I don't dislike them, but I don't find them very interesting either. From the stuff I've heard from them on youtube they are pretty repetitive.

They're actually anything but repetitive, but I could understand someone saying that. Plus they're not a band I suspect a lot of people would like.
I need to go eat some lunch and do some other stuff, so I will be back later.

A common gripe. They intentionally utilize repetition as part of their style. But not everybody likes that style.

Meshuggah aren't atonal.
All their music is based off of jazz and phrygian scales.

I too find Meshuggah a little too repetitive at times, but it's not nearly enough to prevent me from listening to them.

I don't mind repetition, but only if it's used in certain ways, like the first 6 minutes of Kayo Dot's The Antique, which basically is only one riff. Maybe I haven't listened to enough Meshuggah to really get to know them, but I couldn't care all too much anyway.

If I'm like, actively listening to music (like music and nothing else), then that's the only time I find major repetition to be boring.

Repetition gets a bit boring about halfway through Philip Glass's Music in Twelve Parts.

I once downloaded a Robert Fripp for free from the official website, and it's basically 60 minutes without any kind of variation.

Music in Twelve Parts is 204min long, 12 sections of lengths 16-20m each...only subtle variation in any of the sections.
