I thought the article was spot on and seemed to demonstrate exactly how I currently feel about the band.

They haven't grown artistically in the 00's and the concerts have been pretty much paint-by-numbers. I'm bored of them yet I keep hanging on hoping they'll turn it around and show what they are really capable of. I don't feel like they do anymore.

As for ticket prices. In 2000 my ticket cost me £25. My ticket was near £100 for the o2 gig. How can ticket prices quadruple in just seven years?
