I can't be sure what it is about TNT that turns so
many people off instantaneously - my reaction was
similar though not so extreme - but like several
others I've met, the album has grown on me
_considerably_, and now I like it quite a bit. I
think it's the conglomeration of influences you
mention, and the fact that it's too "accessible" (two
things that seem to signal music I usually don't care
for and set off certain stereotypes, but are not
inherently bad at all I don't think).
The new oval is much more "structured" btw... and
accessible... which had the opposite effect on me.
