I absolutely love a lot of the poppier songs on Ire Works -- "Milk Lizard" is probably one of my favorite metal songs of all time -- but their mathcore songs are almost unlistenable at times. To me, Converge did what they did while remaining accessible, and still outdoing them in terms of brutality. Would love to see them live though, as I imagine it would be utter chaos, and I've heard they have exceptional showmanship. I heard one story of their vocalist climbing into the rafters of a venue during a song while still performing.
