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? ------------- My entertainment dollar is burning in my pocket! |

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  ------------- WWOSD? What Would OliverStoned Do? |

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... ------------- My entertainment dollar is burning in my pocket! |

Get out!!! If you haven't at least heard of Meshuggah go to http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1692 - 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. |

From these, I think Nothing remastered or DEI.
But can't choose!

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!

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??? ------------- My entertainment dollar is burning in my pocket! |

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. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

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. 
The point is, get DEI first. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

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

Thanks to all... umm, I think I might just make this simple and buy them all now (if I can) cause everybody seems to love all their albums. Such confusion!!!! Cheers for the help!
