Why they might be annoying:

    They're currently on their fourth bass player in 7 years.
    Their lyrics are indirect, which causes confusion with fans on what some of their songs mean.
    They wear effeminate clothing while performing.
    Cedric and Omar are Latinos with afros.
    They switch in between English and Spanish in songs.
    Their original sound manipulator, Jeremy Ward, died of a drug overdose in the middle of a tour.
    Cedric and Omar are vegans.

Why they might not be annoying:

    'De-Loused in the Comatorium' and 'Frances the Mute' were both dedicated to deceased people that the band knew (including Jeremy Ward).
    'Frances the Mute' debuted #4 on the billboard charts without much exposure.
    They're much more popular in the UK than in the US.
    They've toured with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and System of a Down.
    They're interactive with the fans of the group through fan sites.
