A prime example of a great band getting progressively worse.
"Showbiz" and "Origin Of Symmetry" were spectacular!
"Absolution" was pretty decent in places
"Black Holes & Revelations" was atrocious. Where's the rock gone? Too ****ing soft! Sunk to the level that appeals to those folk who base their buying habits on what Radio 1 plays/says.
The live show too has declined. It used to be energetic and raw, now it's more sterile and safe. More about flashy light sequences than the music.
I've not heard the new album (i will give it a few listens), but the lead single was an absoloute TURD.
