OK ... I can't resist a quick RS bash ... Two of my favorites.

The Who - IT'S HARD ... 5 stars. Called "their best album since WHO'S NEXT." 
To quote Richard Belzer, "yeah, right."

Teenage Fanclub - BANDWAGONESQUE. SPIN calls it the album of the year. RS 
finally reviews it about 4-5 months later and absolutely slags it off. Then, 
when TFC's followup, THIRTEEN, is released, they slag it off saying that it 
was a big letdown from their masterpiece, BANDWAGONESQUE.

Clueless. I just stick with Q and Mojo now.
