Things like "IMO" are usually put there to cool things down.

Darling, I get criticized and reprimanded for calling some of Stevie's songs "garbage," it's just par for the course these days.
Save Me A Place
is a fantastic song. He took very minimalistic elements and somehow managed to make an emotionally compelling song out of them. In this case, I think the song benefits from not having a whole mess of words to it, he says it all in the few he chose to use and the accompanying music. Regardless if other people like it or think it's "sludge," I do and it's one of my favorites for many reasons.
I'm not offended at someone expressing their views on it, even if they hate it, but I have to wonder why people who criticize me for such harsh language when referring to tunes use that same harsh language when referring to SMAP. The language doesn't bother me one bit because I'm just as harsh. But don't call me out next time or I'll have to throw the "hypocrisy" word around and eventually put a
"Rescind the Strike!" in my signature.
