[kj] System of A Down drummer said this about KJ

[Alexander Smith]

I don't think they *suck*, but I don't understand the fervor over  
them. I do quite like a couple of their songs, so long as I tune out  
the lyrics (notably on "Sugar" and "Chop Suey"). I haven't heard the  
main guy compared to Jello, but it's probably because of the  
elasticity of the guy's voice (something Jello was also renowned for).
