Maps & Atlases are great. They're one of those few math rock bands that somehow manages to make vocals not seem too out of place with frantic polyrhythmic goodness.

But still there are some math rock bands that have an incredible melody such as Toe, 65 Days Of Static and others and even if they don't have mellow rhythms some of there songs have a mellow part like Oxes.

^ or, as you suggest, fans of lead-oriented music ..Mathrockers tend to be true band units with less soloing and spotlighting

^ One thing is for sure, most Math Rock is almost completely based around rhythm from the percussion to the guitar playing. Those looking for some kind strummy riffting or catchy guitar playing will almost surely be disappointed imo. In Don Cab.'s case, most of their songs seem to revolve around the drummer (which i really dig) so fans of more mellow sounds probably wouldn't like it. (i assume)

Can you tell us why you don't like those bands? What's lacking in their sound? I may be able to help you, but I have to what's the problem first.

I just think that Trephine and many other Math Rock bands are totally underrated. But perhaps it's because its a "newly discovered genre".

which is why it gets put in with the post/experimental crowd. everything on this site by definition is closely related to prog's main theme. listen to Don Caballero, Battles, or Hela, there is definitely a uniquely unifying sound around these bands that warrants the label.
