Wishniaks/Meshuggah: Jens Kidman (vocals); Mårten Hagström (guitar); Fredrik Thordendal (guitars); Dick Lövgren (bass guitar); Tomas Haake (drums).
Though they probably never intended it to, Meshuggah's 2004 EP I -- featuring a single 21-minute song -- helped open new possibilities at a crucial career juncture for the long-heralded Swedish originals. That's because, for all of the justified acclaim at having established a wholly unique and instantly recognizable sonic imprint, Meshuggah's recent efforts had started to seem a little tired and repetitive, leading some critics to accuse the band of treading water in a progressive death metal pool of its own creation. Fair assumption or not, the group wisely decided to replicate and extend that single-song strategy on 2005's appropriately named Catch Thirty-Three; although the reality that its virtually nonstop 47 minutes are in fact broken down into 13 sections could also be viewed as a not so elaborate ruse to disguise just another, typical Meshuggah LP. After all, many of those breaks are totally arbitrary (the first three, sub-two-minute tunes, for instance, offer no good reasons as to why they shouldn't have been labeled as one title) and a considerable number of subdivisions ("Autonomy Lost," "The Paradoxical Spiral," "In Death -- Is Life," "Personae Non Gratae," etc.) still find Meshuggah wailing away on that familiar template combining harsh vocals and nightmarish melodies over coarse, mechanically advancing, oddball tempos. However, it's also apparent that, by doing away with the rigid formality (real or perceived) of individual song breaks, the band has bolstered its confidence for exploring ambient sounds and quieter dynamics. "In Death -- Is Death" offers the prime example with its interspersed bouts of noise and silence, but the adventurousness continues over uncharacteristically melodic portions of "Dehumanization" and the mild case of electronics and programming (as well as robotic voices) heard on "Mind's Mirrors." And whatever your opinion about all of these conspiracy theories, there's no question that on "Shed," with its tribal percussion and whispered vocals, Meshuggah deliver a masterful career highlight. So, in conclusion, does all this mean that Catch Thirty-Three represents a radical shift for the band? Not quite, but it does take care to fulfill the expectations of longtime fans while breaking enough new ground to feel like a potential bridge to continuing innovation -- not treading water -- in the very near future. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
After repeatedly raising the bar for metal bands everywhere, Meshuggah goes slightly experimental on CATCH THIRTY-THREE, the respected Swedish outfit's 2005 release. Meshuggah keeps intact its propensity for the pummeling riffs, demonic vocals, and complex polyrhythms that have compelled massive crowds to headbang in 7/4 time. But the band displays a new direction here, utilizing relentless repetition and atmospheric guitars to create a hypnotic opus that borders on industrial music.
CATCH THIRTY-THREE unfolds more like a symphony in 13 parts than a metal album, as movements bleed into each other forming a perfect arc of structured chaos, strewn with darker, ambient interludes ("In Death - Is Death"). Thematically, frontman Jens Kidman's struggle with physical and spiritual confinement continues, as he describes "the struggle to free myself of restraints" on "Disenchantment." On the album's finest track, "The Paradoxical Spiral," a tightly strummed guitar drone gives way to powerhouse bass and drums, breaking open the doors for Kidman's guttural declarations. Three songs later, the rampage continues with such heft and precision that one can only sit back in awe.

5 stars Amazzzzzing!
This album keeps the same stylistic line as the previous ones, but it's more minimalistic, more insane, more Meshuggah. My darkest desire. Total madness. The last and the best.

4 stars It's different...but I actually like it!
Seriously, if your own nightmares had a musical soundtrack, this would be the music! I admit, I didn't like this album at first, because I expected this album to pick up where their one-song EP 'I' left off, and felt that this was too slow and repetitive. Granted it is slow, but I can't say that this sounds exactly like 'Nothing'. By the same token, it also doesn't match the intensity of 'Destroy Erase Improve' or the brutality of 'Chaosphere' either (as other reviewers have stated). Nevertheless, the more I listen to this, the better it gets. This is a very bizarre Meshuggah album, and metal album in general; it flows as one long, continuous song broken down into 13 songs. It also has some really strange riff patterns and song structures, which is really interesting to listen to. "Mind's Mirrors" is the weirdest song on the album, as it starts out with a metal riff that comes to a crashing halt, and then followed up by a robotic vocal style unlike anything I've ever heard before. "In Death - Is Death" is my favorite song, and is probably the longest song on the album...not to mention the insane melodies that make this album all worthwhile. As far as drums go, they sound great as usual, but unfortunately drummer Tomas Haake doesn't play drums on the album at all. All the drum tracks are programmed, and the only work that Haake contributes to the album is his spoken vocals, that's it. As for the lead vocals, Jens Kidman sounds more brutal than ever, that's all there is to it. Overall, I'd say that 'Catch 33' isn't your typical Meshuggah album where you just start thrashing like crazy. This is more of a Pro-Tools experiment by the band, and a progressive metal album that you have to be in the right emotional mood to listen to. Hey, it's still heavy...and if it's one thing that Meshuggah is known for, it's pure heaviness. Even since 'Contradictions Collapse' this band has delivered the most intense sound music ever, and this album is really no different, so just give it a try!

5 stars Great album
Meshuggah has done it again with this cd. It is similar to NOTHING but has some older influences in it. I highly recommend getting this cd.

5 stars Polyrhythmic Metal at it's best!!!
A Meshuggah fan's must have, don't listen to all the crap people say about it, i haven't agreed with any reviews i've read on this album, good or bad. Constant mentions of brutaliy etc - this is a given when talking about good metal, i wouldn't say the album is groundbreaking...but it definitely kicks ass.
