I actually like We Were Dead more than Good News. I can see disliking the poppy style but, since they went that way, I think that Johnny Marr's guitar improves the songs' quality (subtly but noticeably). For the record, my favorite is The Moon & Antarctica. The older stuff is, of course, classic but it sounds a little too much like Pavement meets Pixies to me.
