DN was never gonna be an easy album to write about and I admire Stearns for having a go. But he seems too in awe of it to give it a fair account. At times he's like some kid that's convinced his fave album will just be too much for people, that they won't be able to 'take it'. Hey, we're talking about Daydream Nation here, not Metal Machine Music. This is an album that's had tracks performed on Letterman without mass psychosis gripping America.
