Very good band, IMHO...although I am a little disappointed in them of late. Their remix CD was a bunch of suck, from what I heard of it, and the fact that I don't like one of the songs on their latest knocks almost 10% of the CD out. Even so, they've done some really good stuff, and I agree w/ the quantity vs. quality argument on this one. I hope they don't make a habit of it though.

I like them, just bought the new CD. Even though its short, almost each and every song is good.

Yeah, and the DVD is kind of cool.

the new cd sounds pretty much just like the first one, you can almost match a song from the first one to a song on the second one. Also their songs are pretty much all the standard boring ababcb format, i have to give the new album a serious thumbs down.

No.

They have no talent.

Anybody can talk to a beat written by somebody else. It's the same as rap, but worse because it's done by whitie, always keepin' us down.

Not really. I don't really go for the whole screaming bit, and nothing against rap but it's just not my style. I can see where most people would like it, but honestly they sound kind of, well, retarded.

I saw them at Family Values tour last year and they are awesome live. They sounded better live than on the album.

Take a look at how long that #1 album was.

(Hint: It's pretty much the same length as the new one.)

Not my thing. Everything about them is mediocre, from the 13-yr-old-sounding whiny screaming, to the half-assed rapping, to the guitar "playing". I would much rather listen to a band that does at least one thing well.

That being said, the singles I've heard seem better than a lot of other modern crap. Mainstream music is in sad shape these days.
