Do NMA get better with age, or is it just me imagining it?

Speaking from a musical composition and production stand-point it is the best. It's different and not what many of the older fans are used to so I think it's unfair for them to judge. If you are stuck with the idea that NMA should sound like it did in the 80's then you will be disappointed.

I just can't understand how people can think they are no longer good when the new stuff is better than old. I would not have been hooked to NMA if i had listened to No Rest first. Luckily I heard High first and that's what captured me immediately. I since became and addict to all of the music. Actually i had never heard vanity and actually until a Justin and Dean acoustic show last November. I made an idiot of myself by asking Justin "what was that last song that you played? I have never heard it."

Aw, that's just normal thing to ask. Fair thing to do. I've also asked things that I felt I lost my face in front of him when I first time met him. Things about "what Militia and what that"... We're just humans.

I've been a fan for a relatively short time - just over 5 years. I've seen them live about 10 times and I really do think they're getting better all the time. The Forum gig in London was the best live performance of any kind that I have ever been to.

I also think Ceri has had a fantastic, energising influence on the band - obviously I know nothing about what goes on behind the scenes but he seems to fit in so well, he's an absolutely CRACKING bass player (the best I've ever seen live), and he has a wonderful energy on stage.

As for the rest of them, well, they just seem to keep reaching new highs. Every time I think they can't get any better, they do. Long may it continue.
