It's really weird; almost everybody I've talked to has really enjoyed the new music, but there's a core group of "top critics" who have really trashed it. The cynical side of me wants to say that they're following Pitchfork's sensationalist lead (and I am a constant defender of Pitchfork, but the scores they gave to those EPs were clearly poking for a reaction).

Maybe it's like when almost every veteran band puts out a mediocre album that fans like because that's what fans do?

I'd suppose I'd be in for that since I've been listening to them a lot these days, but my knowledge is probably not deep enough. I'm very recent to most of their stuff.
Finally pulled the trigger on the MFSL versions of Doolittle and surfer on wax. Wow. They sound immense. My 4ad copies sounded pretty great. But there is no comparison. Huge huge sound. Punchy, bombastic (the good kind) very impressed. Among the best sounding records I own. Super crankable.
