and I said "work", not dicking around

I wish AV Club were my teacher b/c I wouldn't receive anything below a B.

Ok, so I guess it's bad because it's not poppy enough and needed more hooks.

Agreed

Pointing out a very obvious flaw with music criticism nowadays but to each his own.

yup. you missed my point too.

My point is that I think this is an album than needs to be digested. The review could've been a little more though out. Not knee-jerk like a review of a TV episode. Got me?

5 years of work and dismissed as a "B" record after 2 days of listening. Seems fair…

I give this review a B- because I read it once and put little thought into it.
