Why they might be annoying
Their earlier album covers have virtually identical artwork, just merely recolored for each album.
Unlike most Industrial bands, their songs lack guitars.
Their style is pop-oriented industrial.
Renowned percussionist Richard 23 left the band after 11 years; immediately after Lollapalooza in 1993.
It is hard to remember the album title '05:22:09:12 Off,' so it is sometimes referred to as 'Evil Off.'
It is hard to remember the album title '06:21:03:11 Up Evil,' so it is sometimes referred to as 'Fuck Up Evil.'
Their outfits are a cross between nerdy and Goth.
Why they might not be annoying
They didn't sell out, continuously playing EBM (Electronic Body Music) for over 20 years without being dated.
Their 1988 hit 'Headhunter' was an international dance hit.
Their 1991 hit 'Tragedy (For You)' got a good amount of exposure on MTV.
They are considered one of the most creative underground bands.
Their lyrics question humanity and the structure of society.
