They have nothing left, especially now that Jim O'Rourke is gone. And I'm sorry but Kim cannot sing, and Thurston masturbating a guitar is not music. And it's not that I don't appreciate noise, I love it, when it is done well. Kim's voice sounded good with the style of music they were doing circa Dirty, but now it is the most grating voice ever because it no longer works with the music and all their songs sound the same. Not to mention the lyrics have just gotten cheesier and cheesier as time goes on.
But please don't get me wrong, I really did used to like them a lot. I have a few set lists from their earlier shows and many of their records on vinyl. But every record they put out these days I just lose more and more respect for them, so please if you are listening, do us all a favor and just stop making half assed records because I want to remember you as you were, not as you are now. And no more of those wanky solo projects either (except Lee).

Sorry, but that's just your opinion. And, how old are you anyway? What kind of music do you like? Why do you say Kim cannot sing when many are saying that she has finally found her best singing voice in years? Are you somewhat disappointed that they will not re-release Confusion Is Sex? Or a thousand million variations of it at least? Are there not a billion bands out there who are already rehashing CiS + KYI in a million tired ways? Are you bitter that the one band who originated all the infinite, uncountable copycat noise rock bands in existence will not continue doing the same kind of music over and over again? Or do you just not like the band?
