Nope. I'd write them off as just another new crossover band that won't be there tomorrow.
Last few albums have made me less of a fan. I still love them but mostly cause of their older stuff. But back in the day I built what is arguably one of the larger BJ collections around. I used to buy everything and anything related to their albums, I even did that with Crush, even though I thought it was a crappy record, and to some extent with Bounce, cause I own most of the singles off Bounce. But right now, I no longer look for bootlegs, I no longer buy Japanese, UK, Australian and whatever editions and I don't buy all the singles in existence. I don't buy new shirts, no Vinyl versions... I just lost interest in them as they have lost interest in their hardcore fans.
