Meshuggah. They are definately an acquired taste but one that i have acquired. Gojira is an interesting band too but don't quite achieve the same uniqueness

Meshuggah is sort of that band. You know? Those bands.
One of the "hard to hate" ones.

I like Gojira, but Meshuggah for me. "Destroy Erase Improve" is one of the best tech thrash/groove albums I've ever heard.

 Yeah Meshuggah has that effect on some people. They are very much an aquired taste and there´s really no middle ground. Either you love them or you can´t stand them. I used to belong in the latter camp, but after seing them live I heard some qualities that I found intriguing and went back to listen to their albums, and somehow everything just clicked, and I´ve been quite a big fan since. It´s not often you start out by not liking an artist for 15 years, and then suddenly get convinced that their music is great, but that´s exactly what happened to me .Edited by UMUR - 27 Aug 2015 at 2:08am |

Gojira. I can't listen to Meshuggah without shouting at the music to make up it's fucking mind what it actually wants to do!

I´m still voting Meshuggah as I did in my post 5 years ago. I´ve changed my mind about Gojira though after seing them live Again where they kicked ass. I guess my first experience seing them live was either an off day for them or for me.

Meshuggah, Gojira aren't even comparable.

Be excellent to each other.

I voted for Gojira as I like their music and also their lyrical themes and think the latest album is excellent. Although I can see the merit in Mushuggah as innovators and as superb musicians I just can't seem to get into 'djent'.

Nothing Meshuggah has done has ever resonated with me. Their music just goes in one ear and out the other. I haven't heard much of Gojira but I liked what I did, so I voted for them.

Meshuggah is bad.
Gojira are overrated but not as bad so they get my vote.

I agree that Gojira are killer live and that they are a great band, but in general I wouldn�t call them underrated. Meshuggah to my ears are something very special though. They are the forefathers of the highly technical/rythmic style they play and hundreds are inspired by them and play like them.

Obscura doesn't have bad production, it has different production. I can understand why people used to the overproduced norm of the metal industry these days wouldn't like it, but that doesn't mean it is poor quality. I'd rather the vocals be raw than reverb-laden, personally.
Oh, and I voted Meshuggah. Edited by Triceratopsoil - 21 Apr 2011 at 3:15pm |

Funny,
I was just listening to that Goreguts album (A Promo Sleeve Copy I got when I worked at Tower Records those many years ago) just last week. Actually, its not that the Production was bad, it seems that they wanted to have that album sound REALLY "Raw", everything is clear, but their is no reverb to the vocals (Cookies), its pure raw Vox. And the Drums are mic'd raw as well, it almost has a mono-tone sound but if you listen on headphones you can hear the depth of the room . . . its really weird. Its actually why I cant listen to it very often  .(At 1st I thought you were saying the band "Obscura" was bad! I was like . . . WAIT A MINUTE!!!  - namedapparently after the Goreguts album). Dont mean to change the Topic subject of this thread but, I want to know why "Enslaved" cant seem to Produce/Engineer their albums to sound good? Though the last 2 are better, but I think they need to call Andy Sneap or Steve Wilson  . |

Ok. Maybe you're right. But Obscura wins the other two as an album. For me it's more authentic. |

Compared to Terra Incognita or a Necrophagist album, the production on Obscura sucks.
