User Album Review
I’ve found myself enjoying Meditations too much to bother looking for nitpicky problems with the overall product. The ruthlessly catchy “Guillotine” sets a high standard for the record as its opener, and while not often surpassed it is uniformly met. There are no duds, no disparity in quality on Side A and Side B, and at thirty-nine minutes Meditations lasts exactly as long as it should, offering enough to sate but not over-saturate. It’s produced in a quintessentially modern way, but with each instrument audible and no problems listening at recommended volume.
What is to be expected when a critic reviews one of his favorite bands? Too often “honesty” or “fairness” is conflated with arbitrary fault-finding, and that’s a waste of time. I don’t enjoy Kataklysm because I’m blinded by bias; I enjoy Kataklysm because they write great music, and Meditations is no exception. This is meat and potatoes death metal in the truest form: packed with energy, lacking in fat, great for building strength, and an always reliable comfort when times get tough that isn’t decadent but actually good for you.
