Following the departures of founding members Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Paul McGuigan, the band adjusted its sonic trajectory:
Personnel shifts; incorporation of psychedelic and electronic elements. Heathen Chemistry
: A compilation album consisting entirely of B-sides. It is widely considered by fans and critics to be superior to several of their formal studio albums.
