I am totally open for him to give me a reason again to worship him like I did 30 of the 33 years I call myself a fan.
But the last tour was just bad and boring. I visited three shows and remember nothing from the music itself. The way the shows (especially London and RAH) were promoted was a big anti fan desaster. Beryl promo gigs on TV made me cringe and hope no one of my friends had seen it. The quality of the downloads was just extremely bad if you keep in mind that BG sound-detail talk stuff all day..
Tracker was some sort of sedative, objectively seen. Not one single outstanding composition, nothing new, only recycling and rearranging the usual ingredients. The setlist got worse from tour to tour, last exciting one in 2011. These are some of the reasons MK gets my full frontal criticism since a couple of years. That TE track was playing three times on YouTube for me, I did not even bother to pester friends and family with the usual "You have to listen to this MK has something new" as it is absolutely nothing worth mentioning.
Nostalgic reasons I never had.. I prefered always his solo efforts about the old times.
But I think he WANTS to let it roll out this way. Just to have a daily routine as someone must have something to do in the end. No artistic goals anymore. Filling time with utilizing the big toy that BG is...
At the moment I would not care about tour dates as I am pretty sure that I will not go. And I HAVE high expectations for the next release knowing that they will be disappointed.
It's what it is. We are in the last stage of his career, and I am in the last stage of my fandom it seems.
