Album Review

When the likes of Cannibal Corpse and Obituary came about and pleased every butt-rocking wannabe Satanist out there, a term such as "intellectual death metal" was only thought of as just an oxymoron. That was before Meshuggah came out and outsmarted all these suburban burnouts. Sure "Chaosphere" flaunts the flaming guitar solo every now and then, and don't forget their tendency of trying to come across as all dark and evil. But what Meshuggah have over all the carbon copy death metal acts out there is that they focus primarily on knowing how to play their instruments and segue tempo changes rather than trying to outspeed and outgrowl everybody. Seriously, each song will have one guessing on which direction the band is going to take next. Who would have thought that there would be a band that could respark a genre that was long thought overdone after the second Napalm Death record?

Customer Reviews

A machine... that's pissed off.

You could buy any of Meshuggah's albums and be amazed. But Chaosphere is clearly the pinnacle of their style. Certain bands pioneer a style of music, and one of their albums represents this style more than others. For Meshuggah, this album is Chaosphere. If you're an intellectual metal fan... you must own this album. Period.

awesome

meshuggah is one of the deepest sounding metal bands, they arent for the faint of heart metal fan. this album is so cool, every song is deep and it only gets deeper as you get into meshuggahs newer album catch 33. neurotica is definately my favorite song on this album. but why not buy the whole thing?

Chaotic and Symmetrical, hense Chaosphere (maybe not).

Armed with polyrhythmic percussion, atypical solos, and vocals to shred your eardrums, Chaosphere is certainly eponymous. Although this tumult may be difficult to ones without the "acquired taste", anyone familiar with Meshuggah knows that within all this noise, one finds an almost meditative place, as the constant pounding is both empowering, yet calming. Buy this masterpiece, and be enlightened!
