Actually, that one word sums up my entire argument.
"Hooked": Brilliant. "I've come to understand that this quite impossible, and if I ever find a way I'll claim another life." You leave the club humming it, wondering "what's that song?" Asking the DJ when it comes on. There's NOTHING like that on their newest album. "Poisonous Friend" is pretty good, but can you hum a few bars now? I thought not! It's the Seabound sound, none of the Seabound magic. Bands are copying themselves but without the songs behind them.
