  1. True. But first of all, I like their old stuff TOO much to resist. And secondly, I think there are songs that could sound tolerable. Like... No Micro Cuts obviously... They perform New Born quite well... I can no longer hear Plug in Baby and Bliss. What about Citizen Erased? Hyper Music? Screenager... Ok. Not sure about Hyper Music... Futurism was quite ok at Zepp... It is difficult with Showbiz though... I cannot imagine it with his voice as it is today. Unintended, may be... May be Uno, may be MM, but those would probably sound strange nowadays. They are sort of adolescent... And I'd want some b-sides, definitely. The Groove? Eternally Missed? I think this one may sound.
  2. I'd really wanted them to play more of their old (fucking brilliant!!!) stuff since it's their 20 years' anniversary. And I would really love something except Sunburn from Showbiz and Bliss/Plug in Baby from OOS. They do respect Absolution... though i am pretty sure that most of the songs will be TR and T2L. I hope I am wrong.
  3. Yes Please? Micro Cuts is quite weird. One of favourite. There's nothing trivial about Space Dementia either... Lots of their songs are weird. That used to be a cool thing. But best times are gone, unfortunately.
  4. I rediscovered "the whole awesomeness" of this fucking album for fucking hundred time. i was literally dying listening to it this summer. Then went back to OOS. And now again. Showbiz is just great. I am listening to it over and over these days.
  5. No. Moving towards the most conventional style of performance is a result. Improved vocals are all very well. But when it simplifies your own style, makes your voice sound less expressive, do you think this is a choice an artist should make? This is was my very original point. Ok, I agree that technically his voice improved, even though I don't appreciate this. The other point was if the only way in which they improved it's Matt's new technical approach to his voice (what is not the only thing that makes a performance work), does it mean they are getting worse?
  6. I love these too. But, when I mention "old performances" I don't neseccarily mean this kind of ancient stuff ( although I love I can understand why people say they are technically weaker than more recent ones). When I compare I actually mean most of the performances up to 2010. However, this new kind of voice has been gradually emerging since 2008, I guess.
