To me, "Over The Top" + Theatrical +
Silly == Cheeze.
On a other note, that quote from The Sun is addapted from their official bio on their
website:

Co-founders Lee and guitarist/songwriter Ben Moody met while in their early teens. "We were at a youth camp," Moody recalls. "During some sort of recreational period held in a gymnasium, I heard Amy playing Meat Loaf's 'I'd Do Anything for Love' at the piano. So I went over to meet her, and she started singing for me. I was pretty much blown away, so I suckered her into joining a band with me."

The cheese is added, so to speek.
To me, they sound nothing like Linkin Park, Limp Biskshit (or however you spell that) or any typical 'nu-metal' group, at all. Most of these bands are "Angry For No Apperent Reason" (TM), a guy who's messing up his good lp's and have no female lead singer (and no, that guy on the single is not in the band), where Evanescence has some great lyrics, a female lead, keys and no DJ... gonna see them live in a couple of weeks, and I'm really curious if they can keep up with the excelent performance on their CD. (which is a strong contender for MY "Best album of the Year")
But Shane, too much emphasis on the guitars? It's a rock band, they should have a lot of guitars. And the pianoplayer on Bat 3? I hope not. He's good, but not that good.
