As title really. Hopefully looking for bands that are loud (screaming!?) but also have good easy to understand lyrics (even cheesy!?). Heres some songs I like as an examples (not many as I'm just getting into this genre):

Rage against the machine - Killing in the name of
Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country, Unholy Confessions.
System of a Down - Chop Suey, Bounce.


Any similar bands and their best albums would be appreciated! So far on the list I'm going to get Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down - Toxicity.
 
Reuben.

They have 3 albums, one just been released. I think you will like them.
Maybe try Gallows as well, although they're not metal but you might like them also.

For a Syndrome of a Downs album, get the first one. They haven't written any new songs since then anyway.

Other than that, Our Problem, Iron Monkey and Ruined By Idiots by Iron Monkey.

Infotainment? by Pitch Shifter, Www.pitchshifter.com and Deviant by Pitchshifter.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Science by Glassjaw

Sons of the Pioneers by The Workhorse Movement

Opiate, Undertow and Ænima by Tool

Cleansing by Prong

A Vulger Display of Power by Pantera

White Pony by Deftones

Broke by (hed) P E

Babylon by Skindred

Terria by Devon Townsend

Relationship of Command by At The Drive In

Osc Dis by Mad Capsule Markets

Title of Record by Filter

Halldór Laxness by Mìnus

that should get you started...some decent, accesable albums.

Thanks for the replys I'll have a look round the town today and see what I can pick up and order others. I'll let you know what I think :)
 
I think Penski has covered quite a few good choices in there (I now have "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" by Prong stuck in my head), I would also grab some Clawfinger as well - "Use Your Brain" is quite a good one to start with.

They have a new one? Ooh.

I remember the days of Deaf, Dumb, Blind. I loved that album way back. Tell me the Truth or whatever it is was one of my favourites, that and rosegrove. Cheesy as hell but really good fun.

What about Megadeth & Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden certainly has a good number of great songs, if you can get past the I've-crushed-my-balls singing style.
