They are one of the very best metal bands ever if you ask me, and most definitly progressive! Even though their albums might get too long and they can get a bit irritating if one isnt totally up for them... other moments just shine... like "I", which as I have said many times before, is, for me, the ultimate metal song!

They're a Prog Metal band and a good one at that. They mix the qualities of math rock with the attitude of metal.

I can see why you don't like them, but they're still prog (metal).

They are prog, they arn't the best, they arn't the worst, over all a good listen though they are hard to listen to for long periods of time, just to much for me.

umm... Catch 33 anybody? I love it. I think it kept them progressive. I think the only issue I had with them was the vocals, too "hardcore".... But I got used to them, and now I realize that I wouldn't want them to sound any different at all.

I haven't heard "I" yet tho....... I really want to.

Definitely a progressive metal band, and yeah they are one of the finest out there. One of my all time favorites. They are clearly not foe everybody. What other progressive metal bands do you like (that is if you even like one)?  What albums have you heard from Meshuggah  so far?

Ok I must say I don't really like Meshuggah's music, I don't think they're Prog at all, they're just a metal band, and pity we found them in a "Prog site", I don't think they have much to do here, I really think they do belong to metal sites only, it's just too noisy and pointless stuff to me, some people even say they're some sort of "avant-metal" but I don't quite agree with that, in fact there are plenty of much better metal bands to check out, IMO.
(This is not a hate-poll Tongue, I just want to know what's your thinking about Meshuggah )

Now, what do you think of them?
