It could do without the nu-metal-esque rap rubbish.  Aside from that, it's a cool song, with a cool singer, and a cool video.

I considered buying their album (which is unusual for me as I don't normally buy very many Top 40 items.

ASCII, yes - art, however, is subjective.  I'd consider it ASCII art.

There are some things in the world of art that I wouldn't consider artistic.

For example, Damien Hurst (sp?) won the Turner Prize for his piece, which was a cow that he had cut in half down the middle, and had
put into two tanks of formaldehyde.

The two tanks were side by side, with a gap of 2 or 3 feet between the two, so that the viewer could walk between the two for a
better look.

It's not that I'm squeamish, or offended by the use of an animal in this piece, but I just don't consider it art.

However, many of the visitors to Londons' Tate Modern gallery where the exhibit was housed, felt that it was.

I condsider Anubis' cauldron piece to be art.  It seems that Bateau does not, which is fine.
