They are ridiculously good live but I've never fully warmed to the studio stuff. Picked up a used copy of Alive & Wired the other day and it's such a great show, warts and all.

First few albums are great, especially Too Far Too Care but they lost me after Fight Songs. That live comp is the last word indeed.

four years pass...

Saw them live Friday, after not really paying attention to them for years. Seemed like every other song was a variation on "let's get drunk and screw." Running out of ideas?

Holy shit, a friend dragged me to them a few months back, and I hadn't seem them for years, and it was soooo boring for that very reason, especially since the band is now old and drinking bottled water on stage and if every one of your songs is about drinking you better be drinking and if they are and you're not then get off the stage!

I hadn't even said a word, because I was invited along, but they wanted to leave early and started complaining as soon as we left the venue.

I went with a group, most of whom were all unabashed fans. I kept my mouth shut, too. I won't be going back.
