i stopped listening to them after Riot Act, got back into them on the strength of Gone demo and Severed Hand, but then was very dissappointed in Avocado too.
the heavy handed and obvious lyrics kill both for me, but musically i can appreciate them.
luckily, they are still great live, even the songs from those two albums.
Give Riot Act another chance, it really grew on me over time to the point where I love it now (still don't like the S/T album at all).

its ok for me now. at first i hated it. my real problem isnt the songs, but their performances on the album. I love many of these songs live. just seems to me Eddie was having a bad day or something.
Binural let me down when I bought it, ONLY to the fact that I overhyped it. Toronto 98 was my first show, and no album after that could live up to the expectations I gave it in my own head. It took about 3 years, but I simply love it now.
