4/5 here. I have a lot of respect for these guys...they really do what they can to explore some interesting spaces. I'm sure it's very tempting for a lot of electronic artists to plug in a beat and basically let the song write itself. All 3 of their albums so far are distinct from each other, which is a real challenge with this kind of music. I'm on my 4th or 5th listen now and it definitely keeps getting better. II just barely still squeaks by as being better...mainly because the highs on that album are REALLY high. I'd say III is a bit more consistent, though.
