But, like I said, that's the only album of theirs that I'm familiar with, so I could be dead wrong
Go listen to Petitioning the Empty Sky and Jane Doe, their second and third albums, to listen to Converge in the form that metalcore fans know them. Both also far superior albums.

Petitioning the Empty Sky

Jane Doe
