Doesn't apply to the very latest thing they've released

Nope just think fans shouldn't have any say about the direction a band wants to take. Hey the older records you like are still there if you don't like what they do.

It goes without saying that they have the final say, but it doesn' mean I can't question their decisions and motivations. I'll try and find the link, but even Tomas said in a pretty recent interview that the ObZen art work was a mistake and wasn't what they were looking for, which begs the question why nothing was said at the time. A combination of Meshuggah-type apathy and label pressure, imo.

Do I think Tomas was happy with Re-Nothing? We'll probably never know, but when you go from an almost universally acclaimed great drumming/drumming tones album to sound replaced sterility...I can't see how. Fred seems very OCD with production, to the detriment of recent albums imo.

if you guys have any specific questions you should look up fredrik's facebook page for his solo project. i've hit him up a bunch of times and he's always answered.

Any news on a release date? I remember some quiet noise about new Fredrik last year, but it faded pretty quickly.

[Alejandro4891]

last i remember he was doing some drum tracks with morgen agren and dirk verbeuren. i don't think he's ever mentioned a release date, just that it'll be a while before it's released since he's busy with meshuggah now.

Saw them at Terminal 5 and they were awesome. I think I was a row or two behind you Alejandro, saw you before they began to play but not afterwards. I got pretty intense up front, reminded me of the Gwar pit last year. Great sound, awesome fun. It's funny ... when I listen to Meshuggah now I can't stop that light nod.
