"Nonstop" is an exaggeration but even if you were right, then yeah, fine, but the question is *which songs*? Only a tiny handful of anything on their albums has been anything close to mainstream-radio-worthy. Most of it doesn't even work as pop. It's too bombastic, too over the top, too ridiculous in each and every way conceivable - the ears of your average listening folk cannot stomach it. Hell, I cannot stomach it. The band only broke the top 5 like, once, and it comes as no surprise that it was with the most poppy, radio-friendly, UN-MUSEY song they've ever written: Supermassive Black Hole.
