Of course they're overplayed...the problem is with our stupid media, not with the band. It's the same with the news, the radio, the tabloids. Repeat every stupid detail and worthless song a thousand times until people start to believe it's important or significant and repeat every good song and major news event until we become desensitized and annoyed.
My point is, it's pointless to try and evaluate music based on how often it is played on the radio or MTV or what have you. Personally I love the band, if only because they're bringing some long absent sounds and mixing them with some great, modern lyrics. Anyone who can take a banjo and make it popular has got to be good.
