When I first heard that album, I thought it was going to be better, or at least jazzy, but in reality it's not even close, it's again technical, complex, dissonant, some times melodic, kind of experimental, it's metal and evidently for meshuggah fans only

And please, let's not confuse good metal musicianship with jazz, those things are totally opposite in every sense.

There's a Bill Laswell/Tony Williams project with Buckethead called Arcana (also the name of the company where I work) that fits the Jazz Metal shoe.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

ATHEIST were a sort of progressive techno-thrash metal band who released three fantastic albums between 1989 and 1993. Their second release "Unquestionable Presence" (1991) is maybe one of the most technical albums ever recorded by an heavy-metal band. "Elements" (1993) is an incredible album, characterised by pyrotechnician fusion lashes!!!

I don't see why Cynic is winning. Focus is the best jazz metal of all time, but I think people are not look at bands in a whole. It has only been one album. Meshuggah gets my vote.

Got to be Watchtower follow closely by Spiral Architect and Spastik Ink, trully amazing bands, they play a complex metal with jazzy influence and the result is a fantastic one, not boring just chalenging for every serious listner.
