I think the reason they`re so hated is because it`s blatently obvious they`re just a boyband aimed at teenage metal fans.

I remember reading somewhere in a trade magazine a couple of years ago that the record company invested so much money in them on promotion & advertising that they needed to sell 12 million copies of their debut album just to break even. It only sold around 8 or 9 million and so they put out a cheaply made remix album just to try and recoup some of that money.

I`d say they`re the epitomy of a corporate pop band.
