Oh shiiiiiiiii

Of all the stuff I've read, this makes me the most excited. "We've always tried to change how we write songs to keep it exciting, but on recent albums we've also been moving further away from working together as a band. On this album, though, everyone is working together. Every day that we're in the studio, we'll play whatever song we're working on, record a demo version of it to analyze at home, and then come back the next day, talk about it and try to make it better."

Also being mixed by the guy that did DEI. !!

I couldnt believe how shitty they were being in answering fans questions in that chat

Hey guys! Double toast!

Tomas Haake did an interview yesterday for MSN.

Part One:
Part Two:

Hopefully I don't wreck my house when I first hear this album

leaked track: http://www.metalunderground.com/news/de ... wsid=77174

its really cool

What's wrong with the vox in your opinion? The mix? Because his voice is definitely changing.

Kinda not what I was hoping for. Maybe the rest will be better.

Good groove, goes on waaaay too long

Been listening to Fallujah's "The Harvest Wombs" and this track nao. I'm new to Technical Death.

I don't know, it feels like the tracks are not going off the ground. The base is solid, nice groove, there are some attempts to make something out of it, but it more or less remains the same.

Guess Technical Metal is just not for me.

anyway spook and dan are wrong this song is great!

OK just listened to it again, and I want a David Fincher directed video - a la . I think that's my favorite music video, 'cept for Sledge Hammer of course.

Pretty interesting discussion piece, even Chimp Spanner chimes in with comments.
The main thing I'm wondering is why it always takes them so damn long to come out with anything.

I'd imagine it's hard to stay prolific after being together for 20 years. I'm just glad they're able to run on a schedule that's comfortable for them.

I'm not into that "relevancy" argument. You could say that about any band that starts a trend. To say they are no longer relevant assumes that all this downtuned djent groove stuff is the same, and it isn't. Metal fans are so fickle.

I still have "concerns" over the new album, but I don't care that much. I'm just glad (and amazed) they're still together.

i hope the term DUNNN metal takes off...

I like I EP. There's some cool riffs in there, and the absolutely INSANE part of that song is kinda cool. I usually skip to like 5:30 into the song, and hardly ever listen to the end.

Obzen had some good solos IMHO. Combustion, Pineal Gland Optics and Dancers to a Discordant System(this one barely makes it in) all have solos I like. It's from Nothing, but one of my favorite solos from Fredrik is the one from Organic Shadows, and the groove after the solo is awesome.

I read somewhere in an interview that there was a "waltzy" song on the new album. I'm really interested to hear that song because I really liked the waltz-like groove from Dancers to a Discordant System (which is really the only good part of that song, let's be honest).

fredrik blues licks?? Haha I like it

KILLER!!!

After hearing the new track, it's pretty clear why we still need 'shuggah.

The groove at 3:48 (DO NOT LOOK DOWN) is some of the best I've from the 'shug in a while. LOL at all the nicknames people are giving them lately...

Fredrik's kinda reminding me of Guthrie Govan with that solo, something from Rhode Island Shred or something. I would categorize it as closer to bluegrass, but I could be completely wrong.

I'm actually just starting to get into Meshuggah. Very interesting band. A lot of chug riffs, but this stuff is SO out there. I can't believe what I'm listening to sometimes.

After listening to Do Not Look Down a lot (which is one of my favorite 'post-Nothing' tracks ever), I like the first track they released even more. Before, I thought Break Those Bones was a bit too long, but depending on its place in the album, it could be a cool atmospheric transition to something, and I can't wait to hear how it fits in.
