the first time I checked out Shadows Fall I didn't like them but I'm willing to check them out again.

What album/singles would you recommend?

The War Within - it's a good mix of screamo and Hetfield-ish vocals - other albums are either or

i think it's mostly because they're more brutal

A7X is just too MELODIC for my liking

lol that's what I LIKE about A7X that they became more melodic over time.

Their first two albums were a bit rough on my ears but I dealt with it but once they got to that City album...I really loved them more.

it really depends on the type of melodicism - A7X is heading more into a commercial direction

Paradise Lost are melodic too, but it's a kinda ethereal melodicism and I love them for it

that's what I love though, I don't care that it's commercial direction or more polished/produced sound. that's what I like.

I know some people like the more raw live-ish type sound but that's not for me.

I find both bands to be rather tedious sounding. They are both very popular in So-Cal, but way too melodic and technical for my taste.

I remember seeing them for free, and got what I paid for. I do not think they are terrible, but I would like to see them spend less time wanking their instruments and more time playing them. Never saw the big deal in them though, just a run of the mill metalcore band to me.

They're better than Seether or Three Days Grace, but in the end they're still cheesy and disposable. Post-grunge that pretends to be metal.

I'm ashamed to say that I like them. I saw them in concert once and they put on a pretty good show although there was a guy in front of me saying how they're "teh best metal band EVER11!" I considered punching him for that remark
