They are a very good band, but I refuse to call them a great band as Steal This Album was very poor. Only a couple of tracks worth listening to in fact. But s/t was excellent and Toxicity was pretty much flawless.
Also, they hold the title as best band I've seen live, ahead of Slayer, Glassjaw, Sepultura and Static X.
I promoted SOAD when they first broke way back when and thought it was some of the absolute oddest metal I had ever heard. Glad to see they are still goin' strong, too.
For those who think "Sugar" is the best they can do, what about "DDevil"? "Deer Dance"? "Soil"???
Hell, if you don't have their cover of "The Metro" by The Clash, get it nowwwwwwwwwww.
