Really?
I can't go to more than a coupla threads here where folks are talking about their music or shows w/o seeing a spate of posts about how:
- He's not written any worth a damn since tLWS.
- That a happy life and family have taken all the edge away.
- How Ballard ruined him.
- Then how Batson ruined the band.
- How BW was their last great album, but still not a big "four" (or five) album
- That AFtW is overrated hype and/or a disappointment despite work w/ Lillywhite again.
- That Come Tomorrow is as bad an album as they've ever made.
And more. I know I'm not making this up because: I share none of these thoughts, don't hang anywhere else where folks talk about DMB (unless it's me), and while I don't care for either ED or SU they've not impacted my enjoyment of the material released between or after these albums.
I will acknowledge that these two new tunes have received near (but not complete) unanimous praise here, but people regularly still talk shit about the band's more "recent" output.
