Yeah, I think "hype" is the operative word.
So far, Rolling Stone had praised it, and it seems we can all agree on how much to value their opinion.
And Matador has praised it, whom, I would guess, has a vested interest in the album, and the producer of the album has praised it (as if he was gonna say, "It's alright. Could've been better"?).
IF, in fact, it is a good record, I hope Matador doesn't take any credit. Admit it, Geffen released pretty much what SY wanted, so it's not like they were holding SY back from their full potential or anything. As far as the "pressure for hits" claim goes, I don't know what this means. "We hope your next album has a hit single on it. It'd be a shame if Lee's arm got broken..."
