i appreciate the progression they took but i think it just became too experimental as to almost be rendered alienating. Dont get me wrong, i love experimental music, but Drums Not Dead in particular was bewildering, its overemphasis on percussion didnt work in my opinion. They Were Wrong... is better, its quite abrasive and angular which appeals to me, but i cant maintain focus on it as an entirety. I think the self-titled is excellent, its experimental whilst retaining a sense of accesability, it has a pop sensibility immersed within it somewhere. I have to agree though, on the whole an excellent band.
