I respect Anders and love the fuck out of the guy... but his opinion here could not be further from mine.

I think Around The Sun is a bit like a modern Pearl Jam album, where you are disappointed at first, but then when you’ve heard it several times, you start recognizing the songs, and you see their value. It’s an underrated album for sure, better than Accelerate and Collapse.
