They definitely take some time to get into, no doubt, but they make some really really fucking great stuff. If you're just looking for a good place to start, I'd say check out Axe To Fall or All We Love We Leave Behind, those two albums are definitely more accessible than their older stuff. They're easily one of my favorite bands though, I haven't heard an album by them that I didn't either think was pretty damn good or love so far. If it makes you feel better though I feel the same way about The Devil and Gods are Raging Inside Me by Brand New (Deja Entendu kicks ass though)
