I don't think they rip off FNM as much as people think.

Ben and Chris picked a new singer... RIGHT AFTER doing their EP with Patton and picked a guy that happens to have some vocal traits similar to Patton, as a result, they've ended up with some Patton sounding material... aside from Black Bublegum though, I don't see anything too blatent/hero worshiping.

They are ALL wearing their influences on their sleeves a little bit more but I'd be hardpressed to call them nothing but a Patton rip-off machine. A lot of the elements in their music could come from NUMEROUS sources/influences/artists, it's just Patton has pretty-fuckin'-much had his creative intent stuck in every genre-mashing pie out there and vocally Greg makes it hard to look past that sometimes.

However, I am a massive DEP supporter, and always will be.
