But I don't want to hear the same old, and will die happily if I never hear Grendel again. To me those two albums (dotcom, radiation) just seemed like a week attempt to get radio airplay and cash in on the Brit pop popular at the time. There's some good tunes on them, and I could make one good CD of a dozen songs from both those records.
Like I said, otherwise I enjoyed everything they did post Fish...except for Holidays In Eden which was a real bore. I didn't actually like Brave originally, until I saw them do parts of it live on the Sunlight tour. Now I love it. And I think Marbles is one of the greatest albums they've done ever.
