Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. BOC haven't been hugely popular in
almost 20 years, and although not all of their stuff gets the most
glowing reviews, I've never gotten the impression that they were ever
critically despised.

In fact, a lot of the negative reviews I've read
(including one for Imaginos in 'Creem') weren't really negative at
all. The reviewers were generally lamenting the fact that a band that
has shown it can do so much more is performing well below par.

For the record, I thought the Creem dude who said that about Imaginos was
waaaaay off.
