Math rock usaully denotes very complex and sometimes long songs which are extremely dynamic. I don't know much about music theory, but a friend who does was telling me the changes in an Ativin song and within the span of about a minute it went from 4/4 to 11/7 to 5/4 to 7/8. (Those numbers may be wrong, but you get the picture). Usaully all instrumental as well, and very atmospheric and moody as well. THE math rock band is Don Caballero. I've mentioned this before, but I can definitely see "What Burns Never Returns" being very easy to digest by most list members. Incredibly intricate and fast drum programming, I mean drumming and crazy sounds from a guitar and bass. (One of the song titles is "Delivering the Groceries at 120 Beats Per Minute"). Others, which are math rocky include: Ativin, June of '44, Storm & Stress (more on a free jazz vein), A Minor Forest, and Purkinje Shift.
