Sure, but you are looking at the large picture. I'm talking album by album, song by song, they may put in the same efforts to put back out again.
I'm not even a fan of them, and I am not defending them against ones like you who give them credit for working hard. I'm defending them against those who automatically pass them off as a sellout band who go in with no intention other than to pump out hits for mall kids to lap up. In that context, my comparison stands. In a more balanced view of things, when you look closer, Sonic Youth comes out ahead, and I'm sure even Fall Out Boy would not deny that.
