It's not just ATRL though. This is life in general.
Everyone has a different opinion/taste.
If i came in here and said Nicole's Big Fat Lie is the best album of 2014 I would be laughed at. I would be dragged. But why though? IN MY OPINION, it is the best of the year. Who are you to say it is not? Is there an official metric to actually say what is good and what not?
And critics are the same. Why would i take a critic's opinion as a fact?

Is there a definition of what good music is? it's simply a matter of taste.
