I disagree. I enjoy everything they've released, but C?Y!D?N! was a lull in the quality of their work, albeit a small one. FTGY is my favourite release.

"Anti-Tiger is their last true work, everything after that is sellout garbage." ... oh boy! Their 2 EP's are great, but their work has gotten increasingly better with every release since. Stop being a little fucking bitch and just embrace the amazing pop band they've become, because there are very few others better at what they do!
