So true. Basically, if you want to know if you like it, don't bother reading reviews and just listen to it.

Some of the Silverchair stuff back in the day was okay. Lyrically very weak but very listenable, for me, obv.

Top notch obvious advice, you've got a career ahead of you at the NME.

Could've seen you digging The Decemberists actually, thought their kind of baroque orchestral acoustic dealy was your bag. I don't mind them myself, but after the way they'd been spoken of on CW I was a bit underwhelmed with Picaresque. Like a GCSE level Scott Walker album, but without the gorgeous baritone.
