I've been following these guys since the 90's and saw them play in NYC a couple weeks ago. They opened with a 20+ minute experimental piece playing to a video, I thought it was very ballsy to do that at CMJ, they could have just played the hits, it was very aggressive and intense. Sounds like they've been listening to a lot of electronic and experimental stuff. The new album is very diffrerent than their previous stuff, it is much more free than structured pop. I didn't like it on first listen but now I find it a very rich and compelling aural treat, and plays nicely with the tour only CDr they were selling.
