Buy every Meshuggah record. Meshuggah never wastes your time. Lots of bands waste your time with throw-together bullshit, but Meshuggah would never do that. Each song has rhythm you can feel, and you think you love it, but you realize it's smarter than you. So you want to listen again, and you do. Their music is a drug, truly, and you should own it all unless you're afraid of feeling stupid. But if you're afraid, then you're stupid anyway. Pussy.

It's hard to rate this album. It's really annoying, but sometimes you can ignore that and enjoy it. Techno-fuzzatronic. Thrill Kill Kult and a nerdier Mike Patton. I don't listen to it, but I guess it's good, and as long as nobody talks about it, I'll keep it.

Unlike older albums, this one has a raging boner almost the whole time. A lot angrier than ever, but still melodic enough to keep your brain from melting. It's faster, more technical, but very polished; but we should probably expect that since they took 4 years to put it out (4 years ago).

i'm sure that there are enough people out there that openly enjoy this band that it wouldn't be a big deal if i just told YOU that this album is in no way worth owning. i was listening to it in my car once and it somehow convinced me that i should end my life by veering over into oncoming traffic. not this time, my friend. right now i'm trying to decide whether to trade it in or break it, thus preventing any hypno-homicides that may lie ahead.

got three chords, cute hair, a few catch phrases, a mouthful of "yeah," tight pants, and a fuzz box? then you've got the agenda! i bet chicks like to start the panic, but as far as a boy's opinion goes, i can only say: The Agenda! -hear it once, for the millionth time. buy of montreal.

if you've ever listened to the Zombies, and think they're nice and good, you're going to love this band. i've always been really blown away by anything they've done, and the four-track recording album was the first one i had. i think it's the best because the songs are incredible. and the audio is nice and crappy, but not so crappy you can't enjoy it. i would assume these boys did really well in school. they probably like the beatles a whole lot, too.

i keep buying their cds, and i keep putting them on my shelf forever after first listen. i'm not really sure why i do it, but i just do. i have nothing more to say about it. i guess that should tell you that this is just one of those bands that someone saw one night at a show, and a lot of people respected that person's opinion, even though that person was drunk out of his/her mind. i don't really expect them to go radiohead or anything. save your eight bucks and buy yourself a shitload of fake tattoos or something. or a french tickler. i'm going to vote "3." take that as "indifferent."

i bought this cd as a nice gesture for my girlfriend. she enjoys this band. i'm not really sure that she listens to it so often, but she says she does. but if it gets you on her good side, and perhaps even on her side of the bed at the same time as her, i would advise you do the same.

If this dvd had nothing more than the refused video, it would still be great, just a little expensive. that band is better than any hardcore/whatever band you listen to now, and please don't hold the Int'l Noise Conspiracy against them. or him. anyway, the bad religion stuff is of course the shit, and rancid and nofx are always going to be entertaining in some strange way. by the way, if you are still listening to pennywise or guttermouth, take the needle out of your fucking arm and get a clue. i was embarrassed that i ever thought teriyakimoto was even remotely decent. formative years, i suppose...they see you at your silliest. the millencolin video is really cool, and the singer of div. of laura lee is probably the ugliest man alive. kudos to him.

if you don't own everything that this band has put out, you might as well throw yourself in prison for attempted-suicide. Aeroplane Over the Sea is the album you should start out with (at least, i did...and i rule.), but they're geniuses through and through. if you like stuff that changes your life for the better, like this.
