They have an original sound. If you hear them on the radio, you can tell who it is by the first few bars. Vocally, they are somewhat talented. The range is nice. Personally, I like the softer songs. Toxicity was good, Mesmerize was good, Hypnotize is okay. They are good live, unlike some crappy banRAB that do good in the studio then get on a stage and bang on the front of the guitar hoping to make some good noise. Yeah, it maybe simple riRAB, but not everyone can play the guitar amazingly. They are pollitically charged, I respect them for that.
And seriously, just because a majority of the senior merabers dont like this band doesnt mean its ****ty music. I'm tired of that crap.
