Personally, I love their first album. Much like Definitely Maybe it's full of noise and doesnt have a bad song on it. But again, much like Definitely maybe, the subsequent albums were pap as the respective bands tried to evolve into something that would perhaps be considered more artistic?
I found this with the Editors who i love, their first 2 albums, The Back Room and An End Has A Start were amazing. Then Tom Smith decides he wants to go all synthesizers, keyboards and computers in In This Light and on This Evening and the album they produces is gash!
Off to the "things that piss me off..." thread. :x
