You know, you gotta respect the fact that they're arguably one of the biggest mainstream rock bands out there right now, actually still sell albums, sell out tours all over the world, and yet maintain cred with music snobs and musicians, even though they write hooky radio rock. I think it helps that they always manage to keep their edge and energy, never sounding too polished, and most importantly, they keep everything sounding fun and are actually really decent, down to earth guys.
On a semi-related note, this sounds MASSIVE.
