My thoughts: I always like seeing lists like this despite the never-ending conflict between the people who like putting genre labels on bands and the people who say fuck off with genre labels. I think they fucked up the metalcore lists the most, with the biggest WTF being The Dillinger Escape Plan. Surprised to see no Gothenburg bands. But fuck yeah, Between the Buried and Me definitely deserves that spot on the prog metal big 4
