Today's review is Meshuggah's The Violent Sleep Of Reason (Djent, Progressive Metal)



Clockworks: Holy ****! No slow builds, we're getting right to business with a killer riff. Djent is sounding just awesome. Screams(or growls? not sure which it is in this case) are not as brutal as I'd hope for with this riff. But still amazing ripping track.

Born In Dissonance: Ok. More Djent. Still badass riff. Is there a new vocalist? I remember Meshuggah having a much more badass vocalist.

Monstrocity: Ok. We are getting a bit more technical here. Definitely using what seems to be more riffs. Definitely ripping. I hope the vocals aren't like this for the whole album. And a sweet solo!

By The Ton: Ok. Let's slow thing down! Very nice... and we're back to the djent. I was thinking they'd do a song that took a break from this. It's getting kind of tiresome. Wait, we have a build! OK, let's hope the payoff is worth the build. Still building. Give me something good! That was a let down...

Violent Sleep Of Reason: Have I really gotten so jaded that I can't enjoy some pure djent? Ok. I think I've gotten complacent with this. They have nothing more to deliver.

Ivory Tower:^ ... Wait! What's this? A badass solo! Ok. I can jam to this. No don't stop! Come back solo! I want more! Damnit!

Stifled: Did someone say more Djent? No! Now stop and do something else! Ok... solo isn't as good this time. Oh, nice out ro. Nice to give me a break from the djent.

Nostrum: They worked that intro into this song for the intro. Wow! Excellently executed. This song is better. So much better! Yes! Ok. And we're back to generic djent. Badass solo and the track has redeemed itself!

Our Rage Won't Die: And its back to djent...

O, O, O'reilly's ****ing ads.

Into Decay: Holy ****! Now this is the Meshuggah I remember. This so amazing. Fingers are crossed that the vocalist is more brutal in this track... nevermind. Though the riffing is still fucking epic. This track is what the album should've sounded like.

Final thoughts. Boring album, very redundant. The last track and the guitar solos are what saves this album.

Give Meshuggah time. I didn't like them either at first, with their repetitive riffs and vocals, but if you're like me you'll eventually be won over by their relentless heaviness.

You should review the Body Works EP by Megosh and/or For The Dearly Departed EP by The Funeral Portrait


also you should let me down something on your album

You know, I think if I heard any of those tracks randomly on the radio, I'd have loved it and jammed out to it. But hearing them repeatedly with little to no difference is what made me dislike it.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

Uhhh... first I have to know what you can do. Then I need to hear an example of it. And if I like it, I'll pm you with details for what I want when I'm ready... If I'm ready.

I mean Tristan is getting a spot cause he's a talented drummer. I haven't talk to Ki about it yet, but he might get a spot cause he's talented with synth based music. I'm not letting just anyone on it.
