I'm pretty sure this list should actually just be titles "Music we don't like" especially given the lack of any sort of critical commentary of why the authors think this music is "mediocre" (note, I'm a cis-female myself, and don't agree or disagree with some/any/all of this list), just pointing out that no reason is given other than the authors opinion...
I've no idea whatsoever from what album it's rooted, but this might be my favorite dude-riffic song/video of all time. Was called to our attention by none other than Dominic Holden at the end of one of his morning news roundups, with the simple caption,"Stitches, Ladies and Gentlemen."
The Stranger is now reviewing a listicle that was written in response to another listicle, the original of which had little substance to begin with? Save this shit for your fucking Tumblr or a drunken Facebook post.
Including any Belle and Sebastian album on this list is clear evidence of severe mental disability.
MAYBE could be on a list of not so great albums in an artists otherwise flawless catalog.
Thank the gods my ears were born in the previous century and I have never been subjected to any of this dismal-sounding codswallop. I think I will go home and listen to Heart belt out Barracuda on the hi-fi.
... although that said, isn't that what every subjective "best of / worst of" list is?
Terrible because it's hip to hate on popular stuff?
Terrible because you heard the album too many times?
Meh... whatev.
Gosh, it's entertaining.
