That crisp, beautiful wall of sound is overwhelming on shrooms. Meshuggah's also great tripping but i wouldn't go and see them tripping cos fuck me...all those scatty white lights and shit? Anyone who said Cynic are boring are probably silly knuckleheads who can't listen to anything that aint heavy. Thats elitist and really fucking retarded imo. But still, each to their own. Personally, I think Cynic are the absolute shit, as are meshuggah and the faceless. The thing is, you want to see cynic when your tripping cos you’ll bliss out completely.

They're all great musicians. Their style is quite a bit different than the other bands on this bill though, so I can imagine some fans not really digging them. I think Cynic would fit well on a bill with, say, Opeth, 3, Between the Buried and Me, or Dream Theater. Prog Nation anyone? I really enjoyed Cynic’s set in Toronto. They’re all great musicians.

It was not exciting like Meshuggah and The Faceless were exciting, but for someone like me who's been listening to them since "Focus" came out in the early 90's, it was exciting. They're different, that's for sure. The Faceless and Meshuggah were incredible. Cynic was pretty well received at the St. Paul show I attended last Friday.

The Faceless and Meshuggah were incredible.

People shouted for Meshuggah during the changing period, when everything took a while. People also shouted "WE LOVE YOU PAUL" in the middle of the Cynic set. Everyone tranced out, I would not have picked Cynic along with Faceless and Meshuggah, but they were still great. Dave – I was also at the SF show, and they were received plenty well.

I said it on Twitter...Cynic bores to tears. I saw the show in San Francisco, and they were just horribly misplaced between two utterly brutal acts that just slayed. It was just awful. People were shouting out "MESHUGGAH!!" in the middle of their set. Not well received at all I'd say. I’m with Eric. I said it on Twitter…Cynic bores to tears.

In Des Moines it seemed like they ended the set early and they didn't look too happy to be playing. Was it just me or did the audience seem to not receive Cynic well?

F'n amazing! I recommend not standing right in front of the stage unless you want a 90% drum-focused sound, they play with no amps on stage. All the guitars and bass are modeled with Rack-mounts so it's all fed through the PA. Sounded great further back! Check out my videos from the Toronto show!

I have 3 other vids from the show also, one of Cynic) Meshuggah - Pravus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09DvndHPWM4 I saw this tour 2 days ago! F’n amazing!
