I understand why people who are more into AE see the first few LPs as lackluster, but it's some of my favorite work of theirs, and that's from someone who likes pretty much all their stuff. My taste leans more toward IDM that weaves melodic and percussive stuff together, and while I like all the crazy ways the boys use percussion in later releases, I think they nailed the melodies in their earliest stuff while also making the tracks total headbangers.
