Right, well to be honest, one of the sources of its acclaim that I'm looking at is RYM, which doesn't draw a lot of casual music fans, and not only is it in the top 300 albums overall, but it's 5th in indie pop, and 4th for 1999.
RYM probably doesn't mean a lot to many people, but as a member of its community and someone who uses it as their staple resource, it kind of annoying to see such a soulless release receive so much attention.
EDIT: I agree that there's nothing, apart from length, really wrong with this album, but I think it's worthwhile to note that there isn't anything it nailed either. It's kind of an epitome of mediocrity.
