Yeah I have an opinion of them as I went to their school and had to deal with their Baptist Bride nonsense. There are several in my area as I live near where they originated.

The link sends you to the ABA(American Baptist Association) not the Landmarkers. They are a different breed of Baptists.

The ABA is a Landmark Baptist denomination.

It may be though in my experience the Landmarkers call themselves Landmarkers and did hold to the doctrines of grace. They differ, it seems, from the ABA in that they emphasize the Baptist Bride, the Landmark Church, and accept baptism from no other group. They do tend to be premil and many have abandoned the doctrines of grace. Which is part of why I left their school. The Landmark Baptists have a systematic theology that they require you to assent to by T. P. Simmons called "A Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine". You may be able to find it online. The Landmarkers associated with J. R. Graves are in and from Kentucky. A former Landmarker, John Thornbury,( who went to the same school that I did) wrote a book refuting the Landmark view of the church called, "The Doctrine of the Church".

BTW, the Landmark movement is once again making inroads into the SBC.

In the face of Liberal theological onslaught some Baptists are reaching for any historically conservative limb to grab on to...but this limb is rotten.
