Skindred (alternative, metal, reggae, rock, genre)

Just got hold of their latest album ROOTS ROCK RIOT and I have to say I'm disappointed again! Their debut did'nt blow my socks off, but I though I would give them the benefit of the doubt. They have the potential to make some really intense yet groovy music utilising their Reggae and Metal roots (two genres i love), but it just ends up sounding like an average metal core album with some horribly bland melodies thrown in. Although they incorporate Ska, The Flaming Tsunamis still manage to sound original and intense so why can't Skindred? Any other similar bands out there who will get my rocks off more than this average tosh?
