The whole Spiritualized things bums me out so hard. There was a time when their new record was like some kind of shining beacon on the horizon and you knew it would illuminate your world for many months of heavy rotation. Plus they were easily one of the best live bands on earth for the first half of their existence. Now they're either overproduced or boring or both.
I was with them from the start (and before), but I stopped caring a long time ago. Flipping that switch to "off" really made me sad, but not as sad as listening to new albums had for years.
