Other than that painful bit in the middle, it is actually a fantastic song. Good call

I agree, that album is amazing.

Thankyou
Although I still wont be trolling any Caravan threads anytime soon though
I'll leave that to you if you want

its been a long long time, but I used to really like DEI, Chaosphere is actually the last Meshuggah album I heard, I also really liked that Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects album maybe even more than Meshuggah...

my apologies.  I will try not to take anymore bait henceforth....

Since the mid-nineties, I read the name of Meshuggah in a lot of magazines, but, each time I heard one of their songs, I couldn't "get in it". In fact, I never dared to listen to a full album, as I didn't really like the few tunes I could hear.
Needless to say, I'm not about to say anything definitive about them. Which album should I listen first, knowing I used to headbang at the records of Biohazard, Pestilence, Coroner, Voivod, Death or Sepultura when I was a teenager?

If you want to insult me why don`t you just PM me.  This just demonstrates how uncultured you are in front of the rest of the members..Lighten up and don`t take anything here too seriously.
