Unimpressive despite some critical applause

A few recent disappointments even though the critics are not as unamused :

Steve Mason: Boys Outside . The sound is not bad but lyrics this weak need a strong sound. If Mason comes to realize he needs a lyricist then he stands a chance. This one misses.

Maps & Atlases: Perch Patchwork . Cool name for the band is not enough.
