I for one don't hate him! I still like Sandstorm... It's a great track, it just got overplayed. But some of his other production is a little suspect, but give him a break, it's his first album... He was an amateur at-home producer before he hit it big with Sandstorm. Sandstorm was a number 1 hit on mp3.com way before it was ever discovered by fellow Finnish producer JS16 (most famous for his hit track "Stomp to my Beat") and publicly released.
I think he was pushed to release an album before he was truly ready and that's why a lot of his tracks may sound the same and are not expertly produced... He needs time to truly develop his skills and style. I'm sure he'll only get better in the future.
He was probably pushed to perform LIVE before he probably should have too.
