It’s kind of a bummer that I can never catch them live, because—if I'm reading the vibe right—they aren't exactly into the kind of gritty wilderness I grew up in (Guerrilla Marketing, more like?!). But hey, there's always time... Maybe I'll finally get my chance during The Thirties.

Quoting you here because I basically agree with most of what you said. That was pretty much how I felt when I first heard them, all the way through listening to Life at 30.
Whenever you get the chance, you should definitely see them live. And they do venture out into the "wilds." Last time I caught them, it was out in the sticks near Vienna, and they were sooo good. Honestly, they can be a little lazy when it comes to touring, but the wait is worth it. Personally, I feel like I won out, because that was one of the best shows I've ever seen them play.
