Dave Smith says "I liked their earlier stuff a lot, and I was there for both shows they recorded for the live record put out in 86. But then when U2 was big, they sounded like U2. They used to be pretty good but they kept trying to make money so they put out sucky records. They reformed when 'punk' got big in the 1990s and they still sucked but that might just me being bitter from the U2 faze."
