I find that I get more relaxed when I listen to angry aggressive music. For a while I couldn't figure out why, but then it occurred to me that the music is an outlet for my own anger (not that I do anything while listening, I just listen), and it seems that hearing the anger expressed by the music somehow also releases some of my own anger. I can't recall being irritated by soothing music, except by that awful stuff they play on the phone sometimes (yeuch), but maybe it feels like it is forcing you to be calm and relaxed, when you don't feel that way, maybe it feels kind of oppressive. It's possible it would make me feel that way if I was in an angry kind of mood. Which is a lot of the time, I'm afraid...
