This reads like a dkfan post

Nothing worse than watching a once great band keep going past their expiration date.

yes, that is the worst. There isn't anything worse than that. That is as worst as it gets.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this regard.

It's also sad because it reminds us that we too are past our prime :)

Good example for good art = angst - i am a comic artist/writer who suffered serious burnout. Until recently when I began feeling the urge to get back into it. It was only til i looked at where i was that it wasn't 'i want to get back into it' to 'i NEED to get back into it' - turmoil begat inspiration begat passion. I'm waiting for PJ to be passionate about their records again - their live shows without a doubt - their records not as much.

Or they could just be past their prime creatively and we should enjoy the output we got.
