I was all ready to vote crap but seeing your 'guilty pleasure' thing makes me rethink this.

Hmmm.

Just yesterday I was flipping through a Spin magazine in a bookstore and there was a full-page ad of the lead singer hocking (or should that be Tony-Hawking?) Ocean Pacific clothes. Way to rock out dude.

Anyway, they were boring live so that clinches it:

CRAP.

CRAP just because they've remade that same record how many times now?

Crap. They were good live when Eddie Glass was their guitarist, but the recordings have always fell flat. It's just not that convincing; sounds like suburbanites who thought Fast Times at Ridgemont High was the funniest thing ever and adopted a Spicolian bent on their boring songs. Kyuss makes Fu Manchu look like a bowl of Indian saag.

Crap.

Eatin Dust is good ablum. Some stuff is not so great but they do have some excellent songs. I own a few albums.

not crap.

The reason the term "one trick pony" was invented. Barely not crap. Not bad for a gimmick band.

i'm usually not picky about singing ability, but that dude has THE lamest voice ever. you'd think after about 15 albums or whatever he'd learn how to hold a note, yet he STILL doubles his vocals on every goddamn song..

CRAP

sometimes I'll hear Fu Manchu and think: god damn, is this the Rollins Band?

excellent point. fu manchu has the second lamest vocalist ever..

poop except for the line - "you wanted nothing-and I DELIVERED!!"

to give fu manchu some more credit:

noone is lamer than dan andriano of the alkaline trio, matt skiba should punch him in the face for butchering all their ablums. I would probably like alkaline alot more if he didn't come in with his terrible vocals and ruin everything.

how about fu manchu's arch nemesis nebula, if fu manchu is bad, well then nebula brings that genre to the perfect level of suck. I think I've liked one song by this band.
