I don't think there is such thing as "violent" music. It's just how you interpret it.
EDIT: I'm annoyed I missed the argument going on earyler. But i'm agreeing with OANST. Modest Mouse are F
ucking good and have much more originality then metal bands. Metal bands may sound cool and flashy but how many have done it before? Loads. If you've heard one solo then you have heard them all.
Modest Mouse on the other hand have changed with each album. Just try and compare Float On to Beachside Property without thinking they are different bands.
EDIT.2:
:
I think it shows a lot of integrity to stay true to your roots instead of buying into this bullcrap that on every album you have to "evolve" or experiment. Evolve by staying the same.

In 2000 Radiohead released Kid A, to the band it was staying true to their roots and for the rest of the world it was "Experimental Crap". Either way it went to the #1 spot in the US and UK and many other countries. On top of this it was leaked a few weeks before release, and had no singles released from it.
And if a band stayed the same for every album, you'd get bored of them right? Thats why I love bands like Radiohead and Modest Mouse and Blur, they evolve so much. You appreciate different music style too which is a good bonus.
