      I think all three of those bands mentioned are overrated for the most part actually.
      "Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear
      "At least there were some thoughts went into Apocalypse." - Urban Ranger
      "Apocalype was a great game." - DrSpike
      "In Apoc, I had one soldier who lasted through the entire game... was pretty cool. I like apoc for that reason, the soldiers are a bit more 'personal'." - General Ludd

              There lotsa songs all you rockers will have never heard of
              Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

                              Depends on who you ask.
                              Some find them beyond bland (cookie-cutter), others find them refreshingly real with awesome songs in general. It depends what you look for in music.

                              Regardless, their debut was the best selling rock album of the 90s (at least -- that's what I heard, worldwide it sold something like 17M copies?), and it was still high on the billboard charts when 2000 rolled around. But it never peaked higher than #3.
