The guitar is nothing special, just a bunch of little riffs that are a bit technical but just plain boring. Lyrics are pretentious and the vocals don't fit well into the music. Granted, I find them better than most other "post-hardcore" bands out there, but they're still nothing special. I don't see how you can not get bored by this... you just can't feel any emotion behind it. It feels like they're playing just to play (and it feels that way live, too). I wish it was less technical, because as it is it's far too rigid/structured. I would compare them to The Fall of Troy (not quite so boring as they, though), maybe, or an even less interesting At the Drive-In. I'm sure I could find a number of other bands who remind me of them, but I don't listen to them as I find them boring and emotionless.
