Spin

Everyone go to metercritic.com and look up Modest Mouse's Moon and Antarctica. Spin named it one of the best albums of the past 20 years but here it proves that they are total hypocrits because they only gave the record a 3 out of 10. Spin is such a cop out.

Revisionist history. It's a great push and shove game to see how something is esteemed in the long run.

Re: Spin

you mean metacritic.com

Re: Spin

Also, remember that the review is one critic, while the Top 100 was likely the result of all of Spin's critics.

Re: Spin

Yeah but if that were the case Modest Mouse would have appeared in there year end list. I agree with the 3/10 review. It really wasn't that great. Hardcore fans are just trying to use the "Surfer Rosa" approach and say that "the Moon and Antarctica" was a brilliant masterpiece only because there last album had hits and true "underground" music isn't supposed to have hits ala "Doolittle."
