Same. The crowds and tourist atmosphere certainly don't help, but even disregarding them I wasn't impressed with what I saw. Same goes for the few other gaudi buildings I peeped at, as well as park guell. I can understand how their design in the late 19th/early 20th century would be very novel, but it all just seemed merely whimsical rather than inspiring or thought provoking. If we're comparing late 19th century basilicas, Sacre Coeur takes top billing in my book.
