I loved First Impressions of Earth!
You're all mad. xD
They didn't not live up being THE band, it's that the fanboyism over their first album turned into a gigantic expectation that they'd produce more-or-less the same exact album as their first-- in turn, when they showed up with a different tune, one bloke said 'this is different' and it translated throughout the fairweather fans as 'this sucks'. Take a listen without the judgement, and realise that they are, still in fact, THE band!
