Converge/YMMV

"Bleeding softly
 * Growing the Beard: While never a bad band, they really seemed to find their feet after hiring drummer Ben Koller: it's no coincidence that the first album he played on, Jane Doe, is universally considered to be their best.
 * Hell Is That Noise: Phoenix In Flames. Sweet dreams.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Jacob Bannon's visual art may come off as this to some.
 * Some of Jacob's earlier lyrics are more than a little creepy. From "Year of the Swine":

It's late and my ears can't listen

and there is no one to lift me to my feet

But still I dream of you

twisting and contorting beneath a garbage bag veil"


 * Magnum Opus: Jane Doe is generally agreed to be their greatest moment.
 * Wangst: A common criticism of Jacob Bannon's lyrics, which is why it's convenient that no one can understand his vocals anyway.
