I hate all their new **** but I really liked Zooropa to be honest. If they quit after that one then I'd be a happy boy.

Wish is a fucking horrible album.

pretty much any band that got popular in the early eighties or earlier should stop producing albums (no one is an exception not even you bob dylan) , but touring is fine with me no matter what age you're from, i truthfully think slipknot should stop not because they're metal but because they're emo-pop metal.

This.

Honey's Dead is probably my favorite Jesus and Mary Chain album. Darklands got me into them, Psychocandy turned it into an obsession, and then Honey's Dead proved to me these guys know how to write all sorts of awesome freaking music.

Wild Mood Swings had some really great stuff on it (as well as some pap) and I thought Bloodflowers was OK too. It's not as though they are prolific and churn out album year after year is it? I think The Cure ARE one of the few bands still capable of churning out a great tune or two after a long career.

Aye, if they had called it quits after Zoo Tv tour, then it would have been alright, considering how bland their more recent stuff has been.

They didn't quit, they just decided to cut the crap.

the next 2 albums following the first reunion were crap. no.4 was a rehash of 'core' which was quite possibly the most generic 'grunge' record of the early 90s, and shangri-la-di-da was just awful.

a 60s style album might be decent, but if their history is any indication it's going to sound like a total rehash of Tiny Music (songs for the Vatican gift shop).
All true, but I'm expecting Happy in Galoshes with better guitar. Then again, I tend to be an optimist.
