I looked the album up on Wikipedia, to see what songs were even on it (I'm definitely one of the casual listeners he mentions). The only one I've heard from that album is "I Don't Care" but I like that one! And I do think I like their music that's come afterward more than what they started with, though I don't mind their older songs I've heard, either. What I think is kind of sad, though, is that at least according to Wikipedia, the album got pretty good critical reviews! 4/5 stars, some As, a B. Which makes me think that the bad reviews (and bad "fan" reactions) must have been much, much louder, so the point they'd drown anything else out. :(
