I was wondering what other people thought of this guy? He calls himself the 'dean of American rock critics' but most of the time I don't know what he's on about. This is a link to his GNR reviews (he gave AFD a grade of B-).

Unbelievably, he's better than most rock critics, but that's not saying much. Most rock critics use sentences like "Coldplay's cryptoslavic dispensationalism resides in an esoteric utilization of chromatic progressions actualized by postobjectivist defenestration".  :rofl:

He's bad, but he isn't postmodern bad.
