"Maturity" has not helped them either, but I remember when they first emerged and how shocked I was that they were able to build such a rabid fan base with music containing so many elements that are total dealbreakers for me in issues of taste and quality.

right on.

That was so good, it's going in my sig.

I love the first 3 records, good news, eh, the new one, i have not listened to it much and probably wont, but eh.

I saw them live, and I dont even really remember it. It was pretty unremarkable. I heard they were good way back in their early days though.

Atsonicperk,

I meant "Float On" but then you probably figured it out. Truth be told, I got it mixed up with Bad Brains "Sailin On" which is a much popular song in my personal library.

I saw them at ATP 03 and thought they were great. I took my chances and saw them a year later in a smaller place and was dissapointed. They are 1-1 with me.

The whole "their earlier stuff was way better" rant is really fucking old. They suck. Have you heard their new single? It sucks.

People complain and moan about how their new material isn't as good as their previous. Well then, if you're going to complain about something that you know isn't going to be good, why go in the first place?

I mean, come on people.

I saw them at Siren Festival a few years ago. This was either right before or right after "Good News". It was excellent. They played an awesome version of Cowboy Dan.

I saw them once before that. I also wasn't at all disappointed.
