I think what's going on is that I wish they'd make the electronic stuff a more significant part of the music instead of relegating to side salad status as they do in most of their songs. So far, the songs I've liked the most have consistently been the more electronic sounding ones.
imo, I think the synth is a more driving force in the music than any other aspect, it seems like the guitarist pretty much plays almost the exact same notes as the keyboardist. A Natural Death seems a lot more generic to me, I dont know the dude doesnt really scream the same and they try to put breakdowns in their songs so they can appeal to the metalcore kids
