Agreed. I'm still trying to decide if I like the new release. I like some
of their new electronic-tinged songs, but the band's "organic" sound
(especially live) is what I really love about them. "Dance of the Drunken
Master" has some excellent tracks, but the best are the ones without the
machinery. And I think their slower stuff can be downright boring
sometimes....
