[edit] Album art

That's not the correct album artwork http://metalstorm.ee/images/albums/1/14636.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.48.109 (talk • contribs) Jan 8, 2008

In regards to the person above me, that is not what is on the Nuclear Blast website so until then, the correct album art is located at http://www.nuclearblast.de/index.php?Action=showDynamicPage&ident=releasedetail&rid=1557 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kobkobkob (talk • contribs) 20:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

"signaling a shift in direction away from their previous math metal-laden effort" <--- what? how do you figure? they have said that it's more varied but that it shuld be less complex, no. maybe it's just a cunfusing sentence. well, the album will be out soon anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.210.119.28 (talk • contribs) Jan 4, 2008

oh, and... the album art is out, btw. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.210.119.28 (talk • contribs) Jan 4, 2008

The album art is incorrect. If you actually look on the physical release of the album, the old cover is the one shown. This image was banned from stores. Thanks. Tribestros (talk) 00:53, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Release date

I wrote that the release date would be March 2008 instead of 'early 2008' and it was changed back because it was claimed I had no proof. Here is the proof: http://www.nuclearblast.de/index.php?Action=showDynamicPage&ident=newsdetail&nid=2307

You can see that Meshuggah's record label have stated the album will be released March 2008.

Looking back on the history of the album's release date, it's been pushed back again and again and again, originally meant to come out earlier this year in the summer. Until it's 100% confirmed with international dates, speculation shouldn't be noted. —Vanishdoom (talk) 10:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Bleed" length

I see that Kobkobkob is starting to get angry at people editing out the song length ov the song Bleed.

I personally see no problem with the time length being there. I don't know why it would be a nuisance to have one song length on the track listing. I've done that on other articles, and nobody reverted that. The only thing I'm upset about is that Bleed isn't available on Youtube anymore, but that's irrelevant. So, there's my two cents.

This is also not your place to be a total fucking jackass and remove everything you don't like. You might as well delete this entire section if you're going to complain about irrelevancy. Anyway, the song is confirmed at 7:19 and there is no reason to remove it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kobkobkob (talk • contribs) 21:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Leak of Bleed

The first single for the album debuted on Sirius Radio's Hard Attack station (the satellite radio's heavy metal channel). A few listeners caught the song when it aired and recorded, and the mp3 is now circulating amongst fans.

I don't have any citation, but I have the mp3, and I know where it came from... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pafufta816 (talk • contribs) 01:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

The radio broadcast itself is surely ok to cite as a source of the information. I came across some leaks of the song before it was played on the show, don't know where those came from.80.7.59.211 (talk) 18:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ObZen leak

as of January 22nd, 10:00am, I have a full copy of the album. It's absurdly heavy, and monster grooves.  : ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pafufta816 (talk • contribs) 18:06, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Album cover

What is the album cover? Is it the head or the full body. If it were my choice, it would be the head, but that's just personal preference. BTC 00:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

  • The album cover that only shows the head is part of the slipcase. The actual cover is the full body. However, as far as I am aware the band had to censor the full body cover art, hence the slipcase being used. Dmiles21 (talk) 08:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I saw a few copies of the album at Best Buy yesterday. Yep, it is indeed a sleeeve with just the head. I can't wait to get the album. BTC 04:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I picked up a copy. It's a great album and yeah, the sleeve has the head and the actual CD cover has the full body shot. It's worth keeping the picture on the page as the head so people will recognise it when they go to buy it. Meshuggah010 01:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Drum programming

On previous editions of this page, all the members of the band are drum programmers. I personally find that hard to believe. I just thought I needed to say that. BTC 21:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

It was copied from Catch Thirtythree's page, I believe, so it was just a weird mistake made by whoever did the pasting. —Vanishdoom (talk) 05:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I think I understand now. Thanks. BTC 05:20, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
