by far my favorite u2 album

Agreed. I tease my wife (a big U2 fan) that they jumped the shark after this one!

They didn't?

Go ahead, say it, I can't: Oh snap.

Alright, there was Achtung Baby but that was an anomol...anamal...animal...anamoly, oh jesus I can't speak straight this morning.

I've been a fan for a while, at least of this one. I haven't listened to the newer stuff in years though.

I'll probably revisit them soon.

I can definitely say that I appreciate this material more now that my 'musical ear' has grown up since high school.

Haven't quite "gotten" Meshuggah yet. I have Catch 33 and their newer live album but neither have appealed to me so far. Should I be checking out any of their other material? I want to like them, I really do.

Definitely check out Destroy Erase Improve.

I haven't heard the Catch 33 or live ones. I haven't listened to Chaosphere in a long time, but I remember thinking at the time that DEI had more groove to it, and better vocals.

I really can't stress how awesome it is to have groove like that, despite the rigid time signatures and tempo shifts and whatnot. Its kind of like taking the groove of say Guns N Roses, and mixing it with the rigidness of Fear Factory.

It shouldn't be possible but they did it. The vocals...its just so 'elastic'. Its so unique.

DEI is probably my desert island metal disc, in fact.

I like the piano version better than the orchestral one of that work, though both are nice.

This is a whole morning task (I'm off after an on-call shift)

Wagner, Kleiber, Staatskapelle Dresden - Tristan und Isolde

Catch 33 is actually what got me hooked, but it's definitely out there compared to their other albums. The most recent one, Obzen, is the most accessible, I'd say, and also try Nothing.
