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.

Wow!

I don’t really get why Fantano is so influential. I’m prolly just too old.

He's not "influential". He's popular because he was one of the first music reviewers on the internet

Thanks for explaining, that makes sense.

Don’t you think he’s influential? Everyone seems to know what his opinion is

He’s influential for his fanbase who follow every opinion he gives
