Meshuggah - My Experience

As I expand upon this blog, I am becoming rather verbose in my rhetoric; however, that need not always be the case. Some bands can be summed up in a sentence or two.

Meshuggah. One trick ponies who have yet to realize that most guitars come with more than one string. By embracing Dream Theater's concept of over-indulgent guitar wankery but replacing the use of lightning-fast melodic lines with a few rhythmic flourishes, they masquerade as innovators. Best of all, their vocalist possesses no real menace or fierce aggression, but rather is reminiscent of a pro-wrestler frustrated with his hemorrhoid donut.
