    • @timh4595

      Yes never gets old. I picked this CD up back in 1999. Monumental milestone for the signature Meshuggah mathematical ingenuity in song structure and riff technique - after this was released they changed their approach to how they structure songs which you can hear on Chaosphere (1998) all the way until their latest - which in turn has had an incredible influence on 99% of metal you hear today. So in short, THANK YOU Frederik Thordendal, your musical contributions have a long lasting impact likely for many more years to come. As Devin Townsend says in his song Planet of the Apes "we all ripoff MESHUGGAH!". 🤘

    Damnit guys...this is the evolution of metal. I feel sorry for people who cannot aknowledge the passion and energy these dudes put into this. Friends would start laughing when i made them listen to this and they never got it. Especially in my country, Greece, people would be thinking monolithically in the sense that if you enjoy this kind of music you can only be a metalhead. But one can enjoy classical and pop music and still get goosebumps when listening to Meschuggah. So much emotion...

      +Dimitrios Papapavlou it's because people who never listen to the heavier stuff out there would find this crap. You cannot blame them though. I also grew slowly into metal and it's now my most preferred genre. But if you had me listen to this 10 years ago I only would have heard screaming and noise, no melody, nothing. Of course it's different for everyone but sometimes I instantly like a band I listen to and sometimes it takes a bit of time. It is true though that people start finding it weird that you can like other music besides metal and they get surprised lol. heck, I even like some justin bieber songs these days. overly commercial, underground. If I like it, I listen to it!

      my favorite guitar solo of all i've ever heard... and i have listened very very much different ones... - is from "I, galactus".

These polymetric grooves were everything to me when I was 17 and 18. Chaosphere was the most influential album of all time for me, and this record was always like a dessert / 2nd helping when I wanted more of those insane grooves. A very special era in metal.

      So true about it taking time to soak in, but once it does, it becomes a part of you. I really can't say the same about just about any other music I've heard in any genre. This is a masterpiece without any reservation. It is unlikely that Fredrik could surpass this which might explain the long delay for a part II.

    I love music to the point where I've always said that I do not have a favorite album. I listen to anything, from tibetan ceremonial music to noise, anything I can get my hands on.
    But this.. this is something else.
    I can listen to this album 3 times a day and not get bored of it. Since I have found this album about 5 months ago I have listened to this easily over 100 times and I still love it like the first time I've listened to it. I have never heard of a single piece of music that has been able to capture my attention for this long in such an intense manner even though I know of some strong contenders, this one takes the cake by a long shot.
    Thank you Fredrik, thank you Morgan and thanks to everyone else involved in the production of this, in my eyes, absolutely flawless piece of Art.

Now that my ear is more developped i can really enjoy that incredible sound. To think these guys did this in 1997 is even more astonishing because they litterally were pioneering a sound that would only start getting popular 10/15 years later. Such amazing musicianship and such an underrated album !

    We are of course fascinated by the essential unreality of the universe. What starts out as yearning soon becomes corrupted into a dialectic of distress, leaving only a sense of unreality and the possibility of a new understanding. The man alone facing to its own god-self, into the void of existence, where all and nothing is, for the being, of who think beyond "I think therefore I am" semiotics are mere, tetradimensional conceptions for the common mortals that should be deprecated.
    As spatial forms become clarified through frantic and personal practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the darkness of our existence. The endless oscillation of the universe. What starts out
    as vision soon becomes corroded into a cacophony of chaos, which generates the cosmos, at all scales of existence, a sense of failing and the inevitability of a new understanding. Temporal replicas become clarified through a clue to the inaccuracies of our future further to a more accurate representation of a more accurate representation of the god through the universe, and the being, defying the void.
    Is life the only form of sentient existence since we only define it by being so or were we wrong all along is the question only Celestia could answer, as my brain melts into a thousands of high energy particles across the infinity of the cosmos. it's a bit like that.

    Aliens come to Earth and dock their giant craft suspended above the desert. You can only play 1 song to communicate with them.
    The song: Sol Niger Within.

    He was SO MUCH AHEAD of his time, this stuff is trending now. 20 years after its release. Do you have any idea what this means?

      Straight up. I always mention when this was released, still blows my damn mind. I was a wee lad when this mastery was unveiled. Sorcerers, all. Pioneering af.

      I’m gonna show this album to people when I’m 60 and ask them to guess its age. Crazy to think this came out a year before I was even born

    This album is deranged as fuck. Meshuggah is aggressive but still methodical and calculated; this, on the other hand, is an absolutely masterful trainwreck. Thordendal is a true artist.
