The Edge once called them bland.
Didn't Fanning get pissed off to the point where he subtly or not so subtly slagged them off in a song?

Get back to me, Bernard, when you've dissected love the way U2 did in 'So Cruel' or 'Ultraviolet'.
You're unfamiliar with my distaste for Ultra Violet and most of Interference's distaste for So Cruel?
Now if you'd said Fanning had never written a lyric as evocative as A Sort of Homecoming, we'd be in full agreement.
I must admit I am probably quite out of touch as I was completely unaware of either of those things. They sway my opinion not a jot, though.
Jesus fuck, even Matt Berninger should kill to have written a song like So Cruel (not a million miles from his latterday Roy Orbison bent btw).
I've generally understood the common opinion on this forum to be that So Cruel is a quality lyric but a very boring song, and it's certainly an opinion I share - good idea, poor execution. I'd toned back on piping up with my vitriol for Ultra Violet because I thought everybody within ten miles of Interference was sick of hearing it.
however, common interference opinion regarding a song makes me gravitate toward whatever the opposite opinion is.
