The post 2000 BJ is deeper in that way that you can always hear something new in this songs just by putting on better earphones or playing with channel mixing/extracting. There are lot more things to get into, especially if you are a musician. There are many things to learn if you are guitarist. Much more than 80' ultra-distorted, power-chord guitar and some stupid keyboard parts. Same thing about Jon to me. Singing lower a few tones doesn't mean that he lost his ability to put emotions into this tracks.

So I'm with that guy I thing (call me crazy if you want)
