I saw a show SOIA headlined in Portland in '92, We went to that show primarily to see the opener, Fear Factory (being the metalheads that we were) and the SOIA fans behaved boorishly IMO, and once SOIA *did* hit the stage after the middle act Biohazard (who were really good that night but the albums were kinda ho-hum for me) I wasn't particularly impressed. Your assessment rings true for me as well.
