There also is a European jewelcase version with its details unknown. There was also a promo version of the album in white cardboard casing, and the disc has a picture of a brain. It says; "promo 121", as well as the regular production number.

It is generally considered by fans and critics alike to be a significant creative achievement and is regarded as one of the most influential metal albums of the '90s.

Destroy Erase Improve was groundbreaking in its use of polyrhythm and off-time thrash beats, and established these elements as instantly recognizable trademarks of Meshuggah's music. Some jazz fusion elements are present in some songs such as "Future Breed Machine", "Acrid Placidity", and "Sublevels".

The track "Future Breed Machine" is often used as a closer to their live performances.
