I own Damnation. It has alot of good stuff on it, but it sounds just like a Porcupine Tree album, prolly cuz Steve Wilson is producing, writing and singing on it. They definately have some chops, and the lead singer actually can sing, so why do the cookie monster thing? Hopefully they expand on the Damnation album and stay away from the dopey growling. I'll reserve judgement until then.
