Good review, I feel the same way. It is tough to be a band these days though. If you stick to the same formula you get critised for becoming stale and repetitive, yet if you experiment you risk alienating your hardcore fan base.
Yeah, it's a tough business. Since you've seen them live you know their hardcore supporters, I can't see them eating this stuff up live. They attracted punk rockers looking to let loose at small clubs, making a transition or new direction especially difficult.
