I gotta disagree STRONGLY on both opinions.
Granted, neither album was as accessible or catchy as previous efforts, but they were still BEAUTIFUL pieces of music. Devil's Pie and Left and Right were perhaps the only songs I disliked on Voodoo, and on Mama's Gun I can listen to the whole album without skipping a track.
