Meshuggah's latest release, the live CD/DVD bundle Alive, turned out to be worth every penny. a very good live dvd to spell out what the band has been doing on their Obzen tour, and the live CD to complement. it mainly focused around four areas, Montreal, New York, Toronto, and Tokyo. they sounded spectacular at each one, and the only problems i had was with Jens kidman's Voice on "The Mouth Licking What You Bled" and the guitarists sounds on "New Millennium Cyanide Christ", besides those errors the rest of the dvd was awesome. i found it rather odd that their drummer, Tomas Haake, was pretty much the only member to talk throughout the entire dvd when it cut to interviews between songs. maybe the rest are shy, although i dont see Jens Kidman, the scary MF'er he is, to be shy. but oh well. the CD is a very good match to the dvd, especially for those who want to show off how much they listen to meshuggah on last.fm. sound quality is brilliant, especially on the cd, it makes you feel like you're in the crowd. the dvd had great camera positions, and caught everything. the bonus feature showed the "Bleed" music video, and the making of it, nothing too special there, but pretty cool all the same. i especially love the cover, which amizingly enough, is the Alien dvd cover, with a few minor adjustments. Jens Kidman's head replaces the alien egg, but his face is distorted to look like it, and right under it the words "in space no one can hear you unless you scream" are very noticeable. all in all, i give this CD/DVD bundle a 5/5. i completely recognize this as another album to my collection. the track listing are as follows:
