I agree with RJ about Silverstein, first two albums are good (don't know about "fucking great") new one sucked. TDWP is pretty good, off their two albums I made a full burnt CDR of songs I really like and I've never heard of ill Scarlet. If that was a typo and you just ment Scarlet the...
If you like Norma Jean check out:
7 Angels 7 Plagues
August Burns Red
The Chariot (Norma Jean's first vocalist band)
Manhattan Skyline

Norma Jean is metalcore, totally totally different then "real" emo, like not even close.
And yes, Norma Jean is a great band. One of a few metalcore bands that I didn't eventually become bored of their music.
I've been listening to this album a lot in the early morning when I have opening shifts at the theater. Agitated Radio Pilot is the Minimalist Folk project of Dave Colohan from Ireland who has been in too many bands to name (check myspace bio for a list.) Really fucking good relaxing music...
I saw BTBAM, Norma Jean and Fear Before the March... in concert and that shit was brutal. All the bands were great but BTBAM is just so fucking dope live.
Don't like Dream Theater at all, not a huge fan of 3, but I'm going to go for BTBAM and Opeth for sure. Both of those bands are just sick. Good looking out on the dats RJ.
Another album I listen too a lot is a superband side project of sorts including members of Isis, Cave In, Converge, Zozobra and Agoraphobic Nosebleed. The band is called Old Man Gloom and they kick major ass. Here is my favorite album by them but IMO all their shit rocks.
Old Man Gloom -...
I honestly don't think there is a week that goes by that I don't listen to this album all the way through atleast once. I'm almost positive I've linked it before but I don't give a fuck. One of my favorite sludge/stoner bands/albums of all time.
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone...
I actually bought the EP as well as downloaded if before it came out. I like it. It will hold me over until their next full length.
That's also that Girltalk dude you listen too in the back throwing up the peace sign (atleast thats what the caption said I think.) I guess he did a real remix...
