Metal thread of Metalness, or Hawk needs music

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

@Lev; I actually saw Dream Theater at Download last year. If they didn't do it for me then, I doubt they're gona do it for me now if I have to listen to 3 albums back to back before they get good. Just sayin'.

@MuMu and Mondt; PTH is a bit too.. chaotic, if that's the right word, for me. I'm sure it's all very difficult stuff, but it doesn't particularly sound all that great.

@Gunslinger; I gave them a listen. Sounded a bit too pop-musicy really. Maybe I picked the wrong songs to listen to, but yeah, not feeling it.

@Rejected; I know and like Devil Driver, saw them live last year too. Can't stand Lamb though and most of those others are that whole, "incomprehensible screamo" style that I mentioned that I dislike in the OP. Coal Chamber sound too much like Static X, only not as good. All that Remains are cool though, I shall give them a go I think.

@Raredy; Ah no problem then dude, you've given me plenty of new stuff to listen to already, so I'll add those to my list to check out in the future, along with Gwyllion and Amberian Dawn there, cos they both sound cool too.
