hehe i am suprised more people didn't mention Dream Theater... they are like THE band for that IMHO (besides meshuggah) because it os odd time sigs but ALSO many polyrhythms and such which makes your head spin even more!!

For proof get this song

Dream Theater - The Dance Of Eternity

i gotta admit, i do like dream theater musically but overall it annoys me, cos of the guys voice, but i do appreciate the talent ,, it is meshuggah that do it everytime though ,, along with dillinger, and locked in a vacancy as well!, they are odd!

Cynic also have very strange time signatures.....

But I do believe that Dillinger have to the band with some of the craziest timings.....they change the time signature near enough in every couple of bars.....

i think dillinger rival meshuggah on it all really ,, the thing that sets em apart is the sheer ridiculous speed that dillinger manage to do it at as well ,, but there is something about the whole meshuggah sound that does it for me as well! ..

i have meshuggah tattooed across my back ,, i kinda like em!!!!!

but yeah, seen dillinger 4 times and it amazes me how they can actually play what they play live, whilst breaking stuff and generally throwing themselves around like they are on a ton of pcp!
