To me, this review represents the generally smug attitude towards the Hip that I read from a lot of non-Canadian music critics (i.e. critics who haven't followed the band's career/music and can't be bothered). Ultimately, who gives a damn what these people think, but it is still annoying. Sure, Tamarkin is definitely within his right not to like the album, but his tone doesn't set with me too well.
