Today's review is Forterese's Thèmes Pour La Rebellion. (Atmospheric Black Metal)

Not sure what makes this atmospheric, but i definitely dig it. I listened to this while making pizza, and what a great album to make food too. I found myself operating at twice my normal capacity bobbing my head to the intensity. Definitely enjoy this album.

Favorite track: Not sure. The way I listened to this was different from the other albums I listened to. Those were all on spotify and this one was on youtube. Makes it a bit harder to tell what track I'm on.

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.
