While 2006 had a ton of new releases that rocked, 2007 looks to have a smaller amount of new stuff (that matters), but it'll make up for the quantity with nothing but quality

Heh, to me it's quite the opposite. While 2006 had barely 15 extremely good albums, my wait list for 2007 is already at 30 albums when the year has barely started!

our musical taste, is quite... similar

I can't understand liking Meshuggah and not liking "I". Maybe its just because it was the firs talbum of theirs I loved though.

'I' and 'Chaosphere' are the only ones I truely got in, and loved. I got bored of Catch 33 half way in though.

Catch 33 is best to me. By quite a distance.



"I" is good but it has slumps. Some of theoir best shit is in there though, like that fuckin insane ascending riff just past the halfway mark and the glorious doom outro from 17:00

[djskrimp]

But I am- I mean "I" is a masterpiece! No album Meshuggah has ever made, or will ever make, will be a masterpiece. Just me- "I"!


Confusing title though

masterpiece, from wiki: Nowadays this term mostly refers to any work of art that is considered extraordinary. In a stronger sense, it can refer to what is considered an artist's best piece of work.

I dunno, since they aren't done yet, I suppose they haven't made their masterpiece yet.

You, biert, are your parents' masterpiece...and we love you for it....

"all meshuggah is good meshuggah"
my least favourite surprisingly is Chaosphere
even though i have it tattooed on me.
oh well
did anyone know that Meshuggah means "crazy" or something?

did anyone know that Meshuggah means "crazy" or something?

Yeah, in Hebrew or someting, right?

EDIT:

Found this in the Norwegian fan club I'm in:

"Meshuggah is the feminine form of the word "crazy" in singular form, in medical terms (namely insane, not wacked)"

I... think that translation's about right

Oh, and the language was Jiddisch I think. Correct me/us if wrong.

I'm using the "weaker sense", referring to "any work of art that is considered extraordinary"
Also, I just know that Meshuggah could never make anything better than me- "I".

Besides, the fact that they aren't done yet, doesn't mean they haven't made their masterpiece yet. An artists first work could turn out to be the masterpiece.




In Dutch there's a word "mesjogge" (sounds quite similar to Meshuggah) that means crazy.



PS: I have a brother and sister that are much more perfect than I am

Oh, and the language was Jiddisch I think. Correct me/us if wrong.

I think that's right. In like grade 10 I had to read this short story about this lesbian and she spoke that language and that's where I learned what Meshuggah meant... before I even heard the band

What, no love for Contradictions Collapse? It's a hard-rocking-all-out-bombastic-thrash-a-thon!

They are all good though, in their own special ways. Awwww.
