Successful maybe. Critically acclaimed?...I’m not so sure.
The Dixie Chix Album That came out after their Banishment from Country Radio was "Critically acclaimed"...
Critics don't hold sway with the record buying. I know I never bought an Album based on what some libtard from Rolling Stone said about it. I bought Albums because I like the Music!
BTW Hi Infidelity By REO is a Mutli-Platinum Album Same for Styx Paradise Theater. Critics May not like them But Millions of People bought those albums.
