It’s a turbulent time for arena-touring rock drummers right now. Last week, Foo Fighters unceremoniously fired their drummer Josh Freese after two years, and that news has only been overshadowed by the Who’s indecision about keeping Zak Starkey in their own lineup.

They just put out their fourth full-length offering — that’s what they call their own records! — titled Even In Arcadia, and regular Stereogum contributor Eli Enis wrote such a scathing pan of it that I had to listen for myself just to see if it was really that bad. Eli’s right. It’s really that bad. And yet, Even In Arcadia is currently the #1 album in America.
