I do like some of their stuff but it's hard for me to look past that they're a very transparently utter ripoff of The Smashing Pumpkins.

They are indeed but I kinda prefer them over SP.

I watched the replay of the stream where they announced the new band members and yeah, it's not the same. They would have been better off staying retired or at least trying for a new sound instead of forcing the new singer to attempt copying Chester.

The fear of moving into a different vibe because of the lead singer is very real. Look at Journey when Steve Perry walked away- they found someone who sounds nearly identical. Same with Foreigner when Lou Gramm left.

On the other hand, Van Halen was far more successful with Sammy Hagar than David Lee Roth; and there are plenty of other bands who simply won't survive without their respective front-person, LP being one of those.
