There's a huge difference between being critically acclaimed and being popular. Even if there wasn't, having a critically acclaimed album doesn't make you a veteran, tons of debuts are critically acclaimed. Your reasoning as usual is shit.
No, Ethan. Your reasoning, as usual, fails to actually take any notice of what the other person said. Pity, but hey, what can ya do, eh?

The point (which hopefully you'll get this time, I know it's hard), was that Wolf is not new either in the temporal sense (given that the thread is referring to acts that have been emerging from the scene pretty mega-recently), nor is he new to critics. He's also had a fan-following for a fair while. He doesn't have anything to do with what this thread is asking. Stop arguing merely for the sake of it, it doesn't get either you or the discussion anywhere.

Hell, even if Wolf DID qualify as a newcomer, that wouldn't stand as anything against the general point here. We've allowed for the odd decent act here and there. The issue is more along the lines of the general creative bankruptcy of the latest acts. There's always going to be something on the positive side. Hopefully a number of things.
