Evolution is overrated. I think Plaid have done a good job with Double
Figure. If they are a one trick pony, then it's a damn fine trick they have.
I would prefer to see them stay the same than degenerate into something
lesser because of the pressure to evolve. After all, how many times have we
thought that an artist's later work is inferior to their beginning stuff (I
mean this generally)? I can see why evolution is ultimately where it's at.
But without the stability of artist's like Plaid we'd have nothing to chill
out to while we anxiously await the next evolution.
