Well, quite. People judging music by whether or not they like it is hardly a mindblowing observation - it's what everyone does.
So why will you be judging the album against previous Stranglers albums and other artists releases from 2021?
If you like it will you like it less/more when you tot up the best of 2021?

Because firstly - and I've already explained this above - that's what fans do, and secondly - as I've also already explained above - I'm not going to spend more time with a lacklustre effort by a band I already like than I need to when there's more options out there in terms of new music that I'd rather be spending time with. It's not very difficult to grasp.

I suspect the band would find it a tad amusing that people are still misunderstanding their new releases, as happened in 1977!
Why do you need to understand something to like it? Never stopped me liking La Folie before I understood any French
