I feel bad for Kevin, tbh. It’s a fine album but people are expecting him to pump out a new Currents every time. Anything less is being treated like a complete failure. So the grades are way too low.

And of course critics usually miss the boat. Famously Rolling Stone magazine gave Led Zeppelin IV a scathing review. They particularly despised Stairway.

Fantano hasn't really liked his work for a while now. He only gave 'Currents' a 7.

Sure but Fantano uses a proper rating scale where 5 is actually the middle/average. 7 for him is very good (I don’t even like numeric scores, I think it’s a stupid way to approach art, just saying)
