Oh, come one, they are far more experimental than any other popular rock band right now. Turn on the radio. Do you hear anything as edgy and experimental as SY? NO, you don't. So SY aren't as experimental as they were in the early 80's. That doesn't mean that they stil don't experiment with feedback and other techniques. I think you have to stop comparing their more structured alternative rock material to their early NO Wave stuff. It's very different. Experimental music doesn't necessarily mean extreme dissonance. It's just deviating from the norm of the pop rock scene.
