Query: Losing whatever made them special

The best songs on this cd are the ones remade from their previous efforts. These songs sound really good given the benefits of higher-quality production. However, most of the new songs have little to offer if you are a fan of their previous work. The lyrics aren't very clever at all. I don't like their ballads; there is no joy or fun to them (unlike "if U C Jordan"). They don't sound like a punk band anymore, and I don't like the direction they are going.Their rock songs were energetic and fun, but their newer songs just seem really boring to me...
