Holy bump Batman! 
 
Diablo Swing Orchestra is a very original metal band, I'm starting to love them.

I love MGMT, they're almost prog-related if I'm not mistaken.

I'd definitely recommended Riverside's ADHD, there's alot of good music crammed into each song, and as the name suggest it never stays in one place or on a particular theme. However, my favorite is Outside Myself, "Loose Heart" is one of my favorite songs. Second Life Syndrome is very good as well, haven't really gotten a feel for Rapid Eye Movement yet, so I'll put off judgment for now.

I found Riverside quite disappointing. Musically they're a bit dull and the lyrics/vocals can be a little cringey at times.

^Anno Domini... sounds more Prog Metal-ish, but I prefer the more atmospheric Second Life Syndrome, though I don't think it's as great as some say it is.

That album is actually quite good... pretty eclectic, definitely surprised me.

^ Speaking about Polish prog, I never really liked Second Life Syndrome all that much... I think I gave it a 2 star in my review.

Possibly their worst in my opinion.
 
It occurs to me relistening to RATM's back catalogue that the band may have been successful despite Zach, not because of him.

Friend of mine was getting annoyed at the sleeve notes to my Squeeze compilation, which say things like the guitar solo on Another Nail In My Heart is "the ultimate test of a player's mastery of the instrument and probably the greatest of all time" and that Tender "consistently tops international Best Song Ever polls" and so on. He was ranting about how they're alright but how dare they right such excessive self-praising rubbish etc, unaware that the whole thing was a joke. Squeeze's first hits compilation was called "Squeeze Classics Vol. 25" so they do things like that.

Finally checked out The Modern Lovers after having them recommended for ages and.... blurgh. Not liking them at all. That's just a first impression though, may change later if it grows on me.

I wish I could take a month off just to catch up on my stack of CDs (and books) - I am too much of a hoarder. xD
