Quite a long way from Parklife.
Quite so, but that was also from their worst album by a distance. It does no good to change your sound if the music doesn't end up sounding good (to the listener...me, in this case).

Their first four or five albums all pretty much bleed together for me (with a few exceptions: "Pop Scene," "Yuko & Hiro," and "Song 2" all stand out to me as interesting and excellent songs). Their final couple of albums began to depart from that sound but also had worse songs, IMO.
