How does something go from critically panned, and maybe even kind of a joke, to being considered good? I ask this question on the back of seeing the new Evanescence album with a score of 80 on Metacritic. I can't believe that's still a band.
Here are some of those works or people I'm thinking of, just off the top of my head, but there are surely more:
Apologies to Bondo. I wrote this and realized you like at least a few of these. Maybe you can provide some pushback?
Keanu Reeves (This is the big one that alerted me to this very strange type of revisionist history. I will even admit that I've started to like the guy. He's still not a fantastic actor by any means.)
Enya
Showgirls
N Sync & Backstreet Boys
Evanescence
So how does this happen?
