True Human Design . . . a must for Meshuggah fans, but hardly an essential disc for the curious listener. Futile Bread Machine is the only stand-out track on this EP. Although it is nice to hear Meshuggah’s live prowess, it would be infinitely nicer to have an entire live Meshuggah album–only one live song just leaves you hanging, especially when it isn’t one of their greatest songs. Still, it is worth buying just to hear Meshuggah make fun of themselves and play “unplugged”–and the artwork is pretty cool.
