I think IDM (or cerebral electronic music as a whole) is far more like modern classical music.

Maps and atlases really aren't math rock.

Tree, Swallows, Houses, the only album worth listening to by them, certainly is.

It certainly is math rock, but it's certainly not the only thing worth listening to by them. Unless all you care about is math rock.

^idk, other albums never really appealed to my interests for whatever reason.

Nah man, listen to it again, its all in 4/4. Maps and Atlases sound like it but they really aren't.
