Haven't heard it. Bridging the Gap was okay, haven't heard their first. When I found out Justin Timberlake was on the new album, I decided to give it a miss.
Justin Timberlake on the new one?
F*ck me, it's worse than I first thought.
I was just going by the commercialised sh*t I've heard on the radio.
2 years ago, I would've been stoked that I was going to see them at the BDO, now I don't reckon I'll even watch them.

Biggest sell-out in music history's a big call. I can think of dozens of bands over the years who have changed their style to make it more mainstream, or once held anti-establishment attitudes then become establishment corporate rock/pop/MTV-friendly: The Doors, Rolling Stones, Stranglers, The Clash, UB40, Eric Clapton, Metallica, Aerosmith, Offspring, Dre, Leanne Rimes and that other C&W chick (Faith Hill?), No Doubt (who used to be a ska band), and punk band that signs with a major label, etc etc etc.
Don't mind Where is the Love: don't know why they used Justin Timberlake because it adds nothing, could have got a session harmonist to sing, so maybe that's a sell-out, but why didn't they have him more prominent in the video clip if they really wanted to capitalise on his popularity? I've read reviews that the girl they've added, Fergie, doesn't cut it vocally in live performances, so maybe she's just there to broaden their appeal.
