DEVIN TOWNSEND men and women!
This guy is a musical genius! Anything you want to hear, he's created - heavy, soft, pop, punk, etc.. three polar examples here::
(PS - What is most amazing about Townsends music, is his ability to layer things so creatively. It sometimes just sounds like a mess - but it's always structured - it's a matter of allowing your ear to adjust to his intensity. But he always notably gets the emotional aspect of his song across simply through sound - lyrical value only adds to this after you can make sense of it! Progressive example #2 is a perfect example, as the lyrics may seem completely retarded to you all ("Cheeseburger!!"). But in the grand scheme of things, it makes perfect sense!!!
HEAVY AS ****, RAGE MUSIC!!
Yeah, if you're pissed, this music should put you in a good place of telling everyone off! (in this song, he's basically telling the poltergeist off - that it'll never scare him, and that it should die!)

HEAVY & Progressive
A little more complicated for those who aren't used to polyrythms and polymetrics

SOFTCORE!
Very pretty - almost TOO pretty! Such a well pieced together song. Only one of the many examples, but a good one at that!
