But instead they keep making these big poppy piano driven anthems, playing Radio 2 roadshows and big money double header tours and talking about Critical Thinking and Orwellian Times. Sometimes it seems like they are actively trying to alianate the fans, the same way they did with Know Your Enemy all those years ago!

Trying to alienate the fans
, to do that they'd have to give a shit about the fans in the first place and that's something that's been clear that they don't since JFPL - and I don't mean in the type of music they're releasing, I mean in giving responses like Nicky saying 'so what, just buy the regular as well' when asked by a fan about Bag Lady being missing from the JFPL deluxe edition.
