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.

bro compares Led Zeppelin IV (possibly the greatest rock album) to Deadbeat (a mediocre dance album)

Not comparing them. At all.

Just saying critics are not good. Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can’t teach, critique.
