Empire of the Sun sucks live?

I've been listening to up-and-coming, Australian, electronic, duo, Empire of the Sun for a while now and when I heard they were touring the US my heart skipped a beat. I was so excited. Not surprisingly though they're not coming anywhere near Houston, or even Texas for that matter. However, my disappointment has been alleviated by an article I read on Spinner.com which claims that they don't sound so hot live. I don't always take what the critics say at face value but it was just kind of shocking for me to hear this. I don't know if it means anything to you guys. Just a heads up if anyone has tickets to see them. However, I do recommend their 2008 LP Walking on a Dream.
