Contradictions Collapse is the debut album by Swedish heavy metal band Meshuggah. The album was released in May 1991 by Nuclear Blast.[3]Contradictions Collapse was originally titled (All This Because of) Greed. The album leans more towards a thrash metal[1] and alternative metal sound than the band's later works,[2] featuring heavy riffs and influences of hip hop and industrial dance in the drum patterns.[2] It was re-released as a digipak with an incomplete version of Meshuggah's second EP, None, in 1998,[2] with no liner notes or lyrics included in the booklet.
Allmusic critic Steve Huey wrote: "Although it's not quite as accomplished as their later work, it's certainly a worthwhile listen, especially for devoted fans."[2]
