Bands like Between the Buried and Me? Progressive metal?

Question

Let me start off by saying that I don't like most metal, or any of its sub genres. However, I love the album Colors by Between the Buried and Me. I find it very unique how they incorporate so many genres of music into their songs. I love the composition. The time signature and key changes. It's truly some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Please only recommend me music if you've heard the album, all of their other albums are different. 

I'd like something progressive. It doesn't mater how heavy it is, as long as it immediately catches my attention. 99.99999% of these metal bands sound the same to me, I want something truly unique and attention grabbing. People hate BTBAM and I don't understand why. On that same note I don't know all that much about progressive metal (or whatever you wanna classify them as).

I don't care about genres. I don't care to break down a metal band and say they're this or that. Give me something that defies genre classification. Just don't give me some crappy metalcore band.

Thank you for reading my uneducated rant on music. Let me know if there's anything I might enjoy.
