Free Music Notes for Catch Thirty-Three
Free Music Review: metal stretched to the limits
Hit: 5 Stars
After hearing of Meshuggah's penchant for chaotic polyrhythms and bizarre guitar interplay, I was intrigued enough to buy the first CD "Contradictions Collapse"/"None", and found this outfit to be worthy of its devoted following.
"Obzen" came next, being the newest release (also reviewed by yours truly), which was sufficiently heavy enough to keep me interested. That's like saying the desert is sufficiently dry enough, when you're dealing with a sonic noise machine like this bunch. I snatched up "Catch Thirty-Three" and was immediately impressed with the difference in this release to the other two. While it's still brutal enough to melt granite, "Catch Thirty-Three" veers into real psycho territory and wisely chooses some different spices into this stew. Recognizing that sometimes the musical situation demands fewer notes to achieve the desired effect, in this case, isolation and mental confusion, Meshuggah gives us a CD that is as comprehensive and thematic as "Dark Side Of The Moon", although not sonically related.
The guitars sometimes use minimal notes to great effect (a sign of real musicianship), interspersed with the attack that makes this band what it is. What makes "Catch Thirty-Three" a metal masterwork is its dynamics, something lots of grunt metal outfits don't use or understand. Metal can be as predictable and dull as anything out there, and having been on the planet long enough to actually remember the Beatles when they were still a group, I'm not wasting my entertainment buck on a cliche. Meshuggah shines on. Here's to the rightful heirs of VoiVod, the pioneers of industrial thrash metal, without home Meshuggah wouldn't be possible.
Catch Thirty-Three Poster
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 ArambelSweden'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.
