Personally, I haven't liked them much since their first album, though I thought
their first was incredibly good - gutsy,profitic,truth-like. When the second
one came out, they became 'popular' and seemed to soak their angst schtick for
all it was worth.

Agreed. I caught their Paradise show in Boston which was excellent (though I
did not run into anyone body-slamming). They are slowly becoming one of my all
time favorites.
