Yeah, it was an article about Radiohead's new album and in discussing how long it took them to make the album, it said:

"On the face of it, this is not good news. Extended, unsupervised periods in the recording studio are notoriously bad for rock bands and tend to result in overblown stillborns like Fleetwood Mac’s cocaine opus, Tusk, and the inconsequential doodlings which dominate the Stone Roses’ sadly mistitled Second Coming."

Overblow this: TUSK is nothing short of a MASTERPIECE. That's all that need be said.

I bet you a million to one that 99% of the people who say that Tusk is a bad album haven't heard it since it came out, or are simply parroting a tired old party line.
