What happened? They used to be deadly.

Seems they've taken they're own lyrical advice a bit too literally and forgotten those sythesizers to become a star.

New tunes are mostly bland guitar based almost Snow Patrol-y pop with keys just as backing, mostly.
They've even redone 2 of their, formerly excellent, old tracks as guitars-by-numbers tunes by kicking the keys to the background.

Bad move lads, yous really excel at the dancier numbers. It was made all the more evident last night by the crowds indifference to the guitar-pop stuff and then exploding into crazy dancing maniacs at the good stuff. Shame.

Best sound I've heard at a gig in the Village in a long time though.

Also, 15 quid in, and then 15 quid for the album?
Ouch.
