Yeah they're not my favorite personally. I'm not super into symphonic metal and their particular brand of it just sounds extremely "noisy" to me, like I'm at a festival listening to a death core band and there's a power metal band on the next stage whose sound is bleeding over. I'm more of a Signs of the Swarm guy.
That being said I can't stop watching Ramos' one-takes, and I love the bands' breakdowns (although I'm already seeing their style become trendy and its definitely gonna get old at some point).
I feel like their breakdowns are already kind of old, like they force the same half time into half time into half time break for every song. But on the flipside, I love the symphonic blend and how they mix in a lot of technicality and melody into their guitar and drum parts. Different strokes!
