This band is just kick ass. Period. This album is brutal from start to finish, and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because this band's latest cd, "Hunter" is even better than this one. That one is a definite 5 star album. Check it out first, but definitely get this one as well. As for the person a few reviews down the list who claims to not hear any resemblence to Meshuggah at all....ARE YOU KIDDING ME? If you stripped the vocals from these songs, you couldn't get more Meshuggah sounding if you tried!!! A Life Once Lost=Meshuggah's guitars + Lamb of God's (New American Gospel era) vocals. That equals one crushing experience.

Well, I've seen these guys live a good 6 or 7 times.. completely incredible.

Yea the cd might sound a little repetitive at first, since they use the same style of guitar through the whole cd pretty much; but, seriously, listen to it a second time... unbelievable. These guys will get you moving in your seat.

If you get a chance see them live. Incredible.

This review is from: Great Artist (Audio CD)

obviously the way alol play the riffs on this album (bending the strings) sounds very similar to meshuggah, but oh well it is an incredibly pummeling album none the less,and anyone who is a meshuggah fan should find it very enjoyable to listen to this album ,and i think the only reason people are bitchin about it is because they apparently think that alol are going to steal what meshuggah has, and believe me that will never happen..so if u dont have this cd go buy it ecspecially if you love meshuggah and sidewinder bending type riffs like meshuggah use ever so frequently..
