In times of anticipation (of new tour or a new song/album) this is a really nice place, but then when the waiting is over the complaining is all over the place. Maybe we are just expecting too much and/or we are bored quite fast with new things and setlists.
My guess is that even if there is a vocal minority that didn't like the song, more people are actually at least ok with it.
In the YouToo poll the majority gave The Blackout 4 or 3 stars, so the backlash is not that bad here.
