i'm with you there. when bad mp3s of the new record started appearing on the net, i was quite horrified about the reviews on this board. i remember people blaming s.y. for producing a commercial record because the members had families to feed...that's so gross. lee did an interview with a leftist berlin-based weekly called 'jungle world' just before their amazing berlin gig on sept. 16th where he talks about the new record using quite traditional song-structures and how implementing them was a radical step for them. but nothing that they planned. and notes the irony that their last record on a major album was their most 'pop' record. it's a really cool interview. i'll try to translate it and post it here or on my website.
the record grows if you hear those songs live, but i loved the record before the show. it's such a great record. i listen to it all the time. (when i'm not listening to 'the destroyed room')
