I try to accept all genres, I'm not a big metalcore lover though (like BMTH as you've mentioned). But you're spot on with what you said about that collaboration.
I wasn't a fan of her first album, I just thought she was incredibly sexy. That being said, I was really surprised with her new release, it's a good 4/5 for me and I was more impressed with it than A Dramatic Turn Of Events!
It's such a trippy and distorted album, the lyrics are difficult but in a good way! Check this track out, it's an 8 minute instrumental which sounds like some old school Final Fantasy game music.
