Crush upwards I reckon I could make a double album of 28 songs I'd love. The rest wouldn't bother me if I never heard them again.

While I agree with you, I do think there were still some moments of "brilliance" here and there post-2000. I just bought and listened to Burning Bridges, and being that I am completely biased towards their mid-90s heyday I thought "Who Would You Die For" sounds like it was taken straight from the These Days sessions! Easily among my fave songs since the Crush era began. "Fingertips" is right up there too, but the rest of that album is pretty meh, although far better than "This House..."
The B-Sides and extra tracks on the various versions of the "This House" album are much better than what ended up on the standard album.
The biggest issues to me in the past 15 years or so have been the production, and those cheesy, recycled lyrics.
