I'm with you- I don't listen to their albums just for fun, or in the car. I put on their music when I want to lie alone in a dark room, or get stoned and watch a lava lamp.
Seeing them live, though, was just amazing. It was transcendent. The songs just built into these massive crescendos that were stunning. I've never seen anything like it.
Dooce wrote a great review of a show she saw in SLC the week after mine- she says it better than I can.
