MESHUGGAH: THE VIOLENT SLEEP OF REASON


MESHUGGAH's new album "The Violent Sleep of Reason" is out today!



excerpt from MetalSucks' review:

The Violent Sleep of Reason is a freaking tour-de-force; a total deconstruction of heavy music.

I considered reviewing this thing track-by-track, taking into consideration what I can dissect about what exactly is going on, but that would be a disservice to the essence of what is, unbelievably so, a rock record in the classical sense. This is an album performed by a group of musicians – tracked live, song by song – except they’re some of the best musicians that the genre has ever had to offer.... 

...Violent Sleep is a tremendous piece of art because it isn’t intricately plotted out by basement-dwelling theory nerds – 
but rather, played by pros... 

...Meshuggah and The Violent Sleep of Reason 
are basically as good as it gets.
