THey do some of the best dance rock on my opinion. Top 5. And the lead singer sounds like Robert Smith with is neato. Of course I had earplugs which I think might have made the difference in sound. Popscene is small and I was way too close to those speakers for my own good. It must have effected your hearing because I usually agree with you ... rawr ;0) i was ok with it being a test of their new album, more so because the lead singer was very open with it, thanked the crowd for their patience with hearing new songs (when the album isn't even out yet) and sprinkled in many hits from their old album. Plus i found out later that it was clearly advertised to be such a show (but I didn't pay attention). They're new album has a few slower songs that veer out of their trademark sound so we'll have to see how I like those after a few listens. on the familiar songs though, you TOTALLY left out that the crowd was out of control! I haven't seen fans that into the music since Hot Chip or the Faint shows at mezzanine. I had to dance with the crowd just to not get knocked over. show some more love!!
