Most people upon first listening to The Wipers will either like them immediately or have trouble getting over the vocals.
I've heard the "boring" thing a couple of times, and I suppose that's due to the rhythm section always staying strictly in the pocket with no fancy frills. But these are kids riddled by ADHD, Mr. Bungle, video game music, and so-called "math-rock" which really doesn't progress past algebra I rock (they choke on the calculus-level stuff like Trout Mask or U.S. Maple's Talker). It takes a lot to deprogram bad taste like that.
