Is This It?
As far as I can tell, there's a lot of love on DiS for this album.
Now, when it came out, I thought it was extremely dull. One-paced derivative NYC-rock-by-numbers, sung by a group of people I didn't particularly warm to, and a general triumph of hype and marketability over quality.
I've gone back to it a couple of times since, and never been persuaded otherwise. Should I give it another shot, or write it off and assume I'm just never going to get it?
