I never fell out of love with the band, but the run of 9 or so years that only produced Ole, Lightning Bolt and Can't Deny Me pretty much had me ready to tap out as far as new material goes. Gigaton was an absolutely massive upswing on that material.Ello Sailor wrote:I think a lot of us have experienced falling out of love with the band at some point. I just think it's insane to endure the shittery of Avocado thru Lightning Bolt only to throw your toys out of the cot now. They're on an upswing if anything!
I saw them a couple times on the 2006 European Tour and they were bringing it every single night. That tour was something to behold, I can't see any kind of shittery around that time, tbh.Ello Sailor wrote:I think a lot of us have experienced falling out of love with the band at some point.

Avocado is a great album. Looks like you gotta review the rule book.Ello Sailor wrote:That three-album run was stink city. I don't make the rules.
