Describing this music to those who haven’t heard it is difficult, but the machinelike nature of the band’s sound cannot be overstated – very few bands have the ability to so perfectly synchronise their instruments into such an annihilating wholeness, but such is Meshuggah’s compositional and instrumental skill that the various out-there time signatures come together in a compelling and headbangable groove that more than a few inferior bands have failed miserably to copy. ![]() They’ve never released two albums the same, but the leap here was staggering, moving beyond slightly clunky Thrash and towards a tight, mechanical groove that absolutely crushed everything in the Metal scene when it was released in 1995.
