"These guys are a tough listen and as always the views of many will be far apart on if you think this is "GENIUS" or "NONSENSE"

"As for the music itself, the best word for it is hypnotic. Meshuggah is, first and foremost, a rhythmic outfit. They intertwine a variety of rhythms together to create a unique, crushing atmosphere. Creating harmony and melody are not their concern. As such, this album was not meant to be listened to as set of separate tracks. Instead, the experience is going from start to finish without interruptions. As individual tracks, none of the songs are single entitys. But, if you put them in order, they weave a tapestry of mechanical destruction. It sucks you in, and you become transfixed by the rhythms. The expression, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” is applicable here"


Don't Worry!............Get It!
