It's not noise at all, it's all very melodic and filled with great hooks, they just aren't rock songs. Takes some time to get used to.
Oh, I tried plenty of time to get into it. Just couldn't get on board. I was seriously extremly bored and irritated listening to Kid A and Amnesiac. I quit on them after those two.
Californication - RHCP. To be fair, its been more than a decade before I've liked anything by them, but this song puts me into a bad mood for some reason.
On the flip side, one band that I seriously have a hate on for is Billy Talent. Yet I loved Rusted from the Rain.
The lead singer of Billy Talent can get a bit annoying, but i think they've come up with some of the better riffs of the last 6 or 7 years or so.
When I read the title the 2 songs that came to mind were:
Bugs by Pearl Jam on Vitagoly and Fitter Happier by Radiohead on OK Computer. Both are great albums but those are 2 super crap songs (if you can even classify them as songs).

They are ot perfect albums, and they have their weaker tracks, but also contain some fantastic music, as do In Rainbows and Hail to the Thief.
I just thought of a song on an album that I usually skip over.
Cold Day in the Sun on the Foo Fighters In Your Honor album disc 2. It is by no means a bad song (I like it, actually), but it just doesn't go with the flow of that disc.

It's always fun to ruin Pantera for some of their more obnoxious fans. It's surprising how few of them don't realize that Cowboys From Hell wasn't their first album.
You're completely right. They had 4 albums as a power metal band, but nobody knows or admits it. Then again, I never liked any of their songs.
Oddly enough, this album has the highest overall rating of theirs on Encylcopaedia Metallum.
