GG I am not sure what you mean by "Critical Acclaim"...? Do you mean by sales, or by Billboard/Rolling Stone's standards, or just our Own opinions, as Lynch pointed out we all have different tastes and what I love as a debut others might say is average. Then again when you go deep enough you could use your local newspapers to back up a Critical Acclaim perspective, these things are regional as well. Bands that were huge here might not even be noticed in the US or Europe...
