Holds up just as well as their previous albums in my opinion! As always it is insanely swift and catchy, the lyrics were really fun to follow along to as well. (I lost where I was a couple times)
87 > 100
I can't wrap my head around how much this album has grown on me, looking into the production and the themes of what these guys were going for has me seriously impressed, definitely my new favourite album as of Feb 2026.
Edit: 92 -> 100
I have had a chance to listen more to this album and it's individual tracks, it seems to never lose its spark.
This is not music followings the norms, not for casual consumption. Statik Rein is simply a testimony to auditory punishment, a brutally honest representation of the artist’s refusal to compromise.
However, within the unrelenting harshness lies an intricate architecture of sound, one that rewards close listening with moments of terrifying beauty.
Love the opera style in symphonic metal, goes well together as always, but the mixing on this one is wack. It just aint fleshgod anymore.
Love the blend of soft fantasy like melodies and some powerful prog metal
Best Meshuggah Album without a doubt in my mind. Even without a great mix, it is just pure goddamn dopamine every listen. Kickass, polyrhythmic mind-fuck of an album. These guys were ahead of their time.
Probably my favorite Meshuggah album besides Koloss, no track is bad on this album, raw af.
