Wow, you're absolutely right. I hadn't gotten around to listening to their stuff yet but I am so glad I did. It is nice to hear something that is actually original instead of the usual formula. Most music is just "sick beats A + Lyrics B + Superstar C, D, E autotuned + obsessive radio time = music, yay!". This is made exponentially successful if someone has some drama, or mental breakdown, or is shagging someone, or is on some reality show.HOLY CRAP, but that MVP though.... just started listening to some of his music on youtube.... it gives me the chills when you discover something AMAZING in a lonnnng time. Definitely a thumbs up to this guy for his phenomenal work and creativity.

I try not to be cynical. I really don't want to turn into that angry old man "get off my lawn!'. However, have you heard autotuned dubstep?! It sounds more like my old Nintendo crashing than music.
Then there is stuff like this. It is so refreshing to hear actual talent. It just reminds me that I need to stop listening to the radio...
