Yeah... I have to agree on the reznor thing. I would say a better comparison for King is Rush (
). It has its fans but the reality is that it's 99% formulaic, always waaaaay too long, and with only a rare entry that's worth hearing twice. And despite all those aspects, both King and Rush have their True Fans and always will...
