Their drummer once joked that Meshuggah actually writes everything in 4:4
I wonder if there is something to that

I did a really simple track by repeating a 4/4 phrase and a 7/4 phrase on a sequencer which was liked far more than anything I actually put effort into!
Just googled a random guitar tab [1], and can see 4 different (3 very odd) time signatures in the first 20 seconds or so. Perhaps Meshuggah's style is a mix of both quirky signatures (11:8, 7:4 etc) and quirky use of traditional signatures (4:4, 8:4).
