i saw mmj at lollapalooza (with a kids orchestra!) and also at a 600 person hall--they are a great live band. jim james is really one of the best singers of this generation, and they jam purposefully, without the formless wankery of so many of their peers. that said, i find their each of records after "it still moves" to be progressively worse--they're going farther away from the spacey/country/soulful thing they do so well and closer to glossy MOR. i just heard a song off their new one (it's on spotify) and it was cringeworthy.
