Why they might be annoying:

    They don't care if you pronounce their name 'Night-zer' or 'Nit-zer.'
    They are not Top 40 friendly (most likely by design).
    They've been through a plethora of drummers and producers.
    They went 11 years between albums (1995-2006).

Why they might not be annoying:

    They combined post-punk, synth-pop-dance and industrial genres of music to become pioneers of EBM (electronic body music).
    They were influenced by Bauhaus.
    They have opened for Depeche Mode and collaberated with them musically.
    'Join In The Chant' and 'Fun To Be Had' have cracked the Top 10 on Billboard's U.S. Dance chart.
    Their 2006 'comeback' album Body of Work was produced by Flood.
    Harris moved to the States and has helped produce acts such as Marilyn Manson, AFI, The Smashing Pumpkins, Evanescence and Avril Lavigne.
