It's impossible for me to give an unbiased assessment of the Postal Service, because I'm fuckin' in love with Give Up. Jesus God, that's a good cd.
I grew up listening to 311, Metallica, etc, etc...but after I started to give up my baggy J'ncos and "witty" t-shirts (you know the type) in favor of vintage jeans, dress shirts, and messanger bags, I found that I was starting to appreciate more cerebral, calming music (although I still love the old stuff). The Postal Service has proven to be the perfect fit for my new tastes.
As for the strange samples and "10-year-old-on-a-keyboard" thing: I dig it. I think that the instances designed to sound like your speakers are shorting out, or that there's a hum or something in the equipment is brilliant. It may seem gimmicky but it works with their style.
