No you really can't. Old school Lamb of God rules. It's raw and ****ed up as ****. But couldn't care less about them after New American Gospel.
I find the best quality about Meshuggah's sound is their coldness. To me, they wouldn't be the same if every band member was po-faced, trying to force emotion and heart into every note. For the style they play, the cold, calculated nature of the production fits the music perfectly.

Did you listen to As the Palaces Burn? I remember that album being as gritty as New American Gospel or maybe that's just because my rip is only 192kbps lol
