I'd say if you combine Linkin Park and Pet Shop Boys it might sound like this.
Edit: I just listened to the samples for Health and it definitely seems more interesting. The blending of genres seems more authentic and calculated, in a Mr. Bungle kind of way, as opposed to canned like on Death Magic.

That's exactly why I stopped listening to them after their self-titled. Too glossy and overproduced. They work well with their lo-fi noise approach. Like you said, more authentic.
