Saw this review a couple of weeks ago
I'm not commenting anymore on this gig in case I upset anyone else For the
record I think Jazs monologues have massively decreased The main thing is
the band going forward with new material No band at this stage of the career
is writing such good stuff The annoying thing is they'll play it only once
and then go bac to playing requiem wardance etc Even the old fans must b
getting bored of this stuff being constantly wheeled out It's good to hear
butcher tommorows world though which they havent played for a few years B
nice to hear nighttime and darkness before dawnagain.

++++++++++++++

I agree. They always seem to throw in one or two deep cuts every tour which
is nice. But considering how good the last two albums have been, it's a
shame they not only don't play much from those albums, but they seem to
stick with the weakest tracks (This World Hell, Great Cull, Corporate
Elect). "In Cythera" is probably the strongest single they've released in
the last decade and it's been played maybe twice? We here in North America
missed out on the tour behind MMXII so it looks like we'll be lucky to just
get the mediocre Corporate Elect (would much prefer Rapture if it's gotta be
one song) in the set this month.
