:Your problem here is a serious over-reliance on your own point of view.  If you want to write your own opinions on this band, then hey, there's plenty of blog space out there.  But when reliable sources such as allmusic use both as a classification, or when online music stores/services from Amazon to Rhapsody categorize the band, album, and single as post-grunge, then all of that kinda trumps your personal opinion, my friend.
