I'm the same with DT. To me, it just seems there's too much "showoffery", to invent a word, where everyone goes "Look at me! Look how long/complicated a keyboard solo I can do" or "Look how good I am on guitar!" without, it seems, taking enough care of and interest in the songs. More a showcase for how talented each is/think they are than a band trying to make proper music.

That's just me. And Jack. And probably thousands others....
