It's still great parody but they should have gone at it alone.

Escape from Noise is a great record.
Yeah, they've certainly done their time exploiting copyright and pulling the middle finger to the commercial industry (sometimes the industry does it to themselves too in the most ironic ways).

I admire them to bits and their records are fun as hell!

Their U2 debacle is so ironic, I love it
