you are probably right and they shouldn't change a thing arrangement-wise (just for the sole sake of pleasing me, lol) ...i truly can't recall a critic ever given the band the 'what for' in a review

anyhow, there was nothing but bass and guitars when they songs were first recorded (until GG1 renditions) and played live, so just didn't see the need to fix something that was never broke

hey, here is that quote from Keane I was trying to paraphrase (poorly):

"When Gordon asked me to join the group, I was used to beating the tar out of the drums in the studio. Playing drums for Gordon, I think, is different than playing drums for anybody. It's really not so much what I play, but what I don't play, with Gordon. Every note almost has to be thought out and it has to have some importance to it and if it doesn't have importance, then I shouldn't play it."
