I'm not, btw, saying that the snippet is crap, let alone extrapolating that 15 seconds to imply anything about the album. I'm simply saying that keep one's opinions to oneself is not supportive and not in fact helpful.

And in time one gets to know how somebody one likes will react to negative comments/opinions .. and IF you like them you take account of that in the method of comunication and language you use so that your view CAN be helpful .. and sometime keep your own counsel, for to not express an uninvited critique is not to lie, but merely to keep your thoughts to yourself.

Some of the comments posted here on this occasion were pretty negative, neither supportive nor helpful, and could be wholly anticipated by those who post here to evoke the reaction they did, because they have done time and time again .. but perhaps they were made precisely because of that.
