Just got the Blood Music vinyl editions of:

Moonsorrow - Tulimyrksky
Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja

I am also trying to get Havitätty and Verisääket.

They look beautiful by the way. My God.

Impressive! Do you have a current favorite album from those fantastic Finns, Thomas? (I need to relisten to them all)

Thomas · **Posted:** Thu Oct 09, 2014 12:42 pm

Well.. Seeing as how they are in my Top 3 fav bands of all time, I tend to switch around a bit in their discorgraphy. Up until recently, I have been enjoying Kivenkantaja and Varjoina kuljemme kuolleiden maassa alot.

But I think Hävitetty may be my preferred pick right now. A magnificent hour of music.

My favorite of theirs too when I last listened to them in depth when their last full-length dropped. Tremendous band, least fond of their first few albums as compared to their later style, but quality throughout.

Well, that movie is always a blast to watch.

That particular Meshuggah is their most immediate listen, imo. Every other Meshuggah album I find myself only really enjoying a few tracks, with Chaosphere I think there is only one unmemorable one.

Have only heard good things about the movie. Just have to wait for a right chance to see it. In regards to Meshuggah, I'm just like you, I enjoy a few tracks but have a hard time getting through a whole album without changing the music.

Strangelove is a lot of fun and a great showcase for how talented an actor Peter Sellers was.

Agree on the 'shuggah. Very difficult to get through an entire album. I liked some of their stuff on Chaosphere and Destroy Erase Improve but the seven string, polyrythm thing I always found kind of boring. Was never a huge fan of Jens Kidman's vocals either. Caught them live a few years ago when they opened for Ministry and was not impressed at all. Al and Co. just blew them off the stage.

North From Here · **Posted:** Fri Nov 14, 2014 4:39 am

My recommendation for listening to Meshuggah is to make a mix of the 2-3 best tracks or so of every one of their albums. Makes for a much better experience than listening to most of their individual albums.
