Anyone know what albums are worth checking out by these guys?

I used to like them well enough, although I always thought that keeping you guessing as to whether they were serious or a joke was 80% of their schtick.Then Volk came out. It was such a retarded take on a potentially OK concept that I think I will never be able to forgive them.

This is one of those bands I've always intended to listen to but never have. One of these days I'll give them a listen.

lifetime NC pass for Life is Life great cover band, either you 'get it' or you don't

Conceptually, I like them. I enjoy, and agree with, Zizek's interpretation of their work as a sort of postmodern attack on political fascism. I find the music shitty, of course. Totalitarian aesthetic signifiers don't hold my interest.
