They sound very unsettling and make the music uncomfortable to listen to, giving it a unique atmosphere. Even the instrumentals sound great, with some nice guitar riffs and even piano pieces.

I tried listening to Silencer out of curiosity. The vocals made me burst out laughing. I can appreciate mentally deranged, but this just sounds hilarious to me and not depressive at all. I'm a very depressed human being who appreciates depressive music and I'm wishing I could see it, but I just don't.
The vocals do not unsettle me or make me uncomfortable, either. I like the instrumentals. Too bad...
Just my opinion, of course. You said it's not for everybody and that's very true.
Flying Lotus -
Cosmogramma
Trying to make more of an effort to delve into more diverse music. Got suggestions from a friend and I'm really enjoying this one! Flying Lotus is not at all what I was expecting,
