I put Hypermagic Mountain in my Top Ten albums of '05 last year. I wouldn't say they are sucky, but they aren't "all that" either --to the extent that they are discussed here at this forum anyways. As far as newer bands go, they are one of the best. Ultimately, I wouldn't go to far out of my way to defend them from the charge of "Thou Suck!" though.
Certainly, Black Dice aren't sucky; they have lots of sounds & ample substance if you know their catalogue.
