Hi back, Paul, welcome to the list! Wow, I'm just bowled over to see the three people on the list with an opinion all feel this way. I basically stopped buying their stuff after Hold Your Fire; I found it just sort of "eh"; no real "oomph" to it, although there are a few tracks on HYF that are pretty good. Overall I found their later works lacking the grand scope and musical dexterity of their older albums. The post Power Windows stuff just seemed to lack passion to me.
