I've been listening to Meshuggah's new album release, The Violent Sleep of Reason, this morning. The guitar work is pretty good, groovy, and kind of melodic and the drumming is fantastic, so yeah the musicianship is tight here. The vocalist is alright, but stays the same for the most part. Kind of meh-tastic.
This album seems like something that I would need to be in the mood for and there is very little if any breathing room. I guess the band is pretty go-hard-or-go-home all the time which means I probably won't be listening to them all that often. Hmm, I'll listen to it a few more times to see whether my opinion of the album grows or dwindles. This is the first album I've heard by them.
Track highlights: Clockworks, Ivory Tower, Stifled.
