Converge/YMMV

• 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":

Bleeding softly
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.
