He's had some really great stuff, but also a good amount that was just plain bad, and some of that bad was the worst kind: big, overblown, concept-heavy stuff that comes off as off-Broadway cheese rather than effective music. (This coming from a person who really loves the big and the overblown when it's done right and doesn't collapse under its own weight and pretension...)
Symphony or Damn is the classic example - it's a 50/50 album in terms of its quality, *maybe* 60/40.
Vibrator was probably 40/60. Wild Card had some really great cuts but a good amount of filler, too.
I think dude is really talented but - like many folks who talk themselves up as a one-man-band - he needs an editor...
I never did check out that last album though (Angels..), I should do that soon...
