I couldn't agree with the title of this review more. And it bodes well for the impending critical reassessment of Operation Dumbo Drop.

I too can't get past the vocals. The album's also a bit overproduced, for me anyway.

It took me a bit to get into it. I like to think of it as their Prince album.

I really love Pure Comedy. It's definitely the kind of album that starts to collapse under its own weight, but I'd rather see an ambitious artist reach beyond his means than to play it safe. Everything through "Leaving L.A." is damn near perfect.

Spoon is once again damned by the fact that they are so consistently great. People now take them for granted.

Here are a few from this year that aren't on the list and that I've really enjoyed:

I get that this is the internet, and we don't always have time to form grammatically correct and syntactically coherent sentences. But, geez Louise, this is some barely coherent nonsense.

I wrote this as a comment on another website, but it seems relevant here as well. Here's my Hillbilly Elegy story:

But what's number one? What's number one!?

She's not wrong. A greater focus on the female characters next time could keep the series from getting too stale.

His performance is a nice summation of the tone of the film in general. It's tongue in cheek, but still asks you to take it seriously. It's a real balancing act that I don't think most American directors would be able to manage outside of Tarantino.

Skull Island has been strangely underrated. The film is vicious and hilarious and hilariously vicious. It really nails its tone in a way that most big budget films can't.

Split was a dumb but enjoyable B-movie with some great cinematography. I wouldn't put it on anyone's best of list, but compared to M. Night's recent efforts, it was okay.

But aren't all cities in Pennsylvania pretty much the same?

The irony of our times is that the people who are most invested in the idea of "Western Civilization" will be the ones who will lead to its downfall.

Once again, Twin Peaks is showing us how safe the average TV show is.

From what I can tell, Jake Busey has only about twenty percent of his father's manic energy, ninety percent of his father's looks, but only a minimal amount of his father's insanity. It's not a bad trade off, I suppose.

What are the chances that this gets really meta and King makes an appearance as himself? (Of course, they'll probably save this for the finale).

Liam Neeson is all of a sudden seen wearing a MAGA hat.

So long as they keep the baby merchant.
