Well, heh, that's why I said 'tr00', as in, sorta taking the piss. I have a load of elitist metal mates and they piss me off massively. What I mean is that I know that slipknot are dually the most over-and-underrated band in metal - all the 'tr00 kvlt metuhlhedz' reject it because it's commercial, and the fanboys just can't stop screaming about them all the time.

Truth is, as far as I'm concerned, they're decent but nothing to really shout about.

As far as it goes for Gallows and Converge.... I don't really know. I've certainatly listened to noisier music (Locust and The Berzerker and Ladyscraper and such) so that's not the problem, but something about both of them just strikes me as being really unimaginative. Hard to put my finger on if I'm honest.
