Query: Typical NY hype job

The criticla praise for this album from critics in general and NY critics in particular reminds me a lot of the way NY sportswriters cover the Knicks. Basically, the Knicks have been pretty [sad] for the last few years, but every time they win 2 in a row, the "critics" start to tout them for the championship. Same thing with the Strokes- NYC hasn't had too many killer bands in the last few years, so when they get something halfway decent, they try to pretend it's the second coming of the Velvets or the Heads. Basically, this is a pretty weak album. Try a little Bardo Pond or Yo La Tengo or Wilco!!
