Next time Meshuggah comes around remind me of this post:
Don't do it. I remember when they came around in 2013 I came back and said I was disappointed. Here they come again, this time with High on Fire, one of my favorite bands, so of course I'm going. HoF was amazing, as usual. 45 minutes into Meshuggah I left, because I realized I had been on my phone most of the time, and not watching them. I don't get it: I like their albums, I think the new album is great. But they're the most boring live band I've ever seen, and now I've seen them twice. All they do is stand there with zero energy. Their entire stage presence is their lights. The music sounds good, sure. But they're just so fucking boring to watch. I know I'm in the vast VAST minority on this, but I just don't get it.
