Went to see them in concert last night in Bristol, and was sad to find it quite disappointing.

The increase in band members has, to my ears, diluted their former powerful passionate intense sound, which is what I loved about them in the first place. Even the eerie Felton Lonnen had lost something. And there's generally less of the dark among their new songs, which I found mostly too light and pretty (but then I do tend to go more for the dark melancholy stuff myself!).

Not everyone's opinion, I know.
