37 albums that music critics really hate, but normal people love

In popular music, negative reviews can often mean nothing to the everyday listener, who will flock to albums that critics have condemned.

To track this disparity, Metacritic provided Business Insider with data about which albums (since the year 2000) have most divided critics and regular listeners, looking at titles with high user scores and low critical averages.

The resulting list includes lesser works from the likes of Michael Jackson and 2Pac, as well as commercially successful but critically maligned acts like Matchbox 20 and Enya.
