yup, I think most of the criticisms of this period for the band are people judging albums from the point of view of their own anxiety about corporate rock or alternativeness or whatever the fuck people were fussing about at the time and the quality and straight up awesomeness of the songs from this period gets pretty short shrift. all the opinion in the world goes out the window whenever they play any thing from this period live though, absolutely every fucker will absolutely lose all of their shit. eg 100% at ATP, I had no idea how rough they played it until long after because i was too busy going YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
(I will be doing the same for the entirety of tonights show)
YYYYEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
