I have a bit of a problem: I really like system of a down, usually because I have no clue what their song is about but they keep it simple while changing it up so i never get bored of listening. Its pretty unique, giving it a love it or hate it vibe with people. I also really like Maximum the Hormone. You may have never heard of them but they became big ish by doing anime theme songs for Akagi and Death note. Their first album was absolute garage band rubbish, probably one of those acts thats only good live, but every album after that has gotten better and better. Basically, i like it when metal can switch it up and be imaginative yet lyrical/melodical. I'm not terribly into the crazy ass riffs and screamo stuff. What would you guys recommend for me? I tried slipknot but that didnt gel with me too much. Same with marylin Manson, some of his songs are great but for the most part im not engaged enough in the music to want to listen to the whole album.
other bands I like are pendulum (in silico was more or less crap though), muse, pink floyd, and a few radiohead albums. hendrix and zeppelin dont usually get a listen from me. maybe a "best of" album but nothing more.
Slipknot and Marylin Manson are really not metal. Check out some of these guys on Youtube, see if something sticks for you:
Be'lakor
Dark Tranquillity
Darkane
Diablo
Eternal Tears Of Sorrow
Gojira
Hypocrisy
