Free Music Notes for Catch Thirty Three

Free Music Review: This album grows on you, definitly not for new metalheads.
Hit: 5 Stars

For those of you who have listened to Meshuggah's past works, I am pleased to announce that this is another awesome album to add into your Meshuggah collection. For those of you who have not, please read on through the first paragraph. Meshuggah is a metal band different than any other metal band you have ever listened to. I can't come up with a close description for the band for a metal genre. Death metal is as far as I'll go. Meshuggah's unique sound sounds like something you'd hear out of an ancestrial tomb consumed by evil. In that case, you'll hear a huge loud scream throughout most of the album along with egyptian sounding like guitars, drums, and bass The rhythm is highly random sounding. As a result, I can't even come up with a close genre description for the band. Ps: The vocalist can sound very harsh to your ears if not carefully open minded.

Ok the album. The album is like the EP called I. It's one big massive song except it's split into parts. Unlike other albums, this album you'll have to listen through the entire thing. Miss one part of it and it'll pretty much ruin the entire album. The Meshuggah sound from the previous Nothing and Destroy Erase Improve still pretty much exists ( I didn't listen to Chaosphere or their first album yet so forgive me if they sound different back then I don't know). The album just has the different approach of the whole one song on an album thing. That's all there is really to say about it. The album may take a lot of time to grow on you. I took me 7 listens of this album for it to grow on me. So you need to be patient or you won't get any rewards out of this album. Looking for something that grows on you right off the bat is not here it's in the In Flames, Children Of Bodom, Katatonia, and Novembre isle.

As for the album itself it starts off with 3 songs thet are practically the same Autonomy Lost, Imprint Of The Unsaved, and Disenchantment. They are good and helps set the album up for whats coming. I'd give em 7 stars as a whole. Then comes the next three songs The Paradoxical Spiral, Re - inanimate, and Entrapment. I absolutely hated The Paradoxical Spiral and was my least favorite part of the album. Give it a 2/10. The spiral song has this beep beep beep sound in it with some mechanical sounding sounds in it(guessing from the drums). When that part stops the vocalist comes in but he is strangely boring in this song. The Spiral part leads straight into the Re - inanimate part which is less than a minute long but kicks off the album into something a lot faster and heavier than the last 4 songs whichs gives it a 10/10. Entrapment sounds similar to the paradoxical spiral but is much better 7/10. The Entrapment song then ends abruptly and leads into Meshuggah's weirdest song ever called Mind's Mirrors. It starts off when a mechnical thumping like sound every 5 seconds (estimated). Then it does some robot sounding vocals followed by what most of the song is like, soft plucking guitars. Then the guitar's explodes for a brief 20 seconds and goes into soft plucking again for the rest of the short amount of the song that is left. It's a great weird song 9/10. Next come In Death - Is Life which is my favorite part of the album. The album becomes fast and heavy from here on out. When this song comes on it explodes into guitars. The guitars briefly become not as noticeable with the very loud vocalist coming into play then the guitars return again. Absolutely wonderful 10/10. In Death - In Death is my 2nd favorite part of the album. This 13 minute part of the album will take many listens inorder for you to like it. It is a very good song that starts off with screaming, leads into a rolling guitar beat which is what you'll hear throughout most of the song. Then it goes into a brief stop and goes into another guitar beat. Once that part ends it goes into a looong soft guitar rhythm. The vocalist is missing throughout most of the song surprisingly. But yea this song is awesome and deserves a full 10/10 once it finally grows on you. After that the album reachs it's closing peroid. First Shed breaks in to destroy the soft guitar atmospheric ending of In Death - Is Death. It starts off with a HUGE yell. Then the song remains soft, atmospheric, and some softer than normal vocals from the vocalist (wow I love the vocalist off the song). I'd give it a 9/10 Then this leads into Personae Non Gratee. It's pretty much more guitars and vocals, kinda like a bridge that leads into Dehumanization 7/10. Dehumanization is my 3rd favorite off the album. It is an awesome way to lead into the ending of the album. Horrible heavy like In Death - Is Life with loud vocals 10/10. Then it goes into Sum which is dominated by the vocalist and is the vocalist's highlight of the album. By then the album has went out of control and man your like when will this chaos end in a good way. Finally the song stops to a complete halt only to be reawakened by a long scream and some torential guitars. Then it finally all stops. The album is over and you listen to 5 minutes of soft guitars inorder to cool yourself off after all of that chaos. So in other words, a great way to end the album 10/10

Catch 33 is an album you have to be in the mood for inorder to listen. It is immensely heavy and random. Even if you are a metalhead you yourself will need to have the correct amount of energy to listen to it. So that is why I said, this is not one of those albums that will immediately grow on you because it is highly random. This also makes it an album that is not for new metalheads. So even if I am criticizing it some, I still love it a lot and is worth 5 stars for me. The rewards for it growing on me was worth it.

Catch Thirty Three Poster

Sweden's metal mathematicians return with their highly anticipated new studio effort. The band refuses to rest on their laurels and pushes the boundaries of any and all genres they've been cast in. Packaged with a specially embossed O-card with foil.
On their thirteenth release, Meshuggah got a little experimental. Not that the band hasn't always pushed the boundaries of their metal (likely one of the reasons they were picked to open for Tool on tour), but this album is more than the usual departure. For this, they have come up with an extremely rewarding album. Unlike like the full-throttle assault of Lamb of God and Shadows Fall, and more in line with bands such as Isis and Mastodon, Catch Thirty-Three contains fewer rapid-fire time changes and lets tone take over. It is an experiment in sustained riffs, rhythms, and progressions, making the hypnotic feel come across as conceptual. Some tracks are crafted to blend seamlessly with one another and others are nothing more than a simple, repetitive chords. Make no mistake; this is still one of the more brutal albums you will hear all year--the vocals are death-defying and the onslaught is pummeling. Just that this album uses repetition and silence in a way previous albums haven't. This is extreme trance music and likely one of the best metal albums of 2005. --Robert Arambel
