We can't all like the same things, that's for sure. But neither can we put a younger man's head on MK's shoulders. There's no doubt he has mellowed some, but as he he's frequently said, he always looks forward, not back. Perhaps he's just gotten bored with what's gone before, and just wants to mix it up a bit? He's renowned for wanting it his way, but in recent years he's also wanted the band to give more input, get more acknowledgment. He's also pointed out the song is the important thing, pulling back from fancy guitar solos. Yes, I'd love him to create some of the raw stuff I was listening to him play nearly forty years ago, but do you know what, I like the two songs I've limited myself to so far, and previous experience has shown that listening to the CD through headphones sounds far better than what I've heard on in lossy DAB broadcasts on the radio. I'm just glad he's still producing music I do like.
