I'd describe Always Outnumbered,... as desperate rather than decent.

But now, hmmm, not so sure about all the praise. He's certainly had a rough time of it, with nervous breakdowns and all. To see him perform now is kind of sad, because he's trying like hell but just not all there. So, when critics say "SMiLE!" is the greatest thing ever, i feel like they're giving him the sympathy vote.

Concur.
