I prefer the self-awareness of KMFDM over ATR's anarchy for the masses, if we're talking about lyrics.
The music, on the other hand, I have a hard time to compare, especially since both have released really lackluster albums lately, in my opinion.
And although I agree and find SP and coil vastly superior to all the other bands mentioned here, once again comparing something like Front 242 to coil seems really absurd... Like comparing Autechre to The Knife...
