I feel like that's the critic's cop-out from admitting that it sucks.

"You gotta listen to the album as a whole, man!"

"If you're just listening for one good song, you're listening wrong!"

It's just such a yawnfest album, and I can't stand the singing. It's like a piss-poor imitation of Thom Yorke's style.

The best thing about '91 was that not only was punk exploding into the mainstream, but underground music was still great too...

I really disliked The Suburbs. one of the worst albums of the year in my book.
