Comment on Meshuggah – Koloss by dubyah

I have never been the biggest fan, but I always anticipate a good album from these guys. I will check it out and hopefully I will like more than just a handful of tracks off this album.

From what I have heard (which isn’t much) I didn’t mind it. I really haven’t enjoyed anything from this band since Burn the Priest (way better name). Good review. I am sure I will listen to the rest of the album someday.

The album is way too digitized and has absolutely no dynamic range what so ever (as with every other new metal album out there)- I lose focus and stop giving a rat’s ass about 4 songs deep. All of the tracks pretty much sound the same and could easily be outtakes from Wrath. They should go back to Burn the Priest mode.

I feel the same way. Going through a record store, even if you don’t end up buying anything, is just such a good stress-reliever. When you do decide on a record to buy, it is because you have looked through different albums (which broadens your musical horizons) and decided that this is what you wanted to buy based on things like the album artwork, the 30-second samples of the songs, or previous knowledge of the band (which means that you are making independent informed decisions and you are not just giving into what you should buy, or what your environment wants you to listen to). If you truly are passionate about music and don’t just use music as some hip outlet to make you different from your typical musically stagnant friends, than go buy a CD. One, you are hearing an entire body of art instead of just one or two songs that may have hit the mainstream. Two, you will come to find that the best songs are not going to be the mainstream, popular songs. The “hidden gem” type songs are more than likely the most emotional, vulnerable, and beautiful songs on the album. Three, you learn so much just by reading through the cover booklets about the artist(s). Also, by choosing not to lower yourself to popular society’s standards, you are not ripping off an artist by illegaly downloading their songs. Sharing sites like Limewire don’t so much affect popular artists, but they do affect independent or not so well known artists. I plan on exclusively buying albums from stores, not because its cool to, but because it is really the only way to learn about and understand music as a whole.

I figured this would be Italian since it’s called Serie A, which is Italian for Series A.
