Jan 23, 2022The symbol of the progressive metal! It contains Bleed, the most famous Meshuggah track!
-
Jan 18, 2021Ferocious, relentless, vicious, and brutal. Meshuggah gets my perfect rating not only for those reasons but also because this album is one of the best I've heard in my life!

Feb 27, 2020This is not a Metal. This is MESHUGGAH
A harmony between low toned guitar with Jens' vocal is amazing. -
Sep 25, 2015The best Meshuggah album! Just masterpiece from the bst band in this genre!
All tracks are very pleasant to listen to.I will choose "Bleed" and "obZen" from them all.
9 from 10. -
Jan 31, 2011This is one of my favourite metal albums. The poly-rhythms never fail keep you on your toes and the heavy guitar riffs keep it insanely edgy. This is the most intense band I have ever heard. Tears you apart.

TimTApr 23, 2008Brilliant, intricate album.

DrewH.Apr 18, 2008Blender is right on, but only for the first listen. It takes a lot of patience to get through the album the first time you hear it. But every time after that, it's pretty exhilarating.

THApr 1, 2008Bleed is devastating. The title track is the heaviest thing on earth. This album is amazing.

SebastianW.Mar 31, 2008A release that merges every style Meshuggah has touched on throughout their career and merges them into a pared-down summary of what makes them so important.

TJMar 24, 2008Great album, I'd say its more of a thrash album but they still stick to their essence of being extremely technical.

JoeG.Mar 19, 2008This album is amazing. It seems Meshuggah has combined the breakneck speed of chaosphere with the heaviness of Nothing. The only factor in this Album I don't like is Meshuggah don't give up on their ferocious attack throughout the whole album, I would like to breath a little... god damn!

JohnB.Mar 19, 2008Bone crushing... took me a few listens to really appreciate it. Pravus is the best track... at 52 minutes it's the perfect length.

FlorisV.Mar 16, 2008Not so hard for the ears this time, but don't let that fact misguide you, probably the most technical album so far.

This is sheer attack metal, played by a band that has run from simplicity to excess and incorporated them both into a record that is on a level with anything else they've done, even if not all the elements marry perfectly yet. Just get it.
-
The stiff, weirdly disengaged, single-note guitar solos and Kidman’s monochromatic death screams don’t make you want to keep dragging yourself through the record.

obZen is a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging record, and is without question an early contender for metal Album of the Year.
