Style of music is not important, its whether it rings true, and its sounds authentic. For my money Marie and Let Me Come Home represent two of the best songs they have done. I do appreciate your perspective, and i will admit they are a band in transition and trying to find their feet again, but is it the Rapping that bothers you? Simone was rapping before, and was that OK? Keep up the writing, you know i am a fan, and i do read your blog, i hope you come back to see things differently. Thanks for your insights, and the videos. Your early videos are important documents to the bands history and we all should be forever grateful to you, Love to hear a review of the Duke and the King! thanks digger While i would never go so far as the last comment, i think that some of their newer songs are among the very best they have ever done.

like a band or don’t. this hatchet job is a cry out for people to identify with you.

if you think that the band was “trying” to have fun at rosie the other night and still couldn’t, then i think we were at different shows. you saw the show thru your own sad eyes. iantown is a record that is only ian felice with a guitar. how would you suggest 5 people play those songs? for ian to sing frankie’s gun 175 times a year and make it sound as fresh each time as he does is amazing. i’d like to see you reach half as many people in your lifetime. what songs have you written 5 years ago that i can say are better than the ones you played last night??

you don’t like the new records, cool. don’t listen to them.
