It's funny for me because while my favourite albums remain those released prior to DDN, I actually think they're a more interesting band now. I may not like much of what they've done since those early releases, but it still intrigues me. Even something like Rather Ripped (which is an album I really dislike) is arguably more interesting - as a 'chapter' in the SY 'saga' than my favourite LP of their's, Sister. I get the feeling that since the release of Murray Street they've become their own band. Whether that band is necessarily a good one is largely beside the point.
