How did they go from being one of the coolest bands in the world to being what they are now?

I'm listening to Antics now. First time since about 2006. It creates such a unique atmosphere. I think that while its not as strong song-for-song as ToBL, it sounds more mature. Its more subtle.

But then their third album didn't even really have any impact on anything.

And they headlined loads of festivals didn't they?

What a shame. They seem to have run their course. Its probably best they split up before they make anything worse.
