This was an experience I'll never forget. Being a huge fan of Animals as Leaders, I had heard that this was a similar band, and I was interested. So, being a big ol' Progressive Metal fan, as I scanned through their albums trying to decide where to start, I saw this one had one track clocking in at 21 minutes long, and I thought "that's the one!" Well...I can't say it's my usual cup of tea, but I will say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the complex drumming, and the absolute ruthlessness of this album. I remember thinking, as I listened to this in my car, "I hope someone tries to carjack me. Because I will totally rip that person apart. I don't care how big they are, I can take them!"

This is my favorite Meshuggah release.
It's also the first thing I heard by them and one of the earliest prog anything I heard!
Love it still.

I was a bit let down with their overall discog, esp over time, but this and "DEI" are still brilliant.

Evidently a common effect on people, I get that way too.
This and Catch 33 are my two favorites of Meshuggah's.

Yep that´s also the impact Meshuggah has on me. I feel stronger when listening to their music.
