I've spent many, many years not listening to this album because of the "RYM-core" thing. I just assumed it was as presumptuous as some of the critics there.
Last year, after a friend recommended it to me, I decided to give it a shot, and I realized that the album is... pretty good actually!
I've spent so much time addicted to the first half of the album (+ No Surprises) that I don't hold the second half in such high regard yet, but I’m finally starting to like it fully.
