The whole idea of disco-PUNK turned into disco-something (maybe disco-hipster?), and instead of that original groove, there appeared much more mass-conforming melodies. Pitchfork celebrated you, while last.fm shoutbox got flooded with new fans saying things like "ohhh, i've just heard of this band and they are so cool!", echoing what they previously wrote on the page of some other pitchfork hype, as well as on the page of arctic moneys or cold play.
The main point is this: the whole political kick is gone, and that's a shame. It's clear you "don't give a fuck" anymore about that, and that you definitely didn't "Intensify". …
