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.
Wierd. I don't get that at all from them. Especially live.
