    Is this because of their weird, quite tiresome sound or their political / social undertones?

    For reasons which they could not comprehend, and in pursuance of a decision by default, on which they were never consulted, they found themselves made strangers in their own country.

    Patriot, I think the music itself is quite good.
    I especially like United States of Eurasia - You can definitely hear the Queen influence in this song.

    Some of their lyrics are ok. Its just the sound of them I like the most. And the fact they are something genuinely different. Funnily enough, the track LA mentioned is not one of my favourites, but maybe thats cuz I hated Queen.

    I'll admit there is the odd song that I do like, really like in fact.

    But listen to a whole album and you have to admit it all sounds pretty much the same, and it doesnt vary much album to album.

    Sure, the lyrics are cool but if they're gonna be sang in the exact same way I cant be arsed to listen.

    Just my opinion though

    Yeah I kinda agree about the singing but I think they have progressed since the first album, which was trying to be like the bends, since then they usually do about 5 or 6 great tracks per album and the others are just ok. But Absolution is the best one IMO

    They are brilliant live tho

    I don't really agree. Absolution is incredibly different to Black Holes, for instance. And Origin of Symmetry is very different to both. I'm with Doc that Absolution is the best album, though Hullabaloo is also great, and Unreleased and B Sides is a good album too (though obviously not with the same quality). Thought of a Dying Atheist - my favourite song I think. That and Hysteria.

    I would advise you to see them live if you get chance - probably one of the best musical experiences of my life!
