The New Meshuggah - obZen

[old user1]

Sooooo, I know it's been leaked, though I personally haven't d/led it. I'm a pretty big fan of Meshuggah, and I was just wondering if anyone here has heard the new stuff.

So, what's the verdict?

There's been some discussion on the subject in the Now Playing Thread.

Mostly on page 412: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/non-opeth-music-chat/189828-now-playing-thread-412.html

 

[i aint play this]

Amazing as always, the songs keep getting better and better...i'm currently raping Electric Red, pwnful track.

 

[Risquit]

Not a fan of leaked material, but my friend played it for me and it sounds amazing. Way more energetic than Catch 33.

 

[all_sins_undone]

i like a few tracks on the album, but other than that its pretty boring imo

 

[all_sins_undone]

btw 1:41 in pravus = most pwnful riff on the album

 

[funeralportrait91]

I did d/l it yes, but I'm gonna buy it when it comes out so...

Although I have yet to listen to it all, it's pretty more energetic than usual Meshuggah. Awesome stuff.

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

so excited for this...gonna be a good boy and wait though

 

[affinityband]

incredible album

 

[opeth_353]

It's good. Combustion is the most meh track imhoiirc. ObZen's first riff is fucking crushing.

I agree with the energetic comments.. Definitely some more pace to it.. And greater complexity in the riffing, melodically and technically.

 

[Agalloch]

I like Catch 33 a lot more. I can't get into obZen.

 

[BurningSky]

Pretty decent album.

And can i go anywhere without that moron Ron Paul getting in my face? Why would you brag about never restricting guns and not regulating the internet? Ridiculous.

 

[wankerness]

there are like 3 or 4 really tragically unattractive UM students who are big on ron paul and who apparently have no friends or family since they were in front of a shopping mall at 3 pm on christmas eve waving ron paul placards-on-sticks [RON PAUL REVOLUTION!]. it would almost be a boon if ron paul magically became president so he would end the federal student aid program, cutting off the fat blue haired girls source of food, forcing her to lose weight.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Meshuggah is as overrated as Metallica.

 

[i aint play this]

Both bands are so completely not overrated.

 

[Tubbs]

Meshuggah is as overrated as Metallica.

Awful taste.

 

[hibernal_dream]

It doesn't really say anything about his taste to say a band is overrated. Either he likes them, and thinks they are overrated because other people like them more than he does, or hates them and thinks the same.

 

[Tubbs]

I know. I just wanted to see his reply tbh :\

 

[antipunx13]

Awful taste.

Awful taste? just look at all those novels in his sig...he's obviously the most tasteful person on this board.

new Meshuggah album is awesome btw...

waits for reply

 

[Arasmas]

obzen fucking rules

the most immense crushers are the first song, bleed, and the end part of the last song
