First thing, and dont be offended but you need a good ear to really enjoy this stuff. I discoverd them right when i started out with music. I found to be utter shit then.
Now after a couple of years of playing and recording i can hear what is going on. The musical talent is enourmous in the band. The drummer(the drums are programmed on the first record but the second one has a real drummer.) is the only one you really hear but look up some guitar/bass tabs, its pretty hard to but fun to play.
And i suggest watching the dvd first before judging this band, the extra's show a very personal journey of the first album. It kinda explains why the first record sounded so shit.
