It probably is very easy to overlook the first full length affair of Sweden's Meshuggah, as this 1991 massively thrash contribution can not even be regarded as a spiritual precursor of what the music of said band has evolved to via their later operations that forms the face of metal to this very moment.
General consensus seems to be ultra-tepid and unacceptably deformed regarding the disc, as, despite my valiant efforts, I have failed to find and read a review that seems to reckon the delivery for what it really sounds to be. In other words : the 'fuck is up with you people? If not a single person is willing to rearrange related reality, then allow Yours, Truly to do so armed with an agenda and scientific rigor.
Meshuggah's Contradiction Collapse is doubtless influenced by a particularly good looking/angry image of early Metallica, but you would need to be supremely biased, I think, to fail to notice that this formation of youngsters - the Meshuggah dudes are in their early twenties by the era of the disc - are delivering a pretty much impertinently mature and complete variant of thrash metal which, to THIS very day emerges galaxies more relevant than say, the cartoon thrash metal of the latest to date Megadeth album, let alone the pinball road-motor sport "thrash metal" rhetorics - synonym : antics - of the latest to date Overkill series of facial ticks. Read on to find out more about this release, that packs infinitely more capacity to kick your ass to hell and back than you ever thought it does.
