Well, I voted B+ right now. Only because I've been a little disappointed in their recent material. Not devastated or anything, but I just feel they could be producing better material.

I gave them B+.

Mainly because I feel that lately they don't work up to their potentials. They can offer a lot more than they do offer.

And considering their career, their talent, their experience and their achievements, they really should be better right now.

C+ latest work doesn't live up to their potentials. Funny how many of you all protect the band's wish to "mature artistically and venture into new areas of music", when the closest they came to this was These Days. I don't think it's anywhere near one of their best albums, but I still rate it higher than the recent stuff.

Look at Zeppelin : Bron Y-Aur Stomp, Kashmir etc to see how a band can genuinely expand musically, or look at Floyd, Yes (though i don't like them), Jethro Tull etc

I've never claimed BJ are one of the above bands, nor that they should be, in which case though the band shouldn't claim to be doing musically what those sorts of musicians genuinely did, and do, do.

If judging their whole career it's B+. The last few years are closer to F.
