I know it is silly to let these things get in the way of enjoyment of an album, but I have to admit that my enjoyment of this album was impaired by the hype it received. That's not to say I enjoyed it less merely because it was hyped, but that rather, due to the hype, I was expecting fireworks...so MUCH more. Like, this amazing masterpiece, a classic of the decade. And, whatever way one wants to look at it, that's not what it was.

But it is good in its ways. Archangel is a superb piece.
