he meant there's a decline with respect to the 80's-90's, if you read what he said for comprehension. decline doesn't mean "utter shit", it means lesser gooderer or some such thing-- yes?. rather ripped made me very sad though. the eternal is ok but just ok. i did love the jam-band style o-rourke era, and i think some tracks in murray street are fucking epic, a sort of culmination of a trajectory that began with the diamond sea (though again some might say "decline", e.g., diamond sea > rain on tin, for example). regardless. i think you're misreading what he wrote. he's just saying that the past was more better. if i recall well t&b is a huge fan of the out-of-print sonic death, for example.
