DEP are very good , but :
1.They are too praised I think (MTV + Patton for the most part)
2.I listen to them rarely (but I enjoy it evey time I do)
Too bad Miss Machine lost some of the amazing guitar work CI , it's still a very good album.
Ion Dissonance are good but I don't need 1569 bands like DEP it's not my favorite genre at all.(I found The End useless and below DEP)
With the exception of DEP , I prefer mid-tempo core- music like Burst , Mastodon , Botch & Co. Even Converge though You Fail me is a HUGE letdown for me.
Anyway , DEP RULE live.
Edit : FNM comparison is accurate , because it's not one of my cult album either.
