I liked them when I first heard them, but then you hear a little more of them, and a little more, and after a while you wonder why you ever liked them in the first place. My dad loves them though, I even bought him Silver Side Up for Christmas one year. It was funny because he got confused as to how to put the cd in the cd player. He thought that "Silver Side Up" meant you had to put the cd in with the silver (bottom side) up. Yeah... my dad's not great with electronics.
