Nah, I don't think so. Personally I love their stuff, but I wouldn't call it essential or anything, and I know tons of people who don't really like them. Gore was decent, but I agree it's just a retread of everything else they've done so far and that was a little bit of a let down. If you can't get into White Pony, I don't see you ever really liking the band, but if you have the time you should give Koi No Yokan a listen just because.
