I see your point, but I am not your general music enthusiast either - prooved by your own statement. I find every single one of the artists/bands interesting in different ways, according to situation and mood.
City of Evil is without a doubt a fantastic album, and me myself struggle to call A7X metalcore - as they haven't been since Sounding the Seventh Trumphet and parts of Waking the Fallen. City of Evil and their selftitled albums are more a mix-up of rock, clean metal, metalcore and trash.
