Still brilliant but a further step towards mainstream

The album describes the way of changing the mainstream, the The Boxer Rebellion have taken since Union. (Especially) exits but also "Union" have much more quality than the new album. The songs are partly correct "good" and "softened". However, one must also acknowledge these artists that they want to be known by now. This is mostly unfortunately only with gentle sounds of the masses (mainstream flat). Coldplay has unfortunately shown us with the last two albums. Listen to the latest ballad in the film "Going the Distance - Mad About You" on. A very good move to finally find their way into the spotlight ... in spite of everything, I think the boys are ne real asset.
Pursue them since 2004 and was on numerous club concerts. They are very personable and make ne top performance!
They deserve it all. My recommendation therefore: Buy!
