As always, my answer is this:
Original score was U.2 
, now updated to an 8.2. The review has been left absolutely the same otherwise so it now makes no sense. I mean, this is exactly how you would expect an 8.2 album review to finish, right?
Do You Like Rock Music? sounds empty at its core, with a rock where its heart should be.
Megatwats.
my theory with Be Here Now reviews is that all the reviews were written after 1 or 2 listens, under the influence of just as much sniff as the band were when recording
that record literally sounds like cocaine - very clean and all the treble in the world
People lost their minds when that record came out. There was so much hype. I queued up to buy it on release day like thousands of others.
I think there was a huge element of the music press burying their heads in the sand. Theyâd instigated the hype. The album release was on the national news as the first story. No-one wanted to believe it was shite. But shite it is.
I think this is more common than people will ever admit, itâs very easy to hype and will yourself into thinking something is better than it is
yeah Kid A/Amnesiac were received quite poorly critically and commercially in general originally. It was only as the decade rumbled on that people started to recognise how great/important they are
The Everlasting Gaze is probably my favourite production on a Pumpkins track
