I am really a fan of Meshuggah, and find their rhythmic construction to be very challenging to understand. I have started transcribing some songs, but it really takes a while to do this. Does anyone have any recomendations of other bands that have a similar style, maybe even a little simpler, in the hopes that this polyrhythmic style will become easier to digest? I am mostly interested in the not so recent material that is more busy/thrash ortiented.
meshuggah..others??

Have you tried Actual Time? They have a very similar rhythmic structure, and they don't have the god-awful vocals (all instrumentl). Scott used to post here (the guitarist) from time to time.
I have both those cds, and find them very interesting and full of cool rhythms and playing. They are a good example of a similar rhythmic style to meshuggah, I need some more bands like that to listen to. I would also like to get more thrash- oriented stuff, if thats the correct category, in the hopes of finding music somewhat like Destroy Erase Improve.
well, it's not exactly like it, but try Mastodon and Lethargy, if you haven't already.
They're more hardcore than thrash, but those 2 genres are fairly similar anyway. Great technical stuff, though, especially the drumming. Brann Dailor is moving up my list of favorites quickly.

speaking of which, your sites page on theory in practice is wrong. Johan Ekman did lead vocals and rhythm (and some lead) guitar on the first album which doesn't seem to be on there.

Agreeee.....
yeah, MASTODON and LETHARGY , two guys that play in mastodon are from lethargy (drummer and guitarist).
I think lots of similiar killer musick (with different roots),
The Dillinger Escape Plan, Spiral Architect, Sieges Even, Candiria, Today is The Day ("In The Eyes of God" , the guitarist and drumer from Lethargy have join in this album, before they make Mastodon), Converge "Jane Doe", Death (with Richard Cristy on drums), Cephalic Carnage, The End (this canada answer to dillinger escape plan)
