Maybe they don't want to have hit singles anymore and are exploring their sound a little more? It's not all about hit singles and quite frankly if that's what they were only about then people would become tired of them a la Oasis. It's no secet that turner has had his moments with fame and his dislike of certain aspects.

It's certainly not a brilliant album at all but I shall stay in your camp of 'wrong' and say that it is definitely better than FNW. That album hasn't even had a listen for over a year.

They got big because not only because of their catchy tunes but also their lyrics, attitude and energy.
