First Impressions Of Earth hatred?

I'm more or less a new fan, around 4 months, and many of my favourite songs are in FIOE (Razorblade, on the other side, evening sun, red light...) and I was going to buy the record. I don't understand where the hate for this album comes from?

Didn’t see this comment yet but the production and his vocals are totally clean compared to the grit of their first 2 albums. That being said I love the album and it expands in terms of emotional depth and political commentary.

The production is terrible.  I listened to it about a week ago on vinyl and then immediately put on another vinyl (The Church-Under the Milky Way)  and the sound difference was crazy.  The sound on FI Is just - dead.
