Title: Rolling Stone are ...!!
Review: Correct me if I'm mistaken, but... didn't Rolling Stone name this the "Worst ALbum of 1996"?!?!?! That's why I've chosen to eschew the music press altogether... They are too influenced by what's "in" at the moment. Remember the Top Pop Singles of All-Time article, with 20 or 30 boy-band and teen-... songs on it?? Geez!! No wonder this record was panned when it first came out: it was not in keeping with the music being heard at the time, AND it didn't have a "Buddy Holly" on it. This album is: a)MUCH better than the "Green ALbum", and b)As good, and probably more consistent than the "Blue Album". This is, in my book, Rivers Cuomo's masterpiece, with its sheer moodiness and explosiveness: if the Blue Album was a bespectacled cool geek, Pinkerton has taken off the eye-glasses and rocks as hard, tousled and sweaty as Black Francis ever did!
