it sounds like an album that concentrates on hypnotic repetition and maybe even ambience; that's my favourite side of Mesh, I want to put my headphones on and drift away, so I'm excited
From what you had said about the album, I am not surprised that there is nothing much groundbreaking on the album. In an interview, they had mentioned that they are toning it back and decided to lay down tracks that define Meshuggah as a whole. From that, I can expect more _of_ Meshuggah instead of _more from_ Meshuggah, if you get what I am saying. From the singles the had released, I am already loving the album.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 Wow.. you never have? I use to like them. Koloss is my only favorite Meshuggah album. I like some songs from other albums, but overall my interest in Meshuggah has dissapaited over time. I am going to check out this new album.
I've had the album for a month lol but I find myself liking the SONGS better than the album. It's too long, so if I just listen to 2-3 songs here and there I like it more
I have a hard time listening to any meshuggah album start to finish, mainly due to the vocals being so static and monotonous. It really beats you down after a few songs. Thanks for the review, im still looking forward to checking this one out.
I felt like this is a solid record but it didn't blew me away tbh, but, if i have to pick stand outs tracks, they must be Broken Cog and Armies of the Preposterous (prob their most wicked song since Pravus). the first and last full song repectively
Just a hell of an album, dont care if its derivative. Its amazing to be abled to bring the elements from their past albums and blend them so seemlessly. Every song has so much personality. Almost a perfectly paced album.
I've never been the biggest Meshuggah fan,I did enjoy their debut Contradictions Collapse,and their follow up EP None,and Chaosphere certainly had its moments,but aside from the odd few tracks here n there,I've not really dug a whole album by them for a long time .. I think they are one of those bands that I admire rather than enjoy.
I really liked violent sleep of reason. I am hoping I will enjoy this new one. 200 stab wounds shirt? Can’t really tell, but if so awesome. I loved slave to scalpel
I love all of Meshuggah's work and I'm sure this is no different. But seriously dude, please get a better camera and microphone. I enjoy your videos, but you always sound muffled, and I have to turn my speakers all the way up to hear your videos. And no, it's not my setup. All other videos I RUclips sound great.
I know dude I gotta upgrade lol just focusing my money on other stuff... I promise I have plans on getting a good camera and editing software so I can use my mics and stuff
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 Thanks for taking the feedback well. I enjoy your channel. Being someone who works with music myself I would recommend even running a high pass, normalize, or EQ filter over the audio tracks of your future videos. It really would bring out your voice and make it pop more.
*I am THAT thirst. Also, you say there are no memorable hooks on Jens' part, but the singles alone have awesome deliveries like "the great dismantler of our dominion" and the way he says "I am that thirst" before a riff kicks in.
The two things holding this album back for me are the instrumentals (besides They Move Below) and the general lack of speed and frantic feel to this album. That said Immutable is goddamn heavy. The production and general vibe of this record is dark and drudging and hopeless and repetitive. Very Catch33 just 17 years later hahaha. Cheers
All your complaints didnt bother me as soon as u refered to monstrocity as a standout track😂 so excited for the release! As its meshuggah being meshuggah im more then happy.
Yeah, I agree, this album seems to just coast along without many memorable parts. I have been disappointed with them since Violent Sleep of Reason (although Clockworks is awesome).
This really reminds me of Nothing, arrangements here are much less complex than the four albums that followed that album. It's nice to be able to just get into the music without the gears shifting every five seconds. Not that I don't love the complex stuff too!
What kind of untalented musician would listen and cover meshuggah songs while being sober? You gotta be on something and cover a song live or in synch to catch a glimpse. Regardless of crappy music, some crap music has defficulty, easy or not easy. I'm just talking nonsense here.
I agree with almost everything you said. For me, I'm fairly disappointed. There's definitely a couple moments or songs that I really like upon the first couple of listens... however, that feeling you described of no real standout moments is one that I feel strongly. I would say the songs seem to lack somewhat of an individual/unique character and seem to just blend together and feel draggy throughout as a result.
Over a month ago, Body Count announced that they had begun working on their eighth album, entitled Merciless. Once that album drops [which won't be for a while], you should do a Body Count album ranking!

It definitely is! It's just a tad bit long for my taste lol ADD situations

And this is exactly why I never got into them.
Yeah it's Meshuggah being Meshuggah! Nothing wrong with that, but I still gotta be critical in my review lol but its solid!
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 Wow.. you never have?

it'll grow on you, it always does.
Facts
I've had the album for a month lol but I find myself liking the SONGS better than the album. It's too long, so if I just listen to 2-3 songs here and there I like it more
One of your “complaints” is that it’s an album that’s consistently good.
I’ll take that 👍
Lol i know it's a weird issue... all good, nothing fantastic tho
New album is a 9/10 top 3-4 album in their catalog
I have a hard time listening to any meshuggah album start to finish, mainly due to the vocals being so static and monotonous. It really beats you down after a few songs. Thanks for the review, im still looking forward to checking this one out.
Definitely still a solid album!
Imagine listening meshuggah for vocals
I'm a big shuggah fan, and i really love the singles. Can't wait to listen to it honestly
Heck yeah!
I felt like this is a solid record but it didn't blew me away tbh, but, if i have to pick stand outs tracks, they must be Broken Cog and Armies of the Preposterous (prob their most wicked song since Pravus). the first and last full song repectively
Yeah I feel the same!
Just a hell of an album, dont care if its derivative. Its amazing to be abled to bring the elements from their past albums and blend them so seemlessly. Every song has so much personality. Almost a perfectly paced album.

Never enjoyed a single thing from them.
definitely a required taste! Took me a loooong time to get into them
Can’t wait to put my headphones on and hear it in full length with a sweet cigar and a good cognac.
That would definitely be a killer vibe!
I can see alot of ppl digging this more than you as their already is alot of ppl digging it a ton
It's not that I dislike the album lol Just as an avid lover of the band I was a bit critical.. still a solid Meshuggah jam
I really liked violent sleep of reason. I am hoping I will enjoy this new one. 200 stab wounds shirt? Can’t really tell, but if so awesome. I loved slave to scalpel
It is! Killer band lol

I dunno like it has some cool lines, but nothing as standout as other albums imo
The two things holding this album back for me are the instrumentals (besides They Move Below) and the general lack of speed and frantic feel to this album. That said Immutable is goddamn heavy. The production and general vibe of this record is dark and drudging and hopeless and repetitive. Very Catch33 just 17 years later hahaha.

Yeah I agree, a couple faster sonsgs would've really moved the record a bit more
All your complaints didnt bother me as soon as u refered to monstrocity as a standout track😂 so excited for the release! As its meshuggah being meshuggah im more then happy.
Yeah dude I don't dislike the album by any means lol just have to point out my issues even if they aren't BAD
I’m excited for it. As long as it is better than Violent Sleep I’ll be satisfied.
Yeah, I agree, this album seems to just coast along without many memorable parts. I have been disappointed with them since Violent Sleep of Reason (although Clockworks is awesome).
I absolutely cannot wait to see Meshuggah in September, I really hope they play i am that thirst
I'm seeing them then too!
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 AYYYY, Chicago?
This really reminds me of Nothing, arrangements here are much less complex than the four albums that followed that album. It's nice to be able to just get into the music without the gears shifting every five seconds. Not that I don't love the complex stuff too!
Definitely has a lot of the melodic tendencies of Nothing
You should review "Dream Widow", the new Dave Grohl thrash/death/doom metal album
I really enjoyed it!
U said catch 33 wasn't there best? Gtfo
k byyyye
It wasn't. Catch 33 is fine and all that but to say it's the best album in their discography is absurd.
Catch 33 is an artistic masterpiece fuk u mean
VSOR really didn't do it for me and so far from what I've heard Immutable is a return to form for Meshuggah.
I dunno their pretty similar to me lol
I’m sorry POJ but Mesuggah and bands of that type were never for me. I mean I respect them but it just doesn’t hit me.
I actually like a lot of djent but this band is so boring.
then why even comment
Nah I get it, definitely a required taste
How come you've heard it already?
Promo copy my dude
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 It's great 😍
Wheres my pair of jeans??? All i got is slacks.

I'd be stoked for new Body Count! Their last album ruled
