probably the worst album name ever. i don't really like their music either, it loses its appeal with too many over-complication gimmicks. i can respect them, but that album name is like something out of a terrible aimed-at-14-year-old-girls networking site with bratz-like avatars.

yes it's awful. what's even worse is the cover art.
musicwise... yes it's superstress, and i can't stand the singer...

dunno.... listening once on crappy pc speakers, and it was a bit more "oldschool" than catch33.... the opener might be their straightforwardest piece ever... ultraprecise production as always... maybe lacks a bit variation throughout the album, maybe not :]

Oh, I didn't know about any new album. As soon as they decided that they could go for some mellow songs with clean vocals once i a while they completely lost it. Half of Catch 33 was simply embarassing.
A cast OMG on the cover art.

I have been looking out for obZen for a long time, but it strikes me as disappointing. Meshuggah will always stay Meshuggah, in both the good and the bad sense. It's good that they stay true to their own style and roots, but after listening obZen I realised I have grown a bit bored of the Meshuggah trick. I don't think it's a bad album, just somewhat uninspired and not for me.
And yeah, the cover art of their albums has never been amazing, damn..
I might buy it anyway, to keep my Meshuggah collection complete as it is now.

Good first song. Like that it starts like Tool then goes full pelt. Rest of the album's a bit samey tho, getting sick of em a bit now.
