Very true. Listening to Big Ugly Mouth has a glaring example of this - he kicks it off with 'Peach', which is pretty hilarious and then switches to 'Boy On The Train' which is pretty damn depressing, and you can almost hear his momentum with the crowd hit the floor during the end of that bit.
Plus he's gotten much, much more adept at the comic portion as well. I was crying with laughter when he did the bit about Internet Porn on Talk Is Cheap Vol. I album, and I've found myself laughing at and enjoying a lot more of his material, whereas albums like Nights Behind The Tree Line and Everything fall somewhat flat. I'm not sure if the material for those (can't really check Amazon Books right now due to work computer being retarded) was written around the time that Joe Cole was shot, but he seemed even more severely harassed and pissed off on those albums than he was before, and the material was way darker.
