Summary: Now this truly is a classic.
Comment: I'm a brand new fan of this band so I admit that they may have released some better records prior to this...I wouldn't know. All I know is that this is the absolute best death metal record I have ever heard asside from maybe only one other (by the band Death). I love this album...it is so dark, serious, and genuinely technical. These guys are real muscians. Wow!!!! I'm addicted to this album. Incredible muscianship!!!!

Summary: Meshuggah out does them-selves yet again
Comment: This record it the most brutal thing i have ever heard in my life. Most reviews say it's a step backwards to Meshuggah's old sounds and they are kinda right, but more wrong lol. Let me explain, upon first listen it feels like Chaosphere or Destroy Erase Improve, but after each listen you realize this is the most interesting, challenging and heaviest record they have ever made. Imagine taking Destroy Erase Improve and multiplying it by Catch 33 and that's kinda what you have, but with a pinch of something new.
Combustion and Pravus are the heaviest songs on the record, and the song Bleed makes my feet hurt just thinking about being able to keep up with the double bass of drummer Tomas Haake, who also provides all of the amazing lyrics to the record, "Ripples ascend to the surface of my eyes; their red pens drawing at random, at will; a myriad pain begotten in their wake; the bastard spawn of a mutinous self.
Overall, this record is Meshuggah at their finest. Where in the past their music seems to attack you on three dimensions, Obzen adds a fourth. It may take a listen or two to grasp the full concept being that there is just so much happening at all times, but trust me, this record is worth it.

Summary: One of their best and most surreal outings
Comment: If you think DEI can't be topped than you might be wrong after popping in ObZen by Meshuggah. This surpasses all techincal limits the band ever faced. Now toiling in the chaotic realm of eight string guitars Meshuggah will allow you to enter the most abstract and surreal auditory landscapes with ObZen. I remember being out of my mind high listening to Chaosphere for the first time and finally accepting the unbridled mayhem that IS Meshuggah. I must not lie and admit upon first purchasing Chaosphere back in early '99 I was unable to understand the polyrythmic artistry and threw the album aside to dig into my Deftones records. Now I can say I listen to Meshuggah more than the Deftones and any other bands I have been into from the past. Meshuggah is not only for the metal heads when I saw them live their audience attracted a diverse lot people who probably weren't into extreme metal. If you want to check this band out for the first time ObZen is entry level yet advanced for any music listener. A standout track off this album which is almost the fastest song they've written is "Pravus", check it out I saw them play it live.

Summary: Abject Savagery
Comment: This is the only band I have heard since Metallica that I think has significantly advanced the metal genre.
That statement probably pisses people off, but has anyone else made anything this fresh and effective?
Tool, maybe. But, Tool was not a leap in intensity from Metallica.
"Bleed" is the most savage song I have ever heard.
Love it. This album should come with a Surgeon General's Warning.

Summary: Outstanding-they are back!
Comment: The best album since Nothing-good variety, not all the songs are similiar, which is a good thing-their talent shows here!
