Reason I'm asking is cause I'm posed with buying either of the 3 and I don't own any Meshuggah (sadly)yet so am keen to see most people's reaction to which is better! Obviously I can't vote but will no doubt end up buying the best album!

So now the question - Which is better in your opinion and why?

Definetly get Chaosphere, it is their best. However if you absolutely must select between those three I would get Nothing. (havent heard Destroy, Erase, Improve though)  Wonderful band  Clap

I would but... the price I can get theother 3 are practically daylight robbery! If I told you the price, you'd want to know where I got it. Let's say say it's well under 5 British Pounds.  ;)  

But yeah, I've heard a lot about Chaospere so it's on my hit-list of needed CD's.

And before someone suggests I buy all the CD's, with my budget on other CD's right now I can't afford it...

Get out!!! If you haven't at least heard of Meshuggah go to  http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1692  and listen to the streming. It's heavy prog metal and it's awesome! Then go and buy Chaosphere - apparently...

Best price won't get you the most satisfaction...this is music were talking about.
But!, Nothing is a great CD, just make sure it's the remaster.

I am a Catch 33 fan, out of the options presented, while I is my favorite, but all of their albums have different flavor, get them all is my best advice :)

I would just buy all/either Chaosphere, Catch 33, I and/or Nothing. They are all equally brilliant. I would just buy the cheapest! Tongue

That's what I'll probably do to be honest. Although, if I had to choose - right now I'm a buy "Nothing" and if I can DEI... But I need one extra vote - who shall grant me the deciding one???

Make sure the Nothing you buy is the re-release with the blue cover though

I prefer the original version actually, and it's better to get that one before the re-release to fully understand the difference between those two.

DEI got me re-interested in metal. After that album I was a little disappointed with the sound quality of the subsequent albums. The poly-rythmic feel was still there, but I thought the next few albums lacked contrast. I and Catch-33 seem to recapture those elements. Soulburn was the first song from them I heard, I was in the car and had to pull over when I heard the drums in the intro. Sick. Wacko
 
The point is, get DEI first.

I agree with all of this.  So from the list, I chose DEI.
