I'm too anal to be find boring ass ICP entertaining.

In response to the OP, I think it's hard to say. I find a lot of innovation going on today but not to the extent of creating a scene around it, which I think was more common in the earlier period. It might have something to do with the medium, with people being more likely to listen to physical albums than bandcamp or soundcloud streams. I think that factor is taking away from the local music community and in the face of all the extra music out there, it's harder to make an impact on the music world in the same way that you used to, but it's also easier in some ways a la Death Grips and such. So maybe pioneering was more prevalent back then.

Tl;Dr I have no ****ing idea which one is better or more innovative. I like them both a lot in different ways.
