Obscura doesn't have bad production, it has different production.  I can understand why people used to the overproduced norm of the metal industry these days wouldn't like it, but that doesn't mean it is poor quality.  I'd rather the vocals be raw than reverb-laden, personally.

Oh, and I voted Meshuggah.

I agree that Gojira are killer live and that they are a great band, but in general I wouldn�t call them underrated. Meshuggah to my ears are something very special though. They are the forefathers of the highly technical/rythmic style they play and hundreds are inspired by them and play like them.

Meshuggah is bad.

Gojira are overrated but not as bad so they get my vote.

Nothing Meshuggah has done has ever resonated with me.  Their music just goes in one ear and out the other.  I haven't heard much of Gojira but I liked what I did, so I voted for them.

I voted for Gojira as I like their music and also their lyrical themes and think the latest album is excellent. Although I can see the merit in Mushuggah as innovators and as superb musicians I just can't seem to get into 'djent'.

Meshuggah, Gojira aren't even comparable.
Be excellent to each other.

I´m still voting Meshuggah as I did in my post 5 years ago. I´ve changed my mind about Gojira though after seing them live Again where they kicked ass. I guess my first experience seing them live was either an off day for them or for me.

Gojira. I can't listen to Meshuggah without shouting at the music to make up it's fucking mind what it actually wants to do!

^LOL Yeah Meshuggah has that effect on some people. They are very much an aquired taste and there´s really no middle ground. Either you love them or you can´t stand them. I used to belong in the latter camp, but after seing them live I heard some qualities that I found intriguing and went back to listen to their albums, and somehow everything just clicked, and I´ve been quite a big fan since. It´s not often you start out by not liking an artist for 15 years, and then suddenly get convinced that their music is great, but that´s exactly what happened to me LOL.

I like Gojira, but Meshuggah for me. "Destroy Erase Improve" is one of the best tech thrash/groove albums I've ever heard.

Meshuggah is sort of that band. You know? Those bands.

One of the "hard to hate" ones.

Meshuggah. They are definately an acquired taste but one that i have acquired. Gojira is an interesting band too but don't quite achieve the same uniqueness
