I really think popaganda has the better songwriting, though most won't agree.

Tokyo Decadence was good! With song titles like 'Mu-Shu Pork Empire," "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Straight Edge" and my favorite "Tara Reid is a Whore."

I agree wholeheartedly about their first album being much better than their sophomore effort. I couldn't listen to Popaganda.

This band was interesting when it was just Daryl and Dan the Automator. Oh, that's when it was a side project ONLY. Then it blew up into this ridiculousness.

When I think about it, comparing Popaganda to Decadence is kinda like comparing Head Automatica to Glassjaw...

Daryl Palumbo's voice is very appealing to me. I have no idea what it sounds like outside of the produced music, but it seems like he has a great range, or at least that he has a powerful voice.

Popaganda sucked, and i guess i'm not the only one who thinks that. Decadence is awesome.
