Yeah "I" is fantastic, I am actually playing it now to scare away my little sister, but yeah it takes a bit of time to get used to (or the fact that I play drums so that's what I admire) but I see rhythms as just as musical as melody.

DEI's a great album but I didn't think it'd be everyone's favourite on a prog site, heh. I much prefer the Catch 33 direction they've taken.

Yes...you are right... it seems melodies is something math rock are not interested in

I guess...I dont know, its one of thouse bands I want to get into but just cant.
The singing, the riffs, the ultra heavyness...also, (and this might be wrong, as I have only heard a few songs) it all sounds pretty much the same for me...and to top it all, they give me headaches jejeje

But as I said before, I really respect them for their aproache to music

It's not just a re-release ... they re-recorded the guitars as well. They claim that it sounds much better now (and more like they wanted it to sound like in the first place, but their producer disagreed).


I have the re-release,all the bass parts and guitar parts are re-recorded(with 8 string guitars).I think it sounds much better than the original release,I can hear a huge difference.

The songs on any one Meshuggah tend to be rather "samey", so I'd recommend getting "I". I think it's their most diverse effort, and sounds like several of their albums mixed into one 20+ minute epic.
