[@Metsfan1986]

They get paid the big bucks because they're strong live performers with ability to modify beats on the fly. The singing by Andrew live definitely leaves something to he desired. But it's passable and fits the music. Alex is very good from the instrumental side of it. They have a decent drummer too. Add that to the fact that their music hits very strong recorded. They also worked with good vocal artists. They might be a bit overrated in the talent department, but their music sounds very pleasant to listen to for me. It's catchy and high energy.
