This release shows Meshuggah really flexing their muscles. They are an extremely talented group of musicians performing powerful metal music that is both technical and unique. If you've heard any of the bands backcatalog you will know exactly what to expect from their sound. What you won't expect is the sheer perfection of this performance. There is barely a dud note on the whole CD. Although a little monotonous at times, the vocals are aggressive throughout. The rhythm section is inhumanly tight & the trademark Allan Holdsworth-style guitar solos complement the complex riffs splendidly. The slower crunchier moments are particularly effective in a live environment with the closer "Bleed" being the album highlight. A little more variation wouldn't go astray however I find this to be a very impressive release from one of the elite metal bands in the scene today.
