They're not really cut out stylistically for any huge commercial success, what with being so deliberately weird and eclectic, but they do have a pretty huge cult following. Lots of music mags like to refer to them as 'Kurt Cobains Favourite Band', they were mentioned a bit in that movie Juno, etc.
They played a big metal festival over here earlier this year and they closed the stage they were on, which put them higher up the bill than both Slayer and Trivium, who both have sold upwards of a million units.
