Some great output, some absolute dogshit.
The pair of albums with the Jenny Saville artwork (The Holy Bible and Journal For Plague Lovers) are absolutely superb.
The chart-friendly stuff (especially This Is My Truth, remarkably a huge winner at the Brit Awards) is absolute wank.
I saw them support Oasis at Maine Road, where there were 4 bands very much of that era (Cast, Ocean Colour Scene, the Manics and Oasis) on the bill, and they were far from the worst. They ran Oasis close for the best act on the day to be honest, and Cast and Ocean Colour Scene were absolutely turgid.
