cool riffs a lot of them were just really dissonant and sounded awkward but I can totally see where the justice and victims comparison you said comes from) so I guess I just won't really like meshuggah... ever haha.
AAL I compared to Meshuggah just because of the bouncy low tuned riff stuff, they are a ton different yeah in that they're way more melodic and out there and progressive but they do share the same kind of bouncy low tuned rubber band thing going on in a lot of songs that meshuggah does. maybe it wasn't really a close comparison in retrospect
Demanufacture remains a classic though. Definitely one of my top albums of all time, I would have to say.
