Early live shows were fantastic, but the albums have never lived up to that initial promise (though first few singles are worth hearing). Classic example of a band whose continued presence on the music scene (and in critics' affections) seems to be based almost entirely on how good they could be, as opposed to how good they actually are...
An easy trap to fall into. I tried so hard to like them that it was only after a couple of months of listening to the second album that the penny dropped. Ahh, it's shite.
They are very good at all the other bits apart from making music.
