It.. all.. just.. sounds.. the same. He breaks up the monotony with a bunch of weird little sounds that usually don't work at all, sometimes are bizarrely interesting, but usually just make me go, "Man, didn't Sonic Youth (and a thousand other weird guitar bands) do something like that on one of their first albums, but they actually had a good song behind it, TOO?"

I agree they have no integrity. Sellout shitheads, really. Major label idiots.

RAGE INSIDE THE MANSION should be their name.

I argue again:

1) hip hop drum work
2) no solos
3) loud crust/hardcore vocals on chorus

this is similar to rap-rock though rap rock which precedes nu-metal specifically has the addition of

4) rapping
5) hip hop bass lines/guitar licks
6) samples
