Nick Cave (with or without his Bad Seeds/Birthday Party cohorts) is merely ok and not worth the hero worship/genius label he garners.

Apart from Ambient Works Vol 1 though…

No matter how hard I try I cannot discern a change in quality of Weezer’s output over the last 20 years.

This is not intended as praise for their consistent high quality.

The first two Smashmouth albums are wonderful.

The Horrors have been in terminal decline since ‘primary colors’. The last 3 albums vapid, ham-fisted record collector rock is as mediocre as Kasabian’s (who can at least be amusing on occasion, if unwittingly so) but, due to presenting themselves as being articulate musical aesthetes who release the odd lounge music compilation, are taken far more seriously by serious music fans and critics.
