The newest album is absolutely awful. Shame because they could have been something good.

I'm the other way around. I don't like their other stuff but the new one is OK. Nothing outstanding and I have only played it once but I will give it another listen some time.

Their new album isn't actually that bad, not as good as their first two, but better then the last batch of crap they put out.

I was a casual fan until Because of the Times, I've seen them live too. I loved BotT, I found it to be their strongest effort so I was really dissapointed to see that they went in the direction they did. They've even admitted to selling out which I find quite awful, because they were successful enough to not have to become ****e just for a bit more money. 2008 has been a dissapointment for me with some of my favourite bands deciding to ditch what made them unique to get more attention.

My feelings exactly. They kept growing on me until I heard Because of the Times, and I absolutely loved it from start to end, only to be very disappointed by Only By The Night.

I still hope that they haven't made their masterpiece yet though.

I have tried to enjoy this band but it never happened.
I don't see what's so great about them :/

I agree...they're decent but they're nothing amazing.

Nothing anymore

They used to have this alluring swagger, the attitude that they didn't give a **** that everyone in American hated the **** out of then. They had that certain special quality to them, but eh, good things don't last forever, they were never spectacular, just a lot better than the rest of the mainstream ****.

They've got progressively worse with every album. Only by Night is, to me, awful. It's a blatant assault on the mainstream and, whilst i have nothing against bands doing this, kol releasing an album consisting of boring stadium rock anthems devoid of any personality does not appeal to me or my wallet in the slightest.

I shudder to think what the next album will sound like.
