[kj] O/T The Most Overrated Album In The World....Ever

[Alex Smith]

Ahh, I so appreciate the vote of confidence, Melinda m'dear, but I've certainly been wrong before.

But in this case, something about the Arcade Fire just makes me wince and run for the exits. 

But, y'know, at the very end of the day, I guess they're still better than a lot of the crap I'm surrounded by here at MTV.

Oy,

Alex in NYC
