Why they might be annoying:

    They wear gruesome face masks and wear industrial jumpsuits, each member is designated a number (from 0 to 8).
    Some of their vocals are just throaty growls and screams.
    On some tracks the Korn influence is obvious
    They play with such intensity that percussionist Shawn Crahan once gashed his forehead twice on his own drumkit, requiring stitches.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They rose to fame from the middle of nowhere-Iowa.
    They toured heavily following their self-titled release and gained a spot on the Ozzfest circuit.
    Although they are compared to Slipknot and formed before them, J. Mann of Mushroomhead said in an interview that Slipknot really opened the way for them.
    Paul Gray was found dead in an Iowa hotel room (May 24, 2010).
