I guess they are pretty "talented" for a three chord band. But, I don't see the big difference between their earlier work and their most recent work. They have been fairly consistent, constantly putting out melodic sing-a-long songs that could easily be pre-school anthems. Dont get me wrong, I still like to get my groove thang on when I hear songs like "Why Do Want Him" and "Disappearing Boy". But, please explain how they are the "whole package". In terms of originality, they owe a lot to The Clash and The Ramones.
