and power", and its "frenzied, chaotic bluster" lacks the effectiveness of Rio (1982). Davis also opined that good lyrics were "hard-earned" as Le Bon's "beatnik muse" had vanished. The band as a whole were not satisfied with it musically. John, in particular, felt Seven was anticlimactic after Rio (1982), writing in his memoir: "Seven and the Ragged Tiger is a beautifully textured record, but it didn't hit you viscerally in the way the earlier albums had." EMI re-released Seven and the Ragged Tiger in 2010 in two configurations: a two-disc digipak and a three-disc box set (consisting of two CDs and one DVD). The latter includes on the DVD the first official release of the As the Lights Go Down video. Like the reissue of their self-titled debut released the same year, the remastering had a negative reaction from fans as a victim of the loudness war. Andy Taylor (who had left the band) criticised the remaster, saying that it "sounds like it was done down the pub" and condemning EMI for promoting the demos as bonus tracks: "they should be gifting them to fans after 30 years of support...shame on all involved". EMI refused to recall the reissue because complaints about its sound quality were "by far in the minority".
