    I really don't understand, why the reviews are so bad. This is surely not for everyone, but nevertheless it's a great record and I love it, how "He's got the whole world" and "Fairytails of New York" is embedded in this catastrophic sound.

    This album is astonishing. Critics also panned Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Critics rarely appreciate the true avant garde.

    The music offers plenty of reasons to feel good about feeling bad; too bad that the lyrics, which suggest these feelings in the first place, evacuate themselves moments after they surface, making for a curiously glossy listening experience.

    It’s decent in places but it’s just… you know that feeling you get when someone you love is so wracked with pointless worry that you just want to shake them and shake them until they snap out of it?

    Yet like last time, there are plenty of sturdy, major-key melodies that go straight for the jugular. But whatever sing-along quality they have, their effectiveness is almost always determined by context.
