I do enjoy Meshuggah but haven't heard their first 3 albums so don't feel qualified enough to vote here. I'll have to check them out and come back.

Chaosphere and Koloss could have bee picks too.
 
obZen is still my pick.

I've now listened to all their albums, but I don't think I can pick a favorite, almost all of them are just so good. I voted Destroy Erase Improve before I heard much of them, but that's certainly not a bad vote. Although if I had to choose, it would probably be ObZen or Koloss.

Been listening through their discography, and they are quickly becoming one of my favorite bands. I should have waited to vote until I heard all their albums. So far, it might actually be the debut that's my favorite, but I still got quite a few albums to listen to though.

I tried, more than once, to get into them, but it's just not for me. Competent musicians, no doubt about that, but a tiresome listen for me, overall.

That's the great thing about music, everyone has their own tastes. :)

Maybe I should just play their entire discography. I do have Spotify in my office, so maybe the literature professor in the office next to mine will end up knocking angrily at my door on Monday.

They´ve developed their style quite a bit since the 90s, so if you´re going to give them a try, you should maybe try Destroy, Nothing and obzen to get a good Picture of their style and the Development of said style. I think those three are good reference points, although most of their releases are pretty interesting.
 
Oh and please give "Bleed" from obZen a good listen. Absolutely crushing and impossible to play track.

I've never really given them a thorough listen to begin with. I remember the drummer in a thrash band I was in in the 90s liked them a lot though.

They sure are an aquired taste, and I can understand those who don´t really appreciate their music. It personally took me about 10 years before I was hooked, and I purchased Contradictions Collapse a few years after it was released. I still have my vinyl version which was bought second hand. I guess someone soon realised that album wasn´t for them Smile.

I'm a big fan of the band but in my opinion their last truly great album is Catch 33. It's also my favourite.
