It's obvious they massively changed their style to be more commercial, god a song title like "Sex On Fire" proves that, but it lowered them a bit. I don't begrudge bands for going for the mainstream by any means, but it does usually mean weakening your sound to become more accessible.
Only By The Night is a decent album, but easily their weakest, it just kinda throws them in with the other generic rock bands, near the top of that list.
I heard that they got completely crushed the Reading crowd.....whether that's true is another story though -_-
