I'm just starting to get into them right now. I plan on buying their None EP off iTunes probably next month (I don't really want Contradictions Collapse). Which of their albums do you guys recommend?

Dago · **Posted:** Sat Oct 14, 2006 10:38 pm

My favourite album by them would probably be
Destroy erase improve but i also really like Nothing and basically everything they have released... Took me some time to get into them truly-

I = the best thing they've done

Catch33 is the only actual album of theirs I listen to... I'm not totally sure why, but their "normal" songs have never interested me much.

I recommend you spend your money on something else. They're boring, repetitive, and so overrated it's not even funny.

Yeah Nothing is my favourite of theirs. Better than I and Contradictions Collapse, although the ones that are supposed to be their best (DEI, Catch 33) are the ones I don't own :unsure:

the few songs i heard were pretty crappy, but then again i didn't think i'd like them from the beginning.

"War" though is fucking awesome, i have to check out that Rare Trax album some day

Dago · **Posted:** Sun Oct 15, 2006 10:51 am

Meshuggah's drums are very unique, i love them.

Adam · **Posted:** Sun Oct 15, 2006 3:15 pm

Destroy Erase Improve would be your best bet to start out with, but Nothing is definitely their best album and my favorite. Their re-releasing it at the end of this month with a bonus DVD.

Oh, and Ken, just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's overrated. :mad:

I got Catch33 and couldn't really get into it, I'll have to check out their older stuff

Well, to me it's overrated. I usually avoid discussing bands I dislike, but the reason why I even choose to mention this is because I can't understand why this band gets so much praise! There are tons of bands that I don't like that I can understand why some would like them; yeah, they're cool for [insert whatever style here], but not my thing, etc.

The thing with Messhugga is that I just don't hear anything remotely good in anything they do. And yes, before anyone suggests it, I have listened to everything countless times trying to connect with it. I just cannot do so on any level. Rarely there is a band that does this to me.

So yeah, I find this band to be utterly overrated in every sense.

Dago · **Posted:** Sun Oct 15, 2006 7:50 pm

I also find it a little bit overrated at times, but still i think it's a band that plays a unique style of metal and plays it good.

You also think that originality is overrated. :rolleyes:

Actually I'm pretty sure someone has... you'd just need to look at some weird porn to find it.

you missed my point, of course someone has, it was a stupid example.

noodles · **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2006 5:51 am

Yeah, I get your point and I agree with it that originality for the sake of originality is pointless.

Hardly. I could rap over myself slapping my dick against some wind chimes, that would be original, but it would also suck.

noodles · **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2006 8:12 am

Neither of the examples you guys gave would be original, they would just suck. They also have very little to do with what I was saying but oh well.

BWAHAHA!! That would hurt dude!

I can understand your problem with Meshuggah. When people hype up a band, it makes them suck that much more if you don't like what you heard.

I guess I would attribute my love of Meshuggah to my love of indie rock like Shellac, etc. that showcase the "math rock" style, but I can definitely understand how some won't like them.
