I know, but I hate to hear Metal when it's thin and weedy sounding or too polished, sounds better thick and solid.  A lot of those Metal bands sound ok on general listening headphones, but put them though monitoring headphones and it can turn unbearably nasty.  The Gojira track sounds surprisingly good even on the monitors which is pretty rare with Metal music such as that (that's a compliment).

To me, Pop music generally sounds better polished, but Metal should have lead balls and be held together with grit, and the last thing you want for "lead balls" is excessive mids washing over it.  Classical and Orchestral is a measured mixture of the two and sounds like shit if it's not approached in elements (IE: a bass needs it's bass, but triangles and tambourines need air).  Rock falls somewhere between Pop and Metal when it sounds good.
