Get Ready was a like a car made of pure awesomeness refined till it's all crispy and covered in crystallised cool. Admittedly their last album was more along the lines of a burnt out wreck of a VolksWagon that had become a lavatory for homeless drunk people.

Agreed, New Order have gone down hill, they've had some good tunes since the first 3 albums though! Regret etc. It's just embarrassing seeing them still try to rock out like they're still young though, I actually spoke to Peter Hook a bit when he did a DJ set and I kinda wish I'd told him to jack it in, but A) I was too out of it to think of it, B) I'm too nice a guy anyway.

At The Drive In (Now Mars Volta)
--- End quote ---
It's a bit of a wrong to say that Mars Volta are ATDI, Cedric and Omar left the band because they didn't want to play like ATDI anymore... Sparta (Jim Ward's new band) are a lot closer to the ATDI sound, but they kinda suck a bit too :( It's a shame they split up and it's a shame I never got to see them live before they did it :(
La Creme:
Um... Sparta aren't new my friend. They have been around and sucked for quite some time now...
Hector Gilbert:
Joy Division/New Order: ...Yeah. Actually I was never big into New Order in general, I didn't mind Movement and then they released one or two killer singles and that's all she wrote.
Tortoise: torch-carriers of the progression of post-rock in the 90s - torch-carriers of the grand field of muzak in the 21st century.
Death In June: they've made some mediocre material in their time along with the great dark stuff, but check out the "revenge" album All Pigs Must Die and put on the first of the remixed tracks. Hear that? That's the sound of a creative fart.
Nine Inch Nails: when they start sounding like other bands Dave Grohl has been a part of, something is desperately wrong.
Dave Matthews Band: I'd still be curious to see their famed live show, but I find it harder and harder to defend them considering that the majority of the (numerous) haters I've encountered consistently cite their latest work. And I've got to admit, it all sucks after Lillywhite. The new album was a disaster.
Kraftwerk: again I'd still go to a live show, but Tour De France Soundtracks single-handedly ensured that I would never buy anything from them again. I'm also one of the very few people who preferred them when they still had their instruments.
KharBevNor:
Death in June was never really the same after Wakeford and Leagas left. All that collaboration stuff placed too much emphasis on the collaborating bands not being crap, which wasn't always true.
