I saw them open for Bloc Party about a week ago. One of the best live shows I've seen. I don't know what their singer was strung out on, but he fucking killed it.
I embrace their new sound and dig it quite a bit the old stuff was cool but really the style gets played out after awhile. Had they continued with the style on rohnert that woulda been cool but their entire catalogue so far has been great.
my unpopular opinion is that they were progressing perfectly fine until Zoo. Zoo kind of fucked that up. they were already getting more punk with each release, but Zoo was too much of a change. i like them being angry. Zoo doesn't suck by any means, it just felt so forced yet somehow apathetic to me. this song does as well.
