 Yeah, that's the very reason I quit reading the reviews, and just simply enjoy the music, and make my own opinions and impressions about the artist work.  Unfortunately, the media can't distinguish between the simple craftsmanship and the works of art in music.
In my opinion the Capricornia is my way of trying to learn about Australia, because I've always been curious about it, and that's one of my dream places to visit (hope soon).  I've never been there yet, but the album just paints very visual picture of the particular region of that ancient land.  That's one of their most amazing works, and I am extremely thankful to them for creating it.

Does it list an address where I can send my copy of Capricornia for a refund, surely the band is going to alter the album and add some September 11 content? Why not throw away some songs and add some new ones to do that. Surely a major mistake by Midnight Oil - no-one wanted them to do what they want with their music. They didn't have the time to get it right, but we'll give them a second chance! (P.S. How about a song about how we can sleep in burning beds - that's the ever important question?) Also the sun isn't shining here, so if possible I'd like "Too Many Clouds" instead of "Too Much Sunshine". Please change that as well.

Whoah.. when the Oils stop surprising listeners and write the kind of material some idiots demand, I'll sell my Oils albums. Same goes for using them as a political tool.

Maybe including SYP wasn't a great idea after all?

I still think Capricornia is easily the best Oils album since ESM.. I must be wrong then.

Next: The secret meaning behind A Crocodile Cries.
