"Catch Thirtythree is the fifth full-length studio album by Swedish metal band, Meshuggah. It was released on May 16, 2005 in Europe and May 31, 2005 in the United States through Nuclear Blast."
amazing piece of work. the basis structure of the album is a whole song divided in sub-tracks making it possible to be a one song intense and trippy experience or just select the track you want to start listening to. The idea of Catch 33 which is a modification for the expression "Catch 22" which means a situation without ending or solution. It revolves around paradoxes and the explosions of epiphanies through life and death meanings. Basically defines the album that portraits the subconscious jail in all our minds telling us what we are and what to believe, the existentialist trait on tomas haake's lyrics never been this accurate, making this a one time experience and worth listening to even if you aren't a heavy music fan. The eight-cord guitars appear at full power bringing new grooves and a new level heaviness entwined with rhythmic and mesmerizing drums that lead the way of the song as the two guitars combine the times signatures with amazing polyrhythmic riffs with that distorted guitar sound that characterizes meshuggah, from sweden. highly recommended for everyone who want to take a trip to their own minds and feel crushed by the most powerful and heavy sound on music history. Impossible to rate this album, or better it's not worth doing so. Catch 33 speaks for itself, with newly added jazz fusion elements leaving the thrash genre behind and using fresh complex texturous grooves and insane breakdowns. Interesting and, in certain ways, highly underrated, but we all know that the best things are always hidden and not many get the hold of them. can be found on noise/experimental music stores at a low price rather than the big capital facilities.
