IWBSBL got good reviews because it's a good album  Some of the same critics who reviewed that album reviewed this one as well, and as time has gone on and more people have reviewed it, the score has continued to go down (45 now). I've only seen one good review so far.
Still should be interesting to read your long posted review though  |
Trust me... the review SAJ got when it firstly came out and they were unknown were mostly tuning to "what a boredom and uninventive collections of whine".
I remember it clearly because I couldn't synchronice with that, and the American friends I was passing the Summer with 10 years ago were like "this band indeed is great!! Reviewers are crazy!".
It was one of the first time I realized I didn't really need a critic's opinion to form mine, and started to trust more my ears and musical inclination
But I know this is already what YOU do.
My review is going to be posted I guess tomorrow.
We are all still listening to Overexposed in the office as of now...
and with each listening we love the record more.
I am only unsatisfied with how Wasted Years turned out.
That song was written to stay over an R&B beat... the pop suit doesn't fit the lenght of its verses, at all.
But I'll say more later
but that's it: this album is destined to have people have the most diverse experiences of it.
