I managed to listen to a whole minute and a half of Coin Operated Boy before I got sick of it.
And there is no way I'm going to see them live. If they're playing with a band I like, or at a Con I want to be at, that's one thing. But I won't drop any amount of money to see them.
They grow on some people. I absolutely hated/mocked the crap out of them the first time I saw them live (they opened for someone I paid to see... I think it might've been Nine Inch Nails), but they were handing out free 3-song CD promos and, after listening to it a couple times, I started to dig it.
Yes, Virginia is a decently put-together album. Backstabber is a catchy-as-hell song.
