The riffs, vocals, and production are what make it better than any of their following releases, and at the time (2000-2002) it was a pretty new sound (far from generic). I wouldn't confuse punishing, straightforwardness with being generic. They helped pioneer the genre, and spawned countless (and more mainstream sounding) imitators. Now it seems they're trying to copy their own imitators! They just make clean, over-processed, radio-friendly songs. 5FDP is probably the most generic and popular band out right now, and I'd say new KSE is right there with it.
