    Seriously. I saw them play a few years back and thought they were amazing. Some time later my friend put on an album in the car and my thought was, “what is this absolute garbage?” Same band somehow.

      Yea, they are good at many sub genres of music, but not everyone is into all of them, or just not in the mood for death metal, jam band, EDM, Folk, and microtonal kazoo music all at one time lol.

      (Saw them at Red Rocks last year for all 3 shows, everything was great live)

          I think they used a combo of self and indi publishing options early and then made their own label. They even released an album for free. So I assume they have low overhead, and just crank out albums.

          They also probably make a ton of money touring.

            Easy to go broke on tour, especially if you’ve a large band. Definitely helps they’ve their own label. They also seemed to have higher than norm ticket prices when they were in town here.
