And aren't capable of turning perfectly serviceable 7/10s and promising b-sides into big things for themselves, via analysis and imagination.

There is considerably more good music than good listeners.
Touche, sir.

In my defense, I tried. I really did. I like Golden Platitudes for the lyrics and songwriting and The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever because it has trumpet and funk elements, a welcome break from the blandnesss elsewhere. It could have been a nice album, Some Kind Of Nothingness is a genuinely tremendous lyric, could have bee an absolute all time great with Lifeblood production.
