I also came late to the show, but MM is one of those bands that only comes along once in their generation and we should all be glad that we have had the opportunity to enjoy their music and craftsmanship. Also, as elcheeserpuff states the people who dismiss the later music in favor of the earlier stuff are trying to gain some indie cred, they need to relax! I remember when I was a "hipster doofus" when the indie movement started and anyone who gained acclaim through record sales was immediately labeled as a "sellout." As I got older, I realized that there is no sin in growing artistically and broadening your horizons through bring more people to the show, in fact it should be encouraged. As a middle aged father of two, I can only imagine what my neighbors think while I'm listening to my ipod while mowing the yard and screaming at the top of my lungs in my finest Isaac Brock!
