i hear the new one isn't as embarrasing as their last album.
i love them!!! i love how simple their music is yet every album of them is different and has a different texture to it. i'm digging the older stuff mostly myself for the past couple of months (born annoying, strap it on, meantime).
and the lineup is pretty fucked up, it's page hamilton and the guitar player from orange 9mm and two other dudes i've never heard of.
i call them the ramones of metal, because they stripped everything down to the simplest of things and became pretty much the second most influential metal/hard rock band of the past decade-plus (influencing contemporaries like prong and quicksand, to bands like pantera, white zombie and tool to hardcore bands like earth crisis and sick of it all to utter crap bands like the entire nu metal contingent).
