2011 sees another release by Decapitated. This is one Polish band that has made some pretty interesting, but 'Carnival Is Forever' shot and missed.

One of the bigger problems is present even with the first song, "The Knife". I really don't like the sloppy djent chugs in the music here. Come on, Decapitated! There was a point where you didn't need that! I really don't care for the hardcore sounding Phil Anselmo style vocals either. In fact, in some songs like "Carnival Is Forever", sound like sped up deathcore!(?)

This was a failed experiment here. Nothing about this album is very memorable after you get done listening to it. Sure the production makes it sound heavy, but it lacks the essential content to go along with it.

Skip this.

I think what happens in Meshuggah should stay in Meshuggah.

I miss the death growls too, but otherwise I think it´s a pretty strong album. They´ve changed their style a lot but from an objective point of view not necessarily in a bad direction. I´m sure people into the more modern Meshuggah styled hybrid death thrashy direction will enjoy this a lot.
