Maniacally fingertapping with the unpredictable pulse of a sickly modem, Abasi is cybersurfing with the aliens, bringing future-shocked wheedle-wheedle to a generation weaned on Meshuggah and Aphex Twin. His 2009 debut suffered from the flat, lifeless hammering of programmed drums, but this follow-up debuts a superhuman, super-heavy full band, who magically keep time with his rubbery arrhythmia from the Ministry of Silly Mosh. Abasi’s nonstop flurrious freak-outs get monotonous after 47 minutes, but he’s never low on energy, surprises, or staggering chops. CHRISTOPHER R. WEINGARTEN
