Which Meshuggah albums are their best work? Also, which version of Nothing is better? I have heard mixed things about the re-release and am thinking of going with the original. |

Catch33 > Destroy Erase Improve > Contradiction's Collapse > Chaosphere > Nothing imo Catch33 is just the coolest thing ever... DEI/CC have awesome riffage... Chaosphere and Nothing have pretty boring riffs that don't really go anywhere. |

Destroy Erase Improve is probably the best place to start. Chaosphere is their most aggressive work, but takes a real long time before the songs start to sink in. |

I've always liked Chaosphere the most, though Destroy Erase Improve is really growing on me. |

Nothing Yes way, it's slower than their other stuff and much sparser, and the riffs are monumental. |

Destroy Erase Improve, definetely. It's the easiest to get into by far but still the best one they have made. Future Breed Machine=pwnZ |

Looks like they are all great records  . I am thinking of getting Destroy Erase Improve, Catch 33, and Nothing as they all are very different from eachother and cover a wide spectrum.
So which version of Nothing is best? Original or remaster? |

Original or remaster? I have the original, and it sounds very organic and awesome. I heard a song from the remaster and I didn't like it too much. It was too clean for that kind of music.

I haven't heard the re-recording, but I think the main difference is that they re-recorded it with their new guitars (forget how many strings) that they used on Catch 33. On a side note, I was just wondering, with Catch 33, is it just one song broken up into 13 parts, or is it 2 or 3 songs? |

Well I just bought both DEI and the original Nothing. From what I heard, the differences between both the remaster and the original is the remaster has 8 string guitars, filtered vocals, and the drumming is done by a machine and is more quiet and less impressive. The guitars are more crisp in the remaster though. |

Yeah the Nothing re-issue was recorded with 8 string guitars instead of downtuned 7 string guitars, and they tinkered with the drum sound a bit. Personally I don't really think it matters... the reissue has slightly bigger/fuller guitar sound but otherwise isn't all that difference. From what I've read Catch33 is one big song. |

They're all different, and all good. Start at the beginning, work chronologically: Contradictions Collapse - Jazz-Thrash. Awesome. Destroy, Erase, Improve - Industrial Death Metal. Awesome. Chaosphere - Heavy-as-fuck Death/Grind. Awesome. Nothing - Spaced-out groove metal. Awesome. I - Mix of the above. Good, but more fan-directed, I'd say. Catch 33 - Spaced-out groove metal with ambient bits. Awesome. All grow on you as you listen, esp. the last four. The True Human Design EP is worth a listen as well, a great slowed-down version of Future Breed Machine plus an acoustic version being the highlights. |

Amazing how much I've been getting into these guys lately, through Chaosphere - when I first listened to it, I couldn't even BEGIN to describe its suckage, so horrible it sounded. Now I listen to it all the time. Hey, I've always believed in best albums being "grow on you"-type of albums, but not that you could downright love something you intially downright hated. |

Chaosphere's a right headfuck the first few listens, especially the last song. I still can't listen to that without skipping bits. |

Must be talking about that loooooong-ass... whatever it is... in Elastic? I can easily listen to that all the way through. Of course, this is coming from a guy who can listen to 60 minute songs with no problem at all. As for their best album, I would have to say Destroy, Erase, Improve. |
