Nah. La Sexorcisto has a less developed sound. Astrocreep is where they finally got it right. The riffs finally graduated from Pantera-ish groove metal to the kind of industrial metal that Rammstein can't do without jumping the shark.

And Beg to Differ is cool, but again, The Cleansing is where they got what they were going for down like they wanted. That heavy, industrial riffing is much better than the quasi-crossover thrash of Beg to Differ. And even if it didn't always work, they managed to work in some great diversity as well.
